Snow in the Sunny Southwest!



Looking out over our backyard!
Farmington is located in a high desert at about 5500ft in elevation. So it has seasons. All the locals told us that it NEVER snows here, and if it does, it will all be melted by the end of the day. On Super Bowl Sunday we had a huge storm in and drop about 4 inches of snow! Everyone told us that Farmington has not seen a storm like this in over ten years. We were excited to move here to escape all the snow we got in Logan. Did we bring it with us????

Our professional moving crew!


I have the best nephews in the whole world! My nephews Jeremy, Scott, and Tyler(starting with the 2nd to the left) drove all the way down from Salt Lake City (7 hours) to help us unload our moving truck. They also helped us load it in Utah. Also the guy on the far left is there cousin who lives here! Small world! He and some of his friends were also there helping us move in.




The kids explore the new house!
I decided to start a blog because I read Laura's (my cousin) Christmas card and after visiting everybodys blogs it seemed like a great idea since we just moved to New Mexico and it's a great way to keep in touch with everyone. I am new to blogging, (just like I am now just learning how to text message), so I am not sure what it all entails, but I'll give it a try!


We made it to New Mexico! What an adventure so far! My niece and her husband moved into our old house (now Trevor's house), and they needed to be there before we moved out! So we all lived in boxes together for a week. On January 11th we moved into our new house in Farmington and Annalece and Emma were here together for 1 week while Bryce and Nathan went back to Utah to train the new doctor who bought our business. Next, Annalece and Emma had some major Bryce and Nathan withdrawls and came back up to Utah the next week to be together as a family while we finished closing everything up in Utah. Last weekend, (January 26th), we all moved down together for good and we are all settled in. Bryce has been working his new office for one week and it is all going incredible! We are so excited to be here and feel very thankful for this opportunity and adventure. We are loving New Mexico! The town is so laid back and all the people are very friendly. Nathan has already started school and it is right down the road from our house. Amazingly his teacher is Colten Dye's (Tyler's friend) wife Shay's friend, (hopefully you got all that). She is from Utah and just graduated from SUU!
