Farewell...

This is the reason I'm so behind on the blog...we moved out of our beloved first house. The move started Wednesday afternoon with this truck. All of the furniature that we would be able to use at my parents house was moved and some things from their house got brought back to our house so they could be stored with our belongings to make room for our furniature.
This is the conclusion of the BIG move on Thursday night. For once I will say I am so thankful Chris coaches wrestling!! Three of his guys helped us Wednesday night. Another coach and two of the wreslers helped us on Thursday with the final move. Without them we would have never been able to make the move. I was completely amazed at how helpful and hardworking the wrestlers that came were! Thursday's move was a bit more chaotic. I had both girls at the house to watch (until my mom rescued me after she was done working) and was directing moving so things got brought to storage or left. We quickly filled the one truck we rented and Chris had to get another one. Chris and I were at the house very late getting the last odds and ends together that needed to be moved to my parents' house. Friday morning Chris and my dad drove the UHauls to our storage warehouse and helped unload it all. They then packed  the smaller truck with way more things than we thought that needed to be brought to my parents. Chris got home at 3:00, 1 hour before we closed!!! Talk about cutting it close.
It was so sad to see the house completely empty. Closing went smooth and we talked to the new owners. We just hope they are good to the neighbors we love and that we don't go past our house to see it has "gone down the tubes." Now we will meet with the builder of the home we are hoping to build to figure out why the new bid he gave us is so ridiculously high. We hope we can work things out with him so we can move forward with building the house on the lot we bought last summer.
