March Madness

Is it already April? March was a whirlwind of activity that brought many to Bountiful, Utah. All I can say is I have an amazing family who have been very supportive and handy at fixing things.

It all started with work sending me out to Indenpendence, MO right when I had to close on my townhome for the second time. I was able to find a notary and do overnight delivery of all the paperwork. I also had an amazing experience with some great people in the Midcontinent Public Library.
Me, Janice (Library director), and Susan (My co-worker)

I made it to Haun's Mill for the first time ever too. My co-worker was a descendant of a person killed at Haun's Mill so we made a special point to get out there. We almost didn't make it due to the mud and snow on the roads. We walked the last mile into it. It is quite a sober place. I loved the Far West temple site and Adam ondi-Ahman.

The night I flew back, I got the keys to my townhome, dropped a trunk full of stuff off, and came back the next morning and have been working on it ever since.

Brad and Laree were kind and let me stay at their home the evenings I worked on fixing things. They've also spent countless hours helping me out. Mom and Dad, Joy, and Bret have come a few times too. Lance brought his girls one weekend and also were a big help. It has really meant a lot to me to have the family I do and their patience with me.

Here is a little slideshow that shows how much work everyone did. I'm sorry I don't have many pictures of the work phase. I was busy working and didn't think to take any.
