Moved

For those of you wondering, the move was a success. We closed on Friday and got the keys and garage door openers. We then dropped off the Honda and let the boys run around for a bit, then were off to a dinner with my work. We were up late breaking down the beds and packing more, then sleep.

We had 4 guys come from our ward to help us pack. 2 of them were in the Presidency with me. Thanks guys for your help. You are great. We got most of the things loaded in about 2 hours. We had to pack more stuff, then came all of the miscellaneous stuff that you missed, forgot about, or didn't know how to pack. That took another couple hours. Then the boys and I drove over to the new place. There were about 15 people waiting to help us move in. By the end of it, which took about 40 minutes total to empty the truck, we had almost 20 people there helping us. It was really humbling. I had never experienced love like that. My last 3 moves only had 1-2 people showing up to help from the new ward. So this was unreal for us.

The ward really is awesome. The RS President brought us dinner and had a ward list if we needed any help with who to call. They are really on top of things for only being a ward for about a month. The thing that is most impressive to me are the attitudes of everyone I meet. They are all positive and upbeat. Everyone is willing to jump in and help at a moment's notice. What great examples to me and my family. We are excited to be here.

We are glad you are in and everything went well. Isn't it great to have your own house. Now you don't have to spend money on rent? We want to see the place.
