Moving

Well, today has finally come. Brain and I need to be out of our apartment tonight. We have been working really hard this last week to get things packed up and moved to my parents house. My family has been such a wonderful help in all of this. Jacob stayed over a few nights last week, and we put him to work. We also had Rachelle come and help us on our big move day on Saturday. It was so wonderful having them help. We also had Krystal and her kids, Brynnlee and Caleb, help unload at Mom and Dad's. My family is so wonderful!

I have to say that we had a bit of fun during all the drudgery of moving. One of the times Brian came in get a drink he could not find his glass from earlier so he got another one out. Later I found the glass he had misplaced and gave it to Jacob. Jacob waited for the right moment and poured it on Brian as he was going down the stairs. It was a really hot day and Brian needed to cool off anyway.

Brain and I have lived in this apartment since we got married, and have many memories here. It is going to be hard to leave. We are going to miss this place.

Here are some pictures of the move on SaturdayOur next door neighbor took pity on Brian and Jacob and helped move our entertainment center.Jacob was such a big help to Brian and me
We were so glad that Krystal told us about how cheap it was to rent a trailer for just a day. We were able to move so much more in one trip with it. We did a bit of calculating and found that it would have taken about 4 or 5 times as many trips with only the truck , but we did it all in 2.
Here Brian is resting after a long day of packing. He deserved it.

  2. Man, I don't like packing and moving. I am sure you are glad to have this half of the move done. Good luck with the rest of your move to Michigan.
