moving

We made the big move last weekend. Ryan started packing two weeks before so we had stacks of boxes in the apartment. Ryan went to pick up the u-haul and the first thing he said when he came back was, "It looked bigger on the website." It was a lot of work to stuff every thing in; luckily we had my family and some of the elders quorum here to help. Including our Home Teacher who is a champion packer and able to find a place for just about everything (the rest went in to My Father-in-laws pick-up. My great friend and mom cleaned the back of the apartment while the truck was being loaded.

Ryan brought the truck to the house where his family helped unload; while my mom and I stayed at the apartment and had the relief society come and clean the rest. I felt kind of useless just watching them do it but there's no way I could have done it trying to pack the pantry wiped my 7 months pregnant body out. I know, just making excuses.

Here are pictures of the apartment with all the boxes in it. Included is a picture of the truck stuffed full (I was Impressed).


Ryan thought it might be a good idea to pack the kids.

Dining room

living room

kitchen. Notice those cupboards. One of the downsides of the new house: hardly any cupboard space.

Master bedroom

Frogs bed and all the baby clothes. Yes, this is how we lived.

Master closet. Another thing I will miss. This thing was almost another room.

Boys bedroom

Oh yea, did I mention? It rained the entire day. There were a few breaks, but mostly it just rained.

The truck with everything smashed in. Our helpers didn't want to be in the picture.
