Moved In

Well, we made it! After four days of traveling we are finally here!!! The trip here was long but we had fun being in the car together. Here are a few pictures from our little roadtrip!

This is what we drove and pulled all the way there...
To avoid the windy mountain roads we had to drive through Vegas first. We drove over the Hoover Dam which was really neat to see. A new bridge is being built there too! Here are some pictures of the construction going on for that...

There were SO MANY tourists to see the Hoover Dam! It took us a couple hours in stopped traffic to get to and over the Hoover Dam but the view was awesome.
I really don't like long car trips but Tony was so great about being super positive and upbeat about the whole trip, just to keep me happy. Can you tell?
Unfortunately my camera batteries died after only making it to Arizona so those are a few of the pictures that I was able to take.

We've been here for about a week and we are ALMOST fully moved in. All of the boxes are unpacked--it's just a few of my things that aren't organized yet.
We are loving our new apartment! The layout is really homey and we have an extra bedroom and bathroom. Which, surprisingly enough, we are using all the space. I have no idea where all of our stuff came from!

Tony starts work next week so we are enjoying the last week of our vacation together! We've been sleeping in, watching movies, doing lots of shopping, building shelves and other pieces of furniture along with organizing things in our new home. It has been great!
I feel so blessed to be here and for Tony to have a great job.

I'll be sure to post pictures of our new place soon!
