On August 15, we moved from Wausau to Minnesota with all our possessions in a U-haul truck. When we arrived at the house we had arranged to rent, we found it in disgusting condition and completely unliveable. Enough said about that. So we handed over the keys and simply walked away, leaving us homeless. Luckily, Aunt MaryAnn and Uncle Jim are nearby and were willing to put us up for a few days... weeks... months until we found a new place. So we unloaded our stuff into a storage unit, tried to undo our mail forwarding and all that moving stuff, and moved in with the Clarks with two suitcases. All of this, of course, taking place as I am 39 weeks pregnant.
A few days later Preston started law school, commuting from Plymouth to St. Paul each day and trying to keep up. We spent some time looking for apartments when he had some free time and found one we liked, but it was not available until September. So we signed anyway and settled in for another couple weeks of suitcase living.
Then...this girl finally decided to show up.
Thankfully, everything went smoothly with that and after one small scare the day after we left the hospital, things have gone just fine. You can see more pictures of the munchkin here:
When Lauren was six days old we finally moved into our apartment and thanks to the Elders' Quorum, Mom, Dad and Joanna, the Clarks and the local Relief Society, we are finally feeling somewhat settled.
Hopefully, the excitement is over for a while...

Wow, Lauren sure is blond.
She is also so darn cute!
This post made me laugh. Not in a mean way about all the hard things you had to go through (that stinks!) ---but just because I remember it wasn't that long ago you wrote a post stating that you didn't update much cause life was boring---with no moves, no babies etc. How fast life changes, huh?! :)
