Back to Utah we come!



So after spending a few months in Arkansas things were not going quite how we planned. So we decided to make the trek back to Utah. Well since we didn't have a car we had to pack our lives into 4 suitcases weighing under 50 pounds each, 2 carry ons which were busting at the seems, and 2 personal items that were also totally full.
So anyone that knows me knows that we started packing a week early. Which turned out to be a good thing, it only took 4 days to weigh the suitcases to rearrange them 20 times to work. The best part is we didn't have a scale, we only had our wii fit and of coarse Stephen didn't want to weigh himself, so knowing that I was down 20 pounds I was excited to weigh myself!!!! Untill I had to hold 50 pound bags multiple times to make sure everything worked. When we got to the airport they didn't even weigh our luggage! They did have to search one of our bags and we stayed around to watch beacasue we knew it would be funny. As she opened the bag and lifted a pillow, a electic skillet, to find the computer that she then swabed, and had to put everything back in. It was so funny to see the look on her face..... On to the carry on's 1 was filled with clothes. You cant even believe how much we got into the bag. After stuffing it as full as possible Stephen jumped on the bag so we could smash it down enough to zip it shut. The other was full of electronics... wii, wii fit board, xbox, all the plugs, games, mario kart steering wheels, and movies. We didnt even think that while going through security it would be a good idea to pull them out of the bag and place them in bins......So of coarse they have to check our luggage and the security guard is trying not to laugh as Stephen and I are almost in tears from laughing so hard!
So needless to say we are happy to be home!
