Moving Day for Turreal and Kim.....Orem to Tooele, Utah

Several weeks ago Kim and Turreal call, Kim has been offered a teaching (intern) position in a Junior High School in Tooele, Utah. Just about an hour to the North and West of Orem where they have been for the past 3 years. After weighing all of the pros and cons...the position was excepted and the move was on. Mark and I left Johnstown on Thursday the 21st and headed West. We arrive to in Orem late Thursday afternoon (traveling just isn't speed mode that it use to be...I have to stop and just get out) We hug and kiss everyone and off in the packing mode we go. We know that we have to have the trailer ready to be loaded by 8 am on Friday morning so that Matt (Turreal and Kim's friend) can bring his truck over to pull this BIG HUGE 27' snowmobile trailer. Back up at 5:30 the next morning and packing some more.
Ok so I have to stop at this point and tell the story of the truck. Matt brings his F150 over, we back him up and Mark goes to place the trailer on the hitch....ummmm the truck is sinking fast and when it won't go any further we still can't get the pin out to pull the trailer jack up. Katie, Matt's wife comes around the corner on foot with the boys and after some conversation...Katie and myself walk back around the corner to thier house to see what the tow limit is to their Armada...
Now the F150 has a towing limit of 5000 lbs...the Armada, well would you believe it, 10,000 lbs. So we pull the truck away and back the Armada up..unfortunetly the Armada sat to low and still we couldn't pull the jack out. On the horn to get the BIG F350 to pull the trailer.
This is house that Turreal and Kim lived in Orem...basement apartment:

So back to the story...we are completely loaded and we are on to next part of the journey and that is getting everything uloaded (so that Matt can take back the trailer and the truck) and try to get some things put away before Kim gets home from her third day of teaching. I thought it would be nice to have the kitchen put away for her..maybe not everything where she might want it, but heck you can switch it around as you go...but because Kim loves to cook and has many gadgets finding room in the kitchen proved to be my challenge...lets put it this way, I didn't succeed very well.

But after all of the loading, unloading here are a few more pics of their new home.
It sits right behind the Wal-mart in Tooele and has tons of little shops right there on property to the North or South...this place couldn't have located any more perfect for them. Beside a nice 3 bedroom, 2 bath apartment, they have covered parking...play ground, club house, work out room, and pool. Should be a perfect place for the next leg of their journey......







After some clean up in the old apartment on Saturday..Mark and I headed over to watch the Orem Owlz play and some fireworks. Turreal worked that night and so we were able to watch, chat with some of his friends and watch some fireworks. Matt and Katie let Turreal, Mark and myself stay at their house Saturday night and from there we loaded up and headed home. Thanks Matt and Katie for your house, the cat, the blow up air mattress (did I say 'air'?) and the music that played all night long. Sleep overs are so much fun and the memories last forever......
