Phoenix

We made our trip across the country and we are safe and sound in Sacramento. Brianna was an angel and traveled really well. This first leg of the trip was 26 hours straight to Phoenix. Chad was great and drove most of the night, and most of the trip! That first leg of the trip Brianna didn't cry or fuss at all! What a blessing. We then spent several days in Phoenix visiting with Chad's extended family. He has his maternal grandparents there and several aunts, uncles and cousins. Bogey also came with us and he was great in the car. He is now living with Chad's grandparents and we hope he's attaching himself to them and that he's less anxious about us being gone!



We had a lot of fun visiting with everyone. We spent a good amount of time at Chad's cousin Jared's house with his wife, Sylvia, and their two daughters, Natalie and Kirsten. Brianna played a lot with Natalie who is 5 months older than Bri. We also spent some time visiting with the Kaufman's. We sure enjoyed seeing everyone!



We left for Sacramento on Wednesday morning and drove for 12 hours! We spent all weekend house hunting and finally got one this morning. We'll head over to sign the rental agreement this afternoon! We are staying with the sweetest lady, Dorothy. She is the mother of some of our friends in Memphis and she has been more than kind. We are staying in our own little "suite" in the house and it has been wonderful! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We feel truly blessed. We were having a difficult time finding a decent home in a decent neighborhood for an affordable price. It's simple to find a big dump or a really nice home that's way too expensive, but the in between stuff is rare here. We found a home that is only 1 mile from Chad's office!!! Yeah! It also is in a good neighborhood and close to almost any store you can imagine! We're looking forward to moving in the next few days and settling in!
