Stephen and Claudia started looking around for a house right after Stephen got a job with the City of Tucson. They found an incredible house that is a 7 minute walk from out house. It has tons of upgrades, and the previous owners were mysteriously never around very much, so it is in great shape. They put an offer on the house the day they went to see it, and it got accepted the next day! After almost a year of delay, things moved really fast.
On moving day, Aaron and Stephen met at the storage unit with some volunteers from Elders Quorum. They moved everything over pretty quick, but Aaron was tragically wounded in the process. A headboard that was leaning against a truck fell over and scraped 4 inches of skin off the back of his ankle. It took about a month for him to be able to walk in shoes without it hurting and a total of 5 weeks for the scab to heal all the way. We got pretty good at bandaging it, but it was a bummer that he had to miss out on running and swimming for so long.

It was quite a year for Stephen and Claudia. I know they definitely would rather have not had to go through all the uncertainty and moving around, but I am very grateful for how well we got to know them as we lived together. And the end result is exactly what we hoped for- they are so dang close to us that we are able to meet up super easily. Aaron and Stephen go running together twice a week, and Claudia and I meet at the park or pool at least once a week.
