My parents made the LOOOOOONG two day drive here with us. We made it late Monday night and looked at our house. To say it was disappointing would be accurate! We looked at other apartments online that night. But we decided to clean it and fix it up and see. It's so much better now! My parents are amazing. They put in 12 to 14 hour days cleaning, working, moving, doing yard work. (Gobs and gobs of cat hair and dust everywhere.) Basically moved us in in 4 days. The owner also put in a new sink and toilet and fixed things up nice. I'm pretty sure we would have been moving in still next year about the time we move out if it wasn't for my parents. THANK YOU thank you thank you. The day of their flight it was cancelled because of a bomb threat at the airport and it was closed. Crazy. They flew out the next day.
This is us fixing up the yard.
Oklahoma so far:
Today is was hot and sunny, like every day. At around noon it stayed that way, but hailed. They don't say "rain" for the weather when it rains. It's "thunderstorms," because it is and they are intense. But it has been in the mid 90s the last couple days.
The humidity is stifling and it's apparently not bad this year.
People in our ward kept looking confused when they would ask where we lived and I would tell them the roads around us. While I probably got them wrong, I finally also realized it's because all the neighborhoods here, or neighborhood estates, are named...except ours. We live in a little ghetto just north of the main town:) Edmond is a super nice town.
Our house layout is basically exactly like our apartment in Pullman. It makes it feel like home, but the trim is dark brown and for some reason I love that so much more.
One of the first days out exploring we found the cutest museum for kids (it's free, even better!) They have a play store, garden, trains, dress ups, art tables, and a play jail inside. Cody and Macey got in the jail and I asked them what they did. Cody said: "I hit someone." Age appropriate and sweet.
Macey said, "I killed someone." Wha?

I'm so glad things worked out. I think housing situations are the most stressful. You never know what you are going to get until you get there. We sure miss you guys!
glad to hear you are all moved in!
I'm glad you made it and your parents could help settle you in. That is hilarious that Macey said that!!!
Macey cracks me up. I'm glad your parents were there to help you. It's hard when things aren't what you expected. Try and stay cool!
Hey! I just checked into your blog. It's Jonelle (Spencer Morris' wife from USU). Congrats on the upcoming addition! You live in Edmond Oklahoma now? My sister-in-law and her husband live there! You both went to Davis right? It's Spenny's little sister, Michelle. You should look her up! You might even be in the same ward. :) She's married and has a little girl. Her new married name is Michelle Young. Good luck w/ the moving in and clean up--no fun!
You got to watch that little girl of yours!!! lol Glad all went well. I miss you tons.
