Our Move to Maryland

We moved to Maryland!

Having one last playdate with his best friend, Jack

My friend made me this yummy and beautiful pie to say goodbye

Saying goodbye to our good friends, the McFarlanes

Playing in the Uhaul

Grandpa came to help!

Ryan and Kyle came too and everyone helped a ton!

They did a great job and did the most important thing, fit all of our stuff in the truck.

Some of Trevor's best memories, serving with his dad in the Church

Saying goodbye to Trevor's parents and Kalie.

It was so hard to say goodbye and I was still crying 10 miles out of Ridgecrest

We stopped halfway on our trip and stayed with Tyler and Chandra in Texas

Chandra took me to Magnolia!

 We had so much fun together and I'm really glad we went.

We got to eat at Magnolia Table! 

The food was amazing and totally lived up to the hype. I'm glad I went with Chandra because she really appreciated the experience as much as I did.

With our purchases! It was 20% off everything.

The yummy cupcakes we brought home

We got ice cream too, it was a really hot day and a great way to end it

Reagan snuggling with Uncle Trevor

The kids loved playing with their cousins

We got to go to church with them!

Chandra and I made Sally's Baking Challenge together, a vertical cake

It was a little tricky

But turned out great!

We took the kids to the park

Trevor had to really persuade Kinley to go on the swings

She didn't like them too much

Eating at In N Out one last time before heading out East

Trevor helping Tyler install a peephole

Our Uhaul parked outside Tyler and Chandra's house

They took us to Pirate's Cove! It was so much fun. 

We had a great time staying with Tyler and Chandra. It was such a nice break from driving and so fun to see their beautiful home and spend time with them.

Had a little mishap with the truck, good thing we got the insurance!

Trevor and I spent our anniversary driving from Tennessee to Virginia.

Twelve years sure has gone by fast!

Waiting to sign the papers at settlement

Eating Taco Bell on our front porch right after buying the house

Here is our new house!

And Trevor bought a truck to drive to work. 

We thought about keeping the Uhaul but decided against it.

At our ward party at Golden Beach on the Patuxent River

The beach is a little different from the ones in California but the kids had just as much fun

We met tons of people in our new ward and had a great time

The kids loved it

We got a visitor just a few days after we moved in! Trevor's previous boss and our former bishop, Ephraim Washburn, came to visit us! It was so nice to see him and show him around our new place.

Kinley had her birthday! She turned four.

She opened her Slimygoop on her birthday eve

This is the mermaid cake I made for her. 

She originally wanted a strawberry, rainbow, mermaid cake, but I talked her into this one

Baby deer in our front yard! 

We have seen so many deer around our house

Trevor mowed the lawn. It took 2 hours and 2 tanks of gas.

Kinley's birthday present from Grandma and Grandpa!

And now we are getting settled in to our new place. Maryland is definitely very different but so far we like it and everyone has been really nice. We miss everyone in Ridgecrest but are enjoying the cooler weather here!
