Did I say Monday...I meant Wednesday...night!

Friday the 15th we started our move. Jake took the day off and we used the eight or so boxes left over from one of the moves and filled them up and loaded them into the car. We met our landlords, signed papers, got keys and gave them their money. Then Jake brought the boxes in and we dumped them out in their designated rooms. Then we put the empty boxes in the car and headed back to the old house. You may think this is a strange way to move...it is. But it also helped us get moved in....because we had to. You don't know how many boxes went months without unpacking in past moves. The only reason we decided to do this was because we didn't want to buy more boxes...

This was basically our strategy the whole time. Fill them up and empty them out...over and over again. We had a lot of help from our brothers; Jon (Jake's brother), Josh (my brother) and Tyler (our brother-in-law). We did rent a U-Haul truck and that was a BIG help. The guys filled it up and emptied it three times. Yes, you are right we have too much stuff. Thanks guys. We really appreciate your help and we'd probably still be moving stuff if it hadn't been for you three!

I mentioned the other day that my mom came and helped us get a ton of stuff done. Like organizing my craft stuff....we are a lot alike my mom and I....we like to save things....crafty things....because someday we'll use them...right mom? I'm not sure if I mentioned this but I have a laundry room...a rather large laundry room. Jake made me a "table" so that I can fold laundry on it. Under this table is a storage system full of my craft stuff. So essentially the table can be used for crafting as well as folding. YEAH! Who would have thought these things could make me so happy?

I took pictures during the move but I currently don't know where they are. Maybe on the other computer. If there is anything worth showing I'll do that later for now here are a few recent pictures from the last few weeks.
