THEE Update!

Well here we go..... Since our last post (sometime in April) we have had a lot of exciting things happen (including the whole month of May!). We will attach a file of pictures since apparently they are worth a thousand words each, making for less typing and less reading.

Simply put, the sale of our home went through in Tucson, we miss it dearly, and simultaneously the purchase of our Townhome in Flagstaff was succesful as well. Although we were aware that we had many possessions (because we had to box everything up), it was brought to the forefront as we discovered that the 26 foot rental truck we packed beyond capacity was not enough (not even close) to move everything. So we rented a second truck (16 feet) and barely were able to close the doors on that. Somehow we made it to Flagstaff and it somehow fit into the garage. Many thanks to those that helped. (Mom & Dad Goldthorpe, Mark, Trevin, Jason, Quinten, Dennis & his home teaching companion, and our realtor with her family!)

We love our home in Flagstaff! We spent the first few weeks of May doing the following: Painting, dry-wall repair, minor electric repair, installing fans, removing wallpaper, Painting, ripping out carpet, screwing down the floorboards (no more squeaking), cutting doors to fit the new carpet, re-sealing windows and bathtubs, Painting, and moving everything from the garage!. Good times.

Many of you have heard that April showers bring May flowers, but in Flagstaff you have to account for May snow! Yah we thought it would be cooler weather here, but give us a break! It was 100 degrees the day we moved from Tucson to Flagstaff and we thought 60-70 would be cooler, not 30!

May also included some pretty cool events: Jaush got older, We were married for another year (4), had a baby blessing and graduations to attend.

Cannon has loved being able to go ooooutside by himself (no coyotes, bobcats, javelina, etc) to worry about. Carsen enjoys her new found mobility and crawls everywhere. She is so excited to be a big girl and pulls herself up on everything (she is crazy). With Amy's sister Cori living in town we have been able to spend time with them and Cannon loves his cousins. We are looking forward to new adventures and especially for our fun filled summer to come.

On a different note, we will try to be better at updating, but as you can tell we were slammed busy. In fact we just got the computer up last week, thats right - 1 month living out of the garage and suitcases! Again look for the pictures we are posting with this and perhaps between the pictures and this text, you will have an idea of the crazy month we have just had.
