February 2011 We made the cross country move from Utah to Pennsylvania.  Now that we were starting to get settled in a new area it was time to do some research to find a great doctor. That's one thing I don't like having to do on top of changing our address, registering our cars and getting new driver licences. Moving can be a bit overwhelming. Especially when you've moved 5 times in 6 … [Read more...]
