The Sweetest Gift

My mom has given me the sweetest gift. She sent me her tupperware sugar shaker!! I grew up with it, and have loved it forever. Tupperware no longer makes it, and I have always felt that my home would not be complete without one. My mom parted with it, just for me! She has had it in her home for at least 30 years. It will be a part of my kitchen and home forever!

Hell's Half Acre

Logan posted a picture up above. It is a place in Wyoming called Hell's Half Acre. It is the halfway point between Laramie (Univ of Wyoming - my alma mater) and Lovell (my hometown). It is between Casper and Shoshoni near the "town" of Whitman, Wyo, population 10. I love Wyoming!! Interesting info: the movie "Starship Troopers" was filmed there.

Tucson, Arizona

Well, here we are in Tucson, AZ! We are excited to be here and all moved in. We reunited as a family on Dec 21st in the SLC airport and Logan was able to meet Libby for the first time. What a sweet moment. Logan is such a great dad. They have bonded already. It took Grace about 3 minutes before she recognized Logan and then she was excited to see him and hug him... Thankfully, it did not take me that long to be excited to see him!!

After meeting up in Utah, Logan drove the Uhaul with all our belongings to Tucson, while I waited a day and then flew down with Libby and met up there. A big thanks to Conan and Ross for all their help moving stuff in AZ, and a big thanks, too, to Laurie and John for all their help is Utah. Oh, and thanks a ton to my Mom and Bob for letting me stay with them (and have a baby while there) in Wyoming while Logan was in the Academy.

As you may know, things do not always happen smoothly with us. It took the electric company a week and a half to get power hooked up to our new home (a rental), so we stayed with Conan and Chrissy for a week and a few days. Thanks to them again, for letting us invade their space, especially during the holidays.

Now that we are in our house, with most things put away in their proper places, it feels great!! Our ward is nice so far, and we are looking forward to being involved in it.

Here are a few pictures of Logan meeting Libby at the airport and a few more random ones.

Love you all!!

Dad and Libby....

All together!!
