It was really hard to leave Provo, our home, our ward, and especially our friends. We took full advantage of our last week there to spend almost every evening with friends. I got to go out with the girls; we had a girls/boys night swap; and lots of evenings playing games. Our good friends, the Malmgrens invited us to sleep at their house our last night after the movers took all of our stuff. That was so generous (especially since it was Lis's birthday the next day). We had so much fun. We will miss all of our friends so much.
After 9 days in the car, we finally said hello to our new home in Orefield, PA (just outside of Allentown). We arrived on Sunday afternoon and our stuff came on Tuesday. The rest of the week was spent unpacking. Brent was amazing in getting all the boxes unpacked so quickly. It is so nice to have a house again with lots of space, room for everything, and especially a washer, dryer, and dishwasher. Hooray! It's a great home. The landlord left lots of shelving in the garage and storage room, plus an extra freezer in the garage. It's so nice to have places to put things. We went to our new ward this past Sunday. It's a fairly small ward, but seems really friendly. It was nice going the day before a holiday - there was a ward picnic for Memorial Day. It was great to be able to go and meet even more people there. There is a family in the ward here for the summer for an internship with Air Products (where Brent will be working). There are several young families. We are looking forward to getting to know people better and making good friends here.
I'll post all about our cross-country adventures soon...
