Brent 1.0

We've moved, again!  That's right everyone, we have moved and to commemorate our move, I've decided to do my first post.  First, I want to thank everyone who has ever helped us move, because quite frankly, we have moved a lot and so if you know us you have probably helped us move, or watched our kids while we packed at some point.  So thanks.  I imagine Niki will send out our new address, or you can e-mail her and she will forward it to you.

Dougal Family Moves since 2000

April 2000 Move to Boise, ID and get married (living in Grandma's basement)

July 2000  Move to Heber City, UT (living in Niki's sister's basement), almost rent a place in Provo (only there for two weeks but it was a real move because everything we owned was in the back in Niki's truck.)

10 moves, plus two little bumps in the summer, 4 states,  different metro areas, and all in only 8 years, not bad if I do say so myself!  Where are we going next year?  Who knows!

Company

I've often heard people talk about their in-laws with frustration, sometimes even dislike.  Brent proposed to me, and I said yes, before ever meeting his family.  So I feel very blessed to be able to say that yes, I absolutely adore them. They came to celebrate Tyler's first birthday with us.  We took them to the beach, lego land, and just tried to soak in some time together.

Moving...

Ever try packing up a house with four little ones under foot?  You know the routine.  I put four things into a box; they take three things out.  I'm seriously out numbered here!!  Three more days, three more days, just three more days.... three...more......days.........
