Landon and Bill flew to Colorado Springs to help Ashley move here to Utah and live with us for awhile. We will try to give her some family support during this difficult time in her life. When things get tough, it is always wonderful to have your family. She got a nursing job in the ER at the same hospital were I work. It will be great to go to lunch together. The best part is she is only 10 minutes to work, this is the closest her job has ever been for her. It will be fun to have her with us.

They arrived on Friday Sept 27, 2012 to the Denver airport.  Ashley picked them up and they drove to Monument and loaded all of Ashley's things into this big truck.  They worked hard all day.  Then they left early Saturday morning Sept 28th and drove to our home in Ogden Utah.  They made great time and pulled in around 4p.m.

We have more than enough cars at our house now.  Six cars and only 4 drivers.  I am glad we have enough space for parking.

Bill was a great sport and drove the U-haul the full 8-10 hours, thank heavens it had cruise control.

Landon is "ONE AMAZING MAN" before he left to get Ash he had maybe received 4-5 hours of sleep in 3 days.  Then he did much of the heavy moving since Bill has bad hips right now.  He did this work and not once did he complain.  He is not happy that Ash is getting a divorce but is anxious to spend some quality time with his sister and help her get through this difficult time in her life.

Mom called some men in the ward to come and help Ashley's things into the house.  We had 5-6 guys here who were such great help.  I did not get a picture of them.  Some neighbors came down and just helped.  There small children did also and helped with small things.  The kids were well behaved and happy to serve us today.

Chiquita was funny, she knows Ash well and greeted her and then looked around as if she was looking for Jessie too.  We all noticed it, Chiquita loves Jessie because he has always been nice to her.  She has always known that Ash and Jess are always together. Ashley said "Chiquita is looking for Jessie"

The kids were determined to get everything done on Saturday night, they stayed up late.  Landon was a trooper to stay up with Ash and help set up her computer and electronic stuff and set up her bed.

Ash and Landon have really enjoyed there time together. One thing about it, I do not have Lazy kids.

This is some of Ashley's stuff to organize in the bathroom.

Ashley in her room (for now) sunday morning September 29th.

It took 4 strong guys to move Ashley Computer desk into the library room with her large chair.  Landon set up her computer and she organized everything she needs.  She has a wonder MAC computer so I am excited to try it.  That is what I want for my next computer.
