40 hours and 2300 miles later...

Friday, July 3rd we began our journey to Florida! Start: Provo, Utah

Our last picture before we hit the road!

We drove through Wyoming,

Colorado, where the rain hit and didn't stop until we arrived in Florida,
found a road named after us :), and drove through Nebraska,

then made it to Kansas where we spent the night in Junction City.

We were up the next morning and on our way to Missouri and saw the Arch in St. Louis

After that we drove through Illinios, Kentucky and then Tennessee, which I thought was beautiful and I loved their accents!

After Tennessee came Georgia and their peaches!

And then finally.....FLORIDA!!!!!!! Finish: We actually arrived in Tampa around 8pm Sunday night. Jeff knows the mission president in Tampa, Pres Colton, and they were nice enough to let us stay with them for the night! We were exhausted and very ready to be done driving. We were thankful though that we were able to arrive safely in Florida and had no problems along the way. The drive really wasn't all that bad except for rain, and the last day I was very antsy and ready to be out of that truck! Jeff was amazing though and drove the whole time...he is a machine! :)

Monday we began the apartment search. We had been looking online before we moved and had two places picked out that we wanted to see and hopefully like one of the them. We immediately fell in love with the second apartments we looked at. They are brand new and just built in February. They are 100% smoke free and considered a "green" community. We were excited that we found ones we liked and we're thinking we could just move in haha but it was much more complicated. We had to do background checks, credit checks, set-up utilities and all this stuff but finally Tuesday afternoon we were able to move in. I was just praying that we would be able to because Jeff had to go to work on Wednesday and we wanted to get somewhat settled in before Wednesday. It all worked out and I was able to work on unpacking while he went to work. The website for the apartments is http://www.circleatcrosstown.com if you want to check them out but here are just a few pics off the website.

This is the pool and there is a gym and the front office in the buildingThis is off the website but this is the lay-out of our kitchen. I love it!


We got a two bedroom apartment so if you are ever in Tampa and need a place to stay let us know! We are pretty much all settled in now and I love our new little apartment! :)
