Hello Iowa!

We are here and we love it! It's been a crazy couple of weeks and it has gone by really fast. Two Fridays ago, we packed up a U-haul and took it down to Idaho Falls where they loaded everything into a trailer to be taken to Iowa. Jason and my dad drove the car out last week and got here about the same time as all of our stuff. They ended up having to do most of the loading and unloading on both ends - they're so amazing! Both my parents came to help us get out of Rexburg (which Jason and I have a new name for, but this is a positive post, right?). Addie and I stayed a few days with the rest of the Dexters and then we flew into Chicago and drove the rest of the way. We've only been here a few days, but we really like it and we're very happy. Even though Iowa City is a small town, it's a lot bigger than Rexburg and we've got all the things we didn't have there (although we don't have any money to enjoy them). Jason is currently looking for a job and Addie and I are trying to put our apartment together and both are looking promising. Also very exciting is that since we've actually been able to have a routine and we've been in the same place for more than a couple days, Addie has been sleeping through the night and just showing once again what a wonderful baby she is (this might have something to do with why we're so happy).
