Well, we made it to St. Louis, wel actually we live in a suburb called Kirkwood. I'm currently "borrowing" the internet from some unsuspecting neighbor who has an unsecured wireless network...it's WAY slow though, sorry no pictures this post.
Everything is going great! We like the new place. It's a 3 BR townhouse that is pretty nice. It is tax-subsidized housing, so it's a great price to rent.
They call this place the "Mormon ghetto" because there is a cluster of other Mormon families (about 5?) who are all medical residents that live here also. Every one else is a minority, so technically WE are the minorities! But all our neighbors are very nice and we feel safe!
We left on Sat morning with Grandma McEwan helping (thank goodness!). I drove the 24' truck and Lea and Mom followed. Mazy did great and slept most of the way.
We are now just getting everything unpacked and organized, a tremendous task that will take along time. We bought a couch and loveseat, however it will take 2 weeks to get it. I also got bunny ears and a digital converter box - IT'S GREAT! We get like 15 over the air channels and they are crystal clear - and that is just with $8 cheapo bunny ears! I guess living in the big city has some perks.
Well, one more day until we take the train to bloomington and get picked up to go home and then it's off to graduation. I have my speech all ready! We are looking forward to seeing lots of family soon!
2014...ready go.

I like the blog lay-out. Very cute. I wanted to get some pics/videos from the trip since I'm a dork and forgot my flash drive, but maybe if you're going to put them up on the blog I can get them from there. So just let me know what's easy.
