So we returned from Europe on a Saturday afternoon and exactly one week later we all left for Utah. (we are in Utah until the end of July, when we will head out to California) It took a few days to completely recover from jet lag, and we still had sooo much to do. Packing takes FOREVER, especially with a toddler who likes to throw things like your keys into boxes. We literally spent 3 hours one day looking for our car keys that ended up in a box along with picture frames and knickknacks. Along with all the packing, we also wanted to be able to say our goodbyes to all of our good friends that we made in Ann Arbor.
It sucks that I had to leave after I finally felt that I had a great group of girls to hang out with. Thankfully I didn't have to say goodbye to everyone because I get to see some of them in Utah this summer. I will always be grateful to these girls for making my transition to motherhood easier and helping me survive the horrible Michigan winters and bonded with me while all of our husbands were gone! Ann Arbor is where I became a mom...so it will always hold a special place in my heart. I will miss it...but not too much when I am sitting in sunny California :)

But back to the move. My parents graciously came to help out. I probably would have died without their help. My mom watched Madeleine and cleaned my entire apartment! They even took me to the airport at the crack of dawn on Saturday (so Brody could sleep in before he left on his drive across the country). They are the best! We packed up our stuff in PODlike boxes and they are already shipped and sitting in storage in California!

And I'll finish the post with this picture of Madeleine eating a pickle at Brody's favorite restaurant in Ann Arbor, Zingerman's Deli. He will definitely miss this place.
