We had a beautiful baby girl April 1 2009, Brooklynn Reece Tanner, she weighed 8 lbs 4 oz and was 19 inc long. She lost about 12 oz, but now is weighing over 10 lbs! We blessed her May 3, and then moved from ID to Mesa AZ. We are still in the process of setting up the new apt. We drove down, but stopped in Las Vegas for a night. It was supposed to be a night full of fun and adventure, but by the time we got to the hotel, Brooklynn and I were spent! So, Brandon put us to bed, and then went down to the tables. He only took a few bucks, and said that he would come back if he lost it... needless to say... he was back shortly! We got up the next morning and went down to the Breakfast buffet. This was the first buffet in Las Vegas Brandon had ever been to, and he has been to Vegas a few times! Then by noon we got on the road again headed for Mesa.
Since then we have just been unpacking, and setting up the apt. It is a culture shock here in Mesa. I went to stressing that Brooklynn was to cold, to stressing about her being to hot! I think now I would prefer her to being cold because then you can bundle and cuddle. With her being to hot, there isn't much you can do! We are all getting used to the heat.
We went to church for all three hrs today! I know that doesn't seem like a big thing to most of you, but I cannot even remember the last time we attended all three meetings. It was very nice. I really think we are going to enjoy our ward. Lots of young couples like us here.
We will go to NC on Friday for two weeks! I am so looking forward to that. My brother Rex is getting married. It is going to be so fun to see everyone.
Brandon will start school in June. He drove me down by his school yesterday. It is really pretty. If you didn't know we were in Mesa, you would think we were somewhere exotic! It is so beautiful! Palm trees everywhere, and very manicured. Ever since I first met Brandon he has said he wanted to live somewhere with palm trees. He has gotten his wish.
Here are some pictures of the last bit in our lives.
Brooklynn, Moving from ID to AZ.
