The BIG move (long post...explanation and all)

So as most of you know, almost 2 years ago, Dave and I moved to Las Vegas/Henderson. We moved there for Dave to do a Master's program at UNLV. Most of you also know that the same year we moved there, Dave had a horrible health scare. We spent almost 2 weeks in the hospital, over Christmas, and then he was still on IV's and home health for about a month following.
Well after that, the next semester of school was not even in the picture. There was no way that Dave could have went back for Spring still being hooked up to IV's. So we decided he would take that semester off.
Well in the midst of the semester off and lots of thinking and analyzing, Dave decided that he really wasn't even enjoying the program anyway and he knew that wasn't for him. So we stayed in Vegas, and began the process of trying to figure out what was our next step. Dave's mind has been here and there with what to do. Dave has worked for Costco for the last 5 years and they are a great company. Well, we decided that with the way the economy has been and with the fact that Costco really is an awesome company to work for, we decided maybe he should just stay with Costco and start working his way into management.
We really wanted to try and get back to Utah to do this so that in the end we would be close to family. Little did we know how hard it would be to transfer back. Although Costco had not let anyone go with the low economy, they had put on a hiring and transfer freeze. So after about 9 months or so of calls, and faxes, and visits, and prayers (lots of prayers), etc, we finally got the call. And it was to the exact Costco location we wanted to be and at the perfect time-our lease would be up in about 3 weeks.
With that being said, Dave had about 1 week to get up to Utah to start work. I finished out my 2 weeks of work in Vegas. My mom and dad came down to load up our stuff, and Dave and my dad headed back to Utah to load it into a storage unit. My mom stayed with my for my last week of work to help me get the apartment cleaned and to watch London for my while I had to work. I cannot thank my parents enough for all they did. We moved most of our stuff into a storage unit because of the short notice we had to get up to Utah. We moved in with Dave's parents until we can find a place. Funny story behind that, is that Dave's parents were out of the country and came home to new roommates! They were very happy though. Well now that I have told the story, I will share a few pictures of our last days in Vegas.



There are many great friends we made in Henderson, and you will all be missed!! We will especiall miss all of the great people from the South Valley Ranch ward!! London, my mom and I were able to go to dinner with some of our really great friends Riley and Diana and their two boys, Chase and Blake, before we left. London just loves Chase and Blake, we will miss you guys!
