The Move

2,090 miles.
2 delayed flights
5 different houses and beds in 8 days
1 house completely packed and cleaned out in Virginia
6 day wait for a truck to arrive with all of our belongings
1 condo filled to the brim with boxes (boxes that we're so thankful to see because it meant that we got to be in our own space).
1 sinus infection.  1 bout with the stomach flu.  1 cold and fever (poor Leo)
1 passed Real Estate Exam

We are tired.  It's been a long couple of weeks.  

Leo wanted to make sure that his toys made it safe.

Trying to stay entertained at the airport. 

I want to publically thank those who helped us so much with our move.  To the Halstead's for bringing us lunch and good company, you have no idea how much we needed that.  To the Olsen's for bringing us dinner.  A special thank you goes to Nicole and Lawrence for helping with the cleaning.  We were down to the wire on absolutely everything and we wouldn't have made it.  To Gavin for helping to move furniture and for eating our ice cream that would have gone to waste.  The Williams' for inviting us to dinner and making Halloween a celebration.  To Amy and Zach (our dear friends) who drove us over to drop our cars off, over an hour away.  They even remembered to give us Leo's birthday present 2 weeks early.  Leo has not stopped talking about Zach.  To the Blake's for allowing us to stay with them for a couple of crazy days and for driving us to the airport. 

We want to thank all of those who supported us on the Utah end.  Mom and Dad Lawrence for a bed and beautiful Sunday dinner, Mom and Dad Green for picking us up at the airport and putting together such a fun activity with family.  For the Litza's Pizza (Heber's absolute favorite) and for allowing us to use their car.  It would have been tight without it.   The Palmer's for letting us stay with them and running us all around.  They were a huge help with the moving of boxes.  And the Kelsey's for having us for dinner when we had absolutely nothing but cereal in the house (seriously.  Oh, and we are still looking for bowls).


There's nothing like a move to help you realize how wonderful your life is and how many wonderful people you have in your life.  Thank you all!
