I am home and finally getting around to...Hi Kristi! I am home and finally getting around to TToT posts. I was so happy to find yours among them. I know from my many moving experiences, and my daughter selling her home, that the list of things to do connected to a move is endless and exhausting. I am glad you've reached the point of making the move to Provo and beginning this new chapter of your lives, it sounds like such a welcoming community, proving that friendly neighborhoods do still exist! <br /><br />I enjoy your perspective of the scenery after living in the high desert, with all the rain we've experienced this season I am enjoying a bit of unusual greening up too, even if the weeds grow tall faster than we can subdue them. <br /><br />I had to smile at that "car on your bumper" in the rearview mirror on the trip to Utah, that would startle me too! We once encountered a car being towed backward so every time I looked up from the passenger seat it appeared we were about to be hit head on by an oncoming car in our lane, very unsettling!!<br /><br />I am thankful that you've returned to TToT share your thankfuls and show us that even in the midst of change there are always blessings to celebrate. I like that this is the kind of blog hop where we can freely come and go without a sense of obligation and folks are always happy to see us when we return! <br /><br />Wishing you sweet times and new adventures in the months ahead, I pray daily for your home in California to sell and I know that in God's timing, it will.

When I think you, I think Disney Land.<br /><br />Meeting neighbours definitely helps feel more a part of the neighbourhood and I do love that you are very nearly back to where you first met each other. So sweet.<br /><br />Good luck settling in.

I too have been absent but not for such a momentous reason :)<br />Moving out of state, even to a familiar place, is overwhelming. Maybe more so going to a place you once lived. You and John are no longer the people you were when you lived there so no doubt there's still that an echo of "newness" there. <br />How thoughtful and nice that the neighbors stopped by to welcome you to the neighborhood. I wouldn't mind living in a Mayberry my own self lol Small, neighborly...sounds good to me!<br />You made me laugh about the tailgating. That surely must have freaked you out the more tired you got. I'm glad that you and John had an uneventful (hopefully) and safe trip. Driving with such loads is very stressful and it sounds like you had a rather long trip.<br />The pictures are great. The view from you house incredible! I've always been an ocean gal but wow. Just magnificent to look out at that everyday. <br />I wish you and John health and happiness in your new home. It's always exciting when there's opportunity to begin a new chapter in life :)GirlieOnTheEdgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226101556766074271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-74589573757544602312017-08-13T18:12:57.934-06:002017-08-13T18:12:57.934-06:00I was just wondering if you had made the move.

Good to 'see' you! Semi-moved in.
Ha...Hey! Good to 'see' you! Semi-moved in. <br />Have you walked over to visit Orel and Theresa Rees yet?<br />What a strange real world-fictional world-real world echo I get when I look at these photos! (I've been to Salt Lake City a couple of times, never to Provo.)<br />Of course, with your help, I feel I know the hills of Provo far better than I should, spending as much time as I did, going up and down the streets (on google street view). while completing 'Blogdominion'.<br />Good that you have a place to get settled in. It's a fact that a 'watched house' will take longer to sell than one where the seller is comfortable in their new home.<br />(My professional opinion, based on your photos, your house (back in CA) is what we call 'an easy show'. This means the strong points are clear and there are no distractions (usually thats in the form of old paint on the walls or carpet on the floor). <br />Clark Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606902779389446947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-36396306049111806192017-08-13T17:00:50.164-06:002017-08-13T17:00:50.164-06:00We aren't in the Tree Streets, but close!We aren't in the Tree Streets, but close!
