Moving to St. Louis

So this summer, Les and I decided that we would give pinnacle one last shot, at having Les as a salesman. We had been thinking about going out for the summer ever sense Les quit sprint and started selling security systems for Nation-Wide and Honeywell. For some reason Les just loves knocking on peoples doors, not to mention the money is pretty good too. So after Les found out that Luke Toone's pinnacle office was going to St. Louis Missouri, and in to Kentucky, where Les served some of his mission, we decided to jump into this adventure. Now it was weird, it seemed like everything fell into place so we could move out here. Les got a killer deal on some new tires for our Ford focus, pinnacle paid us to get out of our apartment lease, but then Dan and Amy moved in, so we got to keep the money! Wahoo! My job at the Dr.'s office said that I could come back in September, and work there again! Awesome!!! And we got to bring our baby, Kiwi!
Before we left we wanted to take a trip to Boise, to visit Les's family. So on Friday we drove up to Boise, and spent a quick 36 hours with Les's family, which included a trip to Red Robin (with Sara and Jackson's family) and trip to the canal, where Les's nephew accidently peed on him.... Lol, and a trip to the pizzeria to get some all you can eat pizza which was delicious!! After that we drove back to bountiful utah for a quick pit stop at my paren'ts house to change the oil, and get some sleep, and then we were off to St. Louis Sunday morning. This was us on the start of our 20 hour journey, Les was so excited to move away from Utah, Lol he doesn't really like Utah that much............

This was us, 10 hours into our 20 hour journey.
Our poor Kiwi, I felt so bad for her, she had little room to stretch out, but she actually did really well and let us know when she had to go to th bathroom, it was pretty awesome! I felt so bad though because Les drove the whole time, I even tried to sneak into the drivers seat at gas stations and he wouldn't let me drive once. I couldn't believe we made it in 20 hours though it was a long drive. In that tiny car without much room! So we left at 10 a.m. on Sunday and arrived in St. Louis Missouri at 8:00 a.m. Monday morning........... Unfortunatly the leasing office didn't open up until 9:00a.m. so we slept for an hour at Luke's, and then we moved into our apartment :-) Yeah we were so happy to finally be here!!!!

  1. I'm glad you guys arrived safe in Missouri. That is a really long trip. I am amazed that you took that in one night. Your dog is so cute by the way. How are things going in your new area? Is Lester out selling everyone? I bet he is:) Hope you guys have a great time out there!
