The Duntons...: May 2012

Eric and I spent the beginning of this week packing up our place in Bath so that we could move closer to his new job. For the past month or so he has only been able to work at it on the weekends, since it is kinda far away. After thinking it through we decided to make the move to New Hampshire so that he could follow his dream. This meant giving up my job (which I was happy to do) and making another big move.Eric drove the U-Haul full of all our things with Bostyn as his co-pilot and I followed behind him in the rental car with Salem. I couldn't resist getting a picture of the New Hampshire state line sign.

Truthfully I am super happy to be leaving Maine. In my opinion Maine is a great place to visit and I will love going back and visiting family and friends but it is not the place for me to live. The whole time I was living there I felt like I was camping. Anyone who really knows me knows how I feel about camping. I probably got these views from my dad, whose philosophy on camping was "I paid good money for my bed, why do I want to go somewhere and sleep on the ground"... Every time I talked to my mom I would tell her about feeling like I was camping and she would laugh.... that was until I told her about moving down to New Hampshire and we decided to do a little research.

I grew up in the cities of Orem and Provo, Utah. They really aren't big cities and in my opinion are the perfect sized places. I went online and looked at the 2010 Census results.
Orem, Utah had the population of 88,328
Provo, Utah had the population of 112,488
Bath, Maine had the population of 8,514
Nashua, New Hampshire had the population of 86,494

Anyone else notice the huge drop in the population in Maine? I really was out in the middle of nowhere! I am so happy to be back in "civilization"...

Here are some "before" pictures of our new place (I have tons of decorating to do) and some pictures of the community we live in (Please ignore all the boxes and clutter)...
