Alright, so we arrived in Louisville. It seemed kind of surreal that we actually lived here but it is slowly sinking in :). Fortunately, our good friends from BYU, Brandon (Lance's college roomie) & Brittany Curfew live here and have helped us out so much! We narrowed, with some help, our list of housing options and it quickly was down to one. One that wouldn't be ready for a few weeks! So we camped out at the hotel, swam, relaxed, and waited. Paul and Debra were so thoughtful in offering to drive our Audi to KY for us. They got to KY Friday and because we couldn't move in, we decided to try a few tourist-y stuff:)
We went a found the Louisville, KY LDS temple.
and of course the Costco:)
Then we hit Churchill Downs
We tried out some yummy restaurants..new ones and some oldies but goodies:)
and we did lots of swimming!
We said goodbye to P&D on Sunday and cant wait till we see family again in October.
We found an older house in a darling neighborhood and great location. We were able to get moved in sooner than expected because we offered to do the cleaning. I am still deciding if that was a good idea:) haha. We are all moved in and slowly getting settled. Ben helped a ton!
We have met so many fun new friends here in Louisville and are blown away by how kind and including (can that be used as an adj?) they have all been.
Ben was invited to his darling friend Lakai's 1st birthday party
we have been to bbqs, bonfires, bday parties, ward tailgate parties, etc and feel so good about this move. It is a leap of faith-step into the dark and we REALLY hope it works out this year. I am feeling it this year--Go Cards!
Stay tuned for more pics from KY!
