After a LONG 35 hours in the car, we finally made it to our destination. It was so cool driving over the awesome bridge over the Mississippi River and entering our new home for 4 years. We are excited to be here. We got to our apartment and our car said the outside temp was 100 degrees. We talked to the manager who said that with humidity the heat index was 112 degrees. My dad was dying and refused to move in this heat. We waited till about 8:00p.m. and it was still probably 98 degrees. We had a lot of help which was so nice. There were probably about 15 or more guys from the Elders Quorum there to help. They were all dripping with sweat as they brought things in, so I just had to get some pictures.
You will be getting more complete pictures of our apartment later (after everything is hung and decorated). You will see in these pictures my new favorite thing... our very own washer and dryer! Thanks Mom and Dad (our graduation present)!!
