Apparently attendance typically averages between 500,000 and 750,000. It was a fantastic show with A LOT of people. If you are claustrophobic at all this is not a show for you.

Here is a video of the finale of the show.

We initially thought that one 16 foot truck would be enough space to fit all of our STUFF.....well we were wrong!! We ended up renting a separate trailer and pulling it behind our beautiful Buick. The two days before actually driving to Columbus were very stressful but we survived and I think we are better for it.

On my way back to Idaho/Utah to visit family and friends I ran into a deer on the east side of Omaha....luckily it was only cosmetic issues.

Update (3.22.2009)

Like I mentioned earlier I am due to graduate in May and we are planning to move to Columbus Ohio shortly after. Mary is transferring to Nationwide Corporate Headquarters to continue her work in Project Management. I am in the process of finding a job in Columbus hopefully with Nationwide Insurance also. Last week was Spring Break so we took a road trip to Columbus to look for an apartment and I did some pre-interview contacts with Nationwide. We continued on to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania where my parents (Irwin & Judy) are serving a mission. Together we visited some of the local sites and met some of the members/investigators in their area.
