Moving is crazy

Moving is crazy. Next time I talk about moving remind me how crazy it is. While trying to pack an prepare to move a few days before Angie snuck away from me for just a few seconds and fell half way down the stairs. Thankfully she was not hurt. (I cannot wait to baby proof). Thankfully before moving in we have been able to have the place sprayed for bugs, cleaned, have done lots of painting and had new carpet put in or new place.

Despite many attempts ahead of time for help Andy had only one loyal friend show up to help him pack up the storage unit the night before the big move. Thanks Bruce you are the man!

Thankfully many more people showed up to help load up at the Mission Viejo home and even more showed up to help at the new Rancho Santa Margarita home. It goes to show the burden that can be lifted by the service and help of others.

Once the truck was unloaded Andy's Mom, Angie and I had to get dressed to go to Becca's (my soon to be sister in law) Bridal Shower. She had scheduled the Shower before we scheduled the move so it was our own fault. It was nice to have a break to sit and have fun at the shower but I felt guilty to leave Andy and my family behind with tons to do at the new home.

When we got home we found so much done. Angie's room was mostly put together, our bed was put back together, the kitchen table was assembled, and even most of our kitchen was unpacked. I owe a huge thank you to Grandma Kathy, Grandpa Bob, Uncle Cameron, Aunt Darby, Grandpa Bill, Grandma Yumiko, Bruce who did double duty and all the others who showed up to help. We could not have done it without you!

doesn't it just make you want to cry to think of all the help that gives you!?! When we moved out into our new home here, we had whole families show up to help...not just the elders quorum and it was such a blessing! And it have so much of it even done when you couldn't be there-wow! You must be loved. :)
