Moving Day! ... All Week Long

I'm happy to be able to report that we have officially moved. It has been quite the process. We've been living in the "Cabin" but the majority of our possessions have been at my parents and in a storage unit near their house. On Tuesday we made the trip to Price to load a trailer which my dad drove up the next day as he was coming up for a meeting he had on Thursday. We got clearance to put things in the garage of our new home before our actual move in date, so Wednesday night Tom, my dad and mom, Kenzi, and John loaded the garage. Then on Friday, with the help of Tom's parents and brothers, Allen and John, we brought things from the cabin. On Saturday we made a final trip down from the cabin, and then the work of setting up the house and organizing "junk" that had been packed away for two years began. We had help from Tom's parents, his brother, John, and sister, Nora. The girls were able to play with cousins as Heather volunteered to watch them, and Bentley has enjoyed earning money for a new bike by helping load boxes. Thanks to all the many people who have helped. The help has been a life saver as it hasn't been as easy move for me personally.










Loading up the storage unit.









The kids had fun playing at grandmas while Tom, Bentley and my dad, along with men from my parent's ward loaded the storage unit (Tuesday). The kids ran through the sprinkler, so we had to change them into PJs a little early.

So far we have loved our new surroundings. The people in the neighborhood and ward are extremely friendly, and the kids have already made new friends. We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but I couldn't be happier.
