The Frozen North

Well, not really. Here in Utah County, it's quite beautiful, and not all that cold. (About 46º at 11 today)  Depending on what you classify as cold, that is. Coming from Iowa and Arizona (which is supposed to be about 77º tomorrow), we're thinking it's just nice and wintery here. No pictures (and it could be a while) because we technically don't have Internet (and probably won't for a while) but I thought I'd let a few people know what we're up to. And maybe I'll catch up one of these days on the last two weeks...
We drove from 7:30 am yesterday until about 9 pm last night. It went really super well until about 10 hours into it when Katy decided she was done being put back in her car seat and did a lot of crying for the last few hours. Oh, and when Reilly got severely car sick (we thought he didn't do that anymore!) about 10 minutes from our destination. LONG day. But thankfully just one day, instead of the 3 days of driving we always took to get from Davenport to Arizona.
We are staying in Spanish Fork with the Leatherwoods, and they are so sweet to take us in and give us a little "homeless" haven while we find and move into a place. We looked at 3 different places today, and there were positives and negatives about all of them. It was such a hard decision! We finally went with which one felt best for our little family and our situation, and hopefully it will work out well for us. It is a 3-bedroom condo over near Macey's and D.I. in Provo. The part I like most about it is the access to a big "clubhouse" with a jacuzzi, sauna, big (read- the kiddos can run) nice upstairs room with couches (we don't have any of those anymore) and a piano, and a neat racquetball court-turned-exercise room that has a gated area for the kids to play while you use the equipment. It's very useful, but not so "nice" that I couldn't let the kids run all over if there weren't other people there (like today - it was empty). I think we'll be glad for the little getaway during these next few cold months in Provo.
So Jeremy's on his way down to Henderson with our empty minivan to get the essentials - air mattresses/kids' mattresses, some cooking/kitchen gear, our winter clothes (we all have light jackets currently), and and some other odds and ends that will hopefully make our condo a fun little home for the next little while. We won't have internet access for the most part (unless we go to the library, and/or from Jeremy's Droid) so posts may be a little spotty for a while. We are excited to be together as a family again, and to have somewhere to call home for now!
