Melissa and Marc: More Graduation and The Move!

We got a few more graduation pictures from Marc's parents. I had to put them up because we didn't take that many pictures anyway! There is also one of all of us in Jackson Hole!

I am so proud of Marc! He really worked hard! He didn't want to walk at graduation at all and I am sure the blazing heat didn't help, but it gave us all a reason to celebrate!

A few days after graduation we really hit the packing and cleaning! I didn't take too many pictures, mostly because it was pretty stressful. The night before we left to get the truck and pack up to leave, we went to Bajio for one last farewell meal. Not such a good choice! I am pretty sure I got some type of food poisoning! I was up sick most of the night. To top it off, I had bad allergies with big puffy eyes! We woke up and ran down to Idaho falls to get our moving truck and car dolly. I am glad that as sick as I was, I was with Marc. We had to go to Idaho Falls since all the truck rental places in Rexburg were out! It was pretty easy to find, but when we got out of the car Marc realized that he left his wallet on the counter at home! We had to call our apartment manager to get his driver's license number off our paperwork. Then they had to run a credit card instead of using the number he gave them, so we used mine! I don't know how he would have been able to get it if I weren't there! It's not like he could just run home and get it, that would have taken another hour and a half! We finally got the truck and headed home. There were 3 people there to help us load when we got home! It only took 30 minutes to load! Talk about awesome! We had a few straggling things that we needed to put in the truck at the end, but we got it all done and the apartment clean with just a few minutes to spare! We went and said some last goodbyes to friends, then hit the road around 5pm.

Here we are driving into Utah! Sorry it's blurry! We had to document our departure from Idaho!

We had loaded all our furniture to take to Salt Lake. We didn't want to store it while we are here so we sold it to my cousin who is getting married in October! We got in around 9 and had to hustle to get their stuff out and loaded in the pickup so they could take it to their storage unit. Then we unstacked all our boxes, we were only taking up about a 5x5 square in out 16 foot truck! We decided that night that instead of forcing ourselves to wake up we would sleep until we were ready to get up. We woke up around 9 or 9:30 and after quick showers and a trip to the gas station we were on the road again around 10am! We passed the new Oqurriah Mountain Temple in Salt Lake. I took this picture from the freeway.

This is a picture from the news story released in June when the Temple was struck by lighting! We would kind of see from the road that it hadn't been fixed yet.

We drove all day long and took some pretty pictures. Here are a few from the trip. There is one that looks like we were taking a picture of the dead bug on the windshield, we were actually taking a picture of the bug that wrapped around the antenna when we hit it!
