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.)
August 2000 Move to Roseville, CA "decide" to take some time off from school
August 2001 Move to Provo, UT, Wymount Quad 7
April 2002 Move to Wymount Quad 1 (up to 3 bedrooms but still something like 600 sq ft)
October 2003 Move to Springville, UT (renting a basement but we also got a yard)
August 2004 Move to Williamsburg, VA
(Summer 2005 Brent spends summer in Alexandria, VA)
February 2006 Move to James City County, VA (Yeah, a house)
(Summer 2006 Brent spends summer in Alexandria, VA again)
August 2007 Move to Irvine, CA (Yeah an apartment)
June 2008 Move to new apartment in Irvine, just because

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!

We were in Wymount at the same time (quad 5 from June 2000-Aug 2003), but I think my sister would have been in your ward while you were in quad 1 (John and Lisa Brown ring a bell?). I'm sure we must have seen you while we were there sometime--walking to the office, etc. We loved living in Wymount!

Man, I thought I have moved a lot, but your list is quite impressive!!

I still remember the first time we met you guys - I think the only things you had in your apartment were a phone, your smiles, and two cute little girls (since your moving truck hadn't yet arrived). The funny thing was, if I remember right, Brent was on the phone trying get my number exactly when KC and I rang the doorbell. Good times! -- Jon

Wow, that's amazing! 2000 sounds like it was quite a year! If only this move had been BACK to Williamsburg....

Just realized you beat us by four, not two. WOW!

This post is super-impressive in two ways:

1) Niki you got your husband to blog! (Kirsten & I have been working on Will & Ben for awhile with no luck)

2) We got married in December 2000 and have moved six times and I thought that was a lot, but you've beat us by two. That's a lot of moving boxes!

Good luck with the unpacking!

Audra,
You'll notice about all I could handle was a list of facts.
