Pack it up

The movers came last Wednesday and packed up our things.
There were four of them that came and 8:30 and were done by 2:30.
They even took an hour lunch break.
I could not believe how fast it went, and how many boxes there were.
Judson thought it was great having such an obstacle course in the house. He loved running around the boxes and peeking his head out. It was very funny, but a little crazy to live around. Once Judson woke up from his afternoon nap we went to a friends house to hang out and then ate supper out that night. The house was just a little to crazy to be in for long.

The movers came back on Thursday and packed the truck. There were like six of them this day and they had the rest of the house packed up and the truck loaded by noon. It was so fast!! But it was good that they worked fast because we had a lot of cleaning to do. It was easier to clean and empty house, but it still it took forever!! I am so glad that Nate had taken Thursday and Friday off of work and was there to help me with everything.
The closing was on Friday, so the house is not longer ours. We really loved that house and living in Lincoln. We will miss all of our friends there so much.
But we know that God has sent us on this journey for a reason and we need to trust that He knows what is best for us.

We are currently living in an extended stay hotel (once we are a little more settled I will take some pictures and post them), but have made an offer and had it accepted on a house in Ankeny. There are just some things that the sellers need to take care of and we need to wait for the bank to get everything in order for us. We should close and be able to move in the first part of June. So just a few weeks or a month here in the hotel. It is close quarters, but it is great being back together as a family again!!

SO HAPPY for you guys. Tom told me you put an offer on a house and I said NO WAY. I had no idea. Crazy that Tom knew and I didn't. Made me feel like an awful friend. I hope everything is going okay. I LOVE YOU!
