Moving Day!

We sold our house...

and with only a couple of weeks
until the closing day, the military
couldn't get us on their moving schedule.
So, we had to make a quick decision
to move ourselves!  

My mom and I flew to Utah
a couple of days later.
With Eric's help and the help
of many wonderful friends,
we packed our entire house up
and loaded it into a truck in 48 hours.

Here are pictures from our adventure.

The first room we tackled - the kitchen!


We had to take a break from moving 
so the soon-to-be owners of our home 
could do the home inspection...
So Eric took us to Chick-Fil-A for a delicious lunch.


To kill a little more time, we went to
a winery in Layton Utah.


We got back to the house and worked
on packing the garage until the inspection was done.
Then, our wonderful friends, The Wilson's, brought us
some delicious BBQ for dinner.  Yum.

We continued to pack until we were 
about to fall over.  Then we decided to get a 
good night of rest so we
could finish things up the next day!

After a full day of packing.... we were tired.

We woke up the next day and packed some more.
Then around lunchtime, the truck arrived, along with
5 people from Eric's office to help us pack and load!











Eric's work friends left around 2:00.  
We got some more packing done
before the next group came to load the furniture.
Around 6:00, Rob and his son, Cary and Kristin, 
Nathan and Macy, Frank and Kelly, 
Daniel and Tiffany, and Kevin came over.
We ordered some delicious pizza 
from The Pie in Ogden for dinner.  
Then we spent many hours getting the truck loaded.  

Me and Rob enjoying some pizza!

Kelly and Frank


These 3 girls are awesome!

We got it all done...  

There are a few people missing from this picture - but these are our helpers.

Then we crashed...




We have a few weeks to rest before
we close on our new house and have
to unpack.  But that part is going to
be SO MUCH FUN!  I can't wait!
