Our journey to Arizona started off with a sad goodbye to some of my very good friends. They are truly the greatest and made sure we were well stocked with goodies for our long trip. I say this a lot, but I have the greatest friends that take such good care of us. I owe you guys big time and I just want to give a big thank you for the great presents. We packed up every car to the max, because our moving truck was too little. We even had to leave a few things, but I couldn't believe how much stuff we fit in our little space. We tried to drive as long as we could along the way and Lexi's DVD player was heaven sent. I think she watched every one of her baby Einsteins a few times, but whatever kept her happy we were willing to give her. Lexi's favorite thing a long the way was taking a nice hot bath wherever we stopped. We got to Arizona and since things didn't work out with our apartment Cody and I moved everything into our new place ourselves. It was NOT fun!! It was quite the experience but we made it and we are finally settled. Our new place has a pool, playground, and a really nice workout facility. Everything we need, including a Wal-Mart and a mall within a half a mile. So far we love it and the weather has been wonderful. I miss my friends back in Indy though, but I hope this will be a good new start for us.
Saying goodbye to some of my very best friends!! 
Thanks for the memories Manchestor

We didn't have two pack and plays, so Trey slept in the drawer at the hotels we stayed at. I know it seems mean but he slept so good.
Our new home for the next few months until we find a house
Getting settled, but the boxes are never ending
Trey's new favorite pose. He loves to do it in his car seat too.

I just can't get enough of my little guy.

You have been up late!I love the pics. We miss you tons. Tray is so dang cute. I love it. Your apartment looks so nice. NO MORE MANCHESTER! Do you love it?
Yea, an update! Your apartment looks way nice! Maybe house hunting can wait? I can't believe how big Trey is! What a cutie pie. I'm glad that you guys are getting settled and that you made it safely.
I am so excited to see you updated your blog. Do you have a new number??
I didn't realize you guys were moving and he graduated too! I've been out of the blogging world for 2 months so I've missed alot. Where in AZ do you live? I really like your apartment. Congrats on being Mrs. Dr.!!
Ash- Your place looks nice:) We are glad you made it and are in one piece. The picture of Trey reminded me so much of Ty. He use to always sleep in that position and ride in his car-seat that way too. You alway's new when he was getting tire because he would do that. He is getting so big and sooooo cute :) Brooke
I'm glad you are settled, but you should have called me! I have a big strong husband who I LOVE volunteering to help people move. :) give me a call sometime, and maybe we can take the kids to a park or something. Oh...and I am now an official member of the Phoenix Zoo, and can get one guest in for free. So, if you ever want to go......
I love the picture of Trey in the tub--way too cute. Don't feel bad about the drawer... Aaron's little sister slept in a drawer for a while because they didn't have a crib for her. I don't know all the details, but they joke about it a lot. You do what you can, and hey, he's safe and comfortable, so no worries. Keep us posted!
it is so good to see an update. we miss you and are so glad things are going well. we are excited to hear how house hunting and all goes. keep us updated and let us know when we can come visit.
Glad to hear things went well. Your new place looks nice!
Glad to see new pictures! Looking at those makes me miss you even more. Your apartment looks great how fun for you guys! I love the picture with Tray in the drawer-too funny!
Dear Sister Neilson-

Ash I am so glad that you will be in driving distance and it was so much fun having you stay with us this week. We love you and we wil have to plan a trip down to visit you at your new apartment (it looks really nice).
Ugghh! I LOVE your new kitchen. I love the wood! Your alot closer to me now, but still far away. One day we need to make a trip out to see you. That' hilarious that Trey slept in a drawer! Too funny!
It was fun catching up on your last few weeks. Your new place is definately an improvment from Manchester! We miss you like crazy. Harley asks for Lexi more often than not! Loved the pictrues!
