Last Couple Weeks of March

March has been both a very long month and a pretty difficult one. Stephen has been in Florida for 3 weeks now and it is horrible being apart. the only thing that makes it somewhat ok is knowing that he is doing really well there and enjoying his semester. He was able to work in an obgyn clinic for two weeks and he learned a lot and really enjoyed it. Besides the clinic work he has also been in classes a lot. He is living with a really nice couple close to campus and couldn't have lucked out more with his living situation. His first night there his landlady cooked him a 5 course dinner and has been so generous and kind to him. Another night Jake and Som were there on vacation and took him to dinner. He only has 3 more weeks there and I will be so happy to have him home just in time for our second anniversary!
With it being my last couple weeks in Utah I have made it a priority to visit a lot of my friends to say my goodbyes. It was especially fun seeing most of them at my baby shower and actually having a little bit of time to visit with them. One of my best friends Zandra is moving the same day as me so it was a lot of fun going to her going away party and seeing some people one last time that I wouldn't have otherwise. One of the best nights I've had the last couple weeks was at the Pretty Little Liars finale party one of friends puts on every season. The show ended really poorly but it was way fun to dress up and make guesses for the next season. The best were all the scary dolls all around the room watching it with us. 
As far as packing has gone I gave myself 3 full weeks and packed a little bit every day. It worked out perfectly and there was only one disaster getting everything ready to go. The disaster was when I decided to clean out Stephen's 72 hour kit...and found it full of weevil larva! As soon as we opened the bag it smelled as if there was a dead animal in it but it wasn't until we opened the side pockets and got to the bottom of the bag that we noticed all of the weevils. A few of them sprayed out and got on my pants and I swear in my hair. It was a horrible adventure and I will just say about 90% of that 72 hour kit ended up right in the trash. We were able to salvage some of it though. Loading the moving truck went really smoothly. With the help of some ward members it only took an hour and a half to get it all loaded and ready to go. My dad left a couple days later and is going to meet my mom and I in Atlanta on the 31st. It is officially happening now. Moving to Atlanta in two days!
