RELOCATION!!

Wow, I can't believe where life has gone, I have officially moved to Connecticut to get my nurse practitioner degree at Yale University! This explains lack of recent posts...extreme business with getting ready to go plus soak up as much of my Utah friends as I could muster! But you'll be happy to hear that I have a goal to update at least once a week!

To get to Connecticut, my sister Sara, Mom, best friend Nicki and fish - Apollo - went on an intense cross country trip. We drove a truck which I lovingly named Phillipe and Millie (my car) through 11 states which are:

1. Utah!
Sara with Phillipe and our entertainment, Harry Potter!

2. Wyoming!
Boring picture, but Wyoming is a boring state! In the Walmart parking lot trying to stay out of the sun.



3. Nebraska!
We slept in this charming town called Sidney. My favorite part was passing a town called Friend.




4. Iowa!
we accidentally took a video instead of a picture...




5. Illinois!
not too much exciting happened here




6. Indiana!
Are you getting the gist yet that not too much happened on the first part of our trip?


7. Ohio!
Finally excitement! We stopped in Kirtland to visit some of the church history sites. The Kirtland temple was beautiful.


8. Pennsylvania!
We weren't here for too long...


9. New York!
We did several things in New York, we stopped at Niagra falls, Apollo got so excited, he tried to join his fish friends, but I told him he didn't want to go down the waterfall and he calmed down. We also went through Palmyra. On the same day that we went to the Kirtland Temple, we got to go to the Palmyra Temple! It was a neat experience. We saw most of the sites in Palmyra, the missionaries at the Hill Cumorah (huh, apparently I have no idea how to spell that...is that right?) babysat Apollo for me while we saw the sites. I think they were amused.







10. Massachusetts!
Turns out we didn't get a picture in Massachusetts.

11. Connecticut!
yeah! Apollo made it back into his bowel!




I'm excited to see what new adventures await me here in the east! Coming up next, why Connecticut has turned Apollo blue again with some red splashed in...
