Danna is over nine months pregnant, past her due date...and NOTHING! So I've decided to be patient. She will come when she comes. But man,...

Moving to Utah

We got back from Washington Sunday night. We had Monday and Tuesday to pack and clean. We were moving to Utah on Wednesday. Basically, it was total madness. But we pulled it off. The drama didn't begin until Tuesday night. I called Budget to see if we could get our truck that night, instead of Wednesday at 8am. They then told me, well you...
