Long Distance Relationship

Well it's official, Tyler has moved to Orlando! I dropped him off at the airport yesterday. He had 4 huge bags - weighing 50, 65, 25, and 30 pounds - that he'll be living out of for the next month. (his golf clubs included of course!) When he got to the airport in Orlando he took a cab to the Toyota Dealership and picked up our brand new car!

Or shall I say ... van ...

Here is the picture of the van, I haven't seen it yet, but it looks like it'll be a good family car, too bad we don't have too big of a family at this point though... Why a minivan? you may ask? Well, Tyler will need to carry quite a bit of equipment and sales materials in the back of the car, so he needs plenty of space. Since the company is all about energy efficiency, they have a "No SUV Policy." Hence, the Toyota Sienna is the car of choice for the company's salesman. For those of you who know Tyler, you know this is an interesting car for the speed demon to be driving, but hey we're not complaining about our new ride!

Now we are officially moved out of our Draper apartment, and I am living with my grandparents up in SLC. They live up in the avenues, and the funny part is when you look up their house on Google Maps, you can even see my Grandpa sitting on the porch with the U flag flying proudly!

But I have to admit, it's not too bad of a setup! I've had dinners made for me the past two nights, I don't have to worry about the stresses of packing anymore, and it's great to spend time with them before I move across the country. I am busy at work during the days, trying to get projects wrapped up in SLC before I join Tyler on March 19th.

It seemed that "March" was so far away, but all of a sudden it's here. Tyler is in Tampa for this week meeting business contacts and actually beginning his new job! The next couple weeks are really going to be tough, but I'm excited for the new life we'll start together in a few weeks.

But for now, it's 16 Days ... and counting...
