In the previous post, I mentioned that we would be moving. Now we are here and settled. It is so nice having a place of our own. What a great time to buy for us too. The girls have transitioned well. Arlee was a lot better after we found the missing night light. Haha.
I really wanted to get the painting done before moving anything in, but we were all sick the two weeks before moving day. I was really bad too. I got a sinus infection. I was probably dealing with it for a couple days, but finally got an appointment with my doctor on Black Friday. He opened the clinic just for me. I love going to him for that, but I don't want to take the girls there. (I would rather a pediatrician. I know some people would say that there isn't a difference, but I have a peace of mind taking them to one.)
Anyway, he gave me a prescription and I was feeling so much better the next day, which was moving day. Thank goodness too. I don't know how I would have handled it all otherwise. Probably not very well. We feel so grateful for all the people that came and helped us move. (MOVE not PACK and MOVE.) We had about 15 guys there, a free truck (gave them the microwave for the truck. It was their idea too), a few baby sitters for the girls, and a lot of man power. Get in and get it done is my motto.
Hans and I had everything pretty well organized. It was all in boxes and nicely stacked. I was wrapping up furniture when the guys got to our place. By the time they moved out the boxes and stuff I was ready for the wrapped furniture to be taken out. Talk about smooth. They met us over to the new house and we... they unloaded. Hans started putting things together and I was directing traffic. I felt pretty dumb pointing my finger while everyone else did the lifting, but something that I got over quick. We took 2 hours from start to finish. It was crazy fast. I have to say it was out best move yet.
Someone even mentioned that it was well organized and compliments to whoever organized it. YAY!!!!!! We are getting so good at this moving thing. I am hoping we don't do it again for a long time. I know that is not what people in Utah would say, but hey. I can't help wanting to be settled. I love planting roots.
We just barely went to the new ward and they were very welcoming to us. I think they like that we have little girls. They seem to fit right in with all the rest of the girls there too. Arlee did miss her buddy, Zoey though. I am just glad that we live close enough to get together. They still have preschool together too.
Lydia just hated going during nap time. No worries for her though. We will be switching back to 9am church again in Jan. My favorite church time for sure- with kids.
Pictures to come... Maybe tomorrow. Fingers Crossed.
