So, I live in Utah now...

I can't get my head around it. I live in Utah. It's just weird. And even though I love Utah and wanted to move back to the mountains - moving is not fun. I think no matter what - the first few months after moving to a new place - it's hard. You feel isolated and out of place. You've lost your normal routine let alone your friends. And so you just have to adjust. For weeks I have been planning on my first Sunday here taking an afternoon drive up my favorite canyon - it was the first thing on my what to get do once I get to Utah list. So we did and I had a headache and there were tons of people up there and my kids were complaining. It wasn't quite the dreamy experience I had anticipated.

But on a high note - number 4 on the list was to go over to Megh & Brett's and get Brett to cook dinner for us. So we did and it was SOOOOOOOOOO good. I just couldn't get enough of Brett's cooking. That guy has a gift - in fact he's got many. He makes music, paints, designs and creates really good websites, he's really smart - and he cooks like he's some famous chef. And he makes everything up. It's like he was born with an understanding of spices and food. I'm hoping I get to repeat my number 4 a lot before they move(crossing my fingers that they don't).

On the road again...

I won't be able to blog for a while since the move to Utah has begun. Mike, Elijah, and Grandpa Knorpp are currently seeing the country as they drive our minivan and a penske truck up to Utah. I am staying with my sister Chelsea until tomorrow when I'll board a plane with Andrew and little Peter to meet everyone out west. I'm nervous about the trip but glad to be going. Until then...

Dog tired.

This is pretty much how we've all been feeling these past few days. Thankfully though Tyan offered to let us stay with her for a few days until we leave so we didn't have to stay in a house with no furniture and sleep on air mattresses on the floor. She's saved our hides and we owe her big time.

Jealous?

This is our tenth time moving in our eight years of marriage...you'd think we'd have it down to a science by now...
