The Big Move : The Tucson Travelers Leave Tucson

Well folks, our life just took another crazy turn in a fun and exciting direction. For those that don't know, Shane and I left Lowe's in 2012 to take an extended vacation (why I started my blog in the first place) and then pursue new careers. Shane got a job working as a part-time USPS carrier and we tried really hard to make it work for about a year but he was getting 8-16 hours a week and a full time position was not looking hopeful any time soon.  In 2014, we made a lot of changes to our life to help create a better future for ourselves. Shane made the choice to go back to Lowe's and take the fast track back into management. After several applications for various positions around the United States, Shane got an interview with a store in Utah! Long story short, he killed the interview and within 2 1/2 weeks we were saying goodbye to Tucson and Hello to Orem!

This crazy move sparked my adventurous side and I am so excited to explore my new home. My goal is to try and share a checklist of destinations and provide my experiences in doing so. I am currently unemployed so this was easy to start, but I will be getting a job soon. Our adventures will be spread out, but I will make a point to share them on here! Hope my experiences come in helpful to someone! Stay Tuned for fun updates and (checks) off my checklist!

For now.. Here is a photo story of my life the last few weeks...

One of my new favorite websites/apps RoadTrippers.com

Our journey we took once with a U-Haul towing my car, and again with Shane's truck...

A farewell dinner with the family at our favorite Mexican restaurant. 

Shane's best friends helped us load the U-haul all day!! They are amazing

On the road. Oh did I mention we had two cats to travel with as well.. The first trip was a long 13+ hours.

Our first time checking out Shane's new store. Felt like it was worthy of a snapshot!

Weekend two... The drive back up in Shane's truck. I had my camera so I was able to take a few pictures from the road!

We weaved in and out of storms all the way up Arizona. On the bright side storms bring rainbows!

We stayed the night in Page to break up the trip a little bit. View from our hotel.

Leaving Page

Welcome to Utah!

Loving the colors

I thought this looked like a fish

changing scenery

What we look like on a road trip!

We're here! We arrived with our last load of stuff on Shane's 30th birthday! Figured we would take a drive down to the lake and found a beach. Not sure if I am a fan of getting in this water but it sure looks pretty! 

Checking my first task off my list! I really wanted to ride the Front Runner so we took it into Salt Lake to pick up my car from the airport! The front runner was big, clean and a fun ride, but the green line (the one we had to transfer on to go east/west to the airport) was gross and smelly. I will try to avoid that one..
