Moving madness

On Monday night my dad brought his trailer over and we started loading up some of the stuff we had in the garage. Casey would carry anything he could lift while Caleb ran around in the alley. I was feeling very glad that we had Nana and Buppa lined up to watch them the next couple of days!

On Tuesday Matt picked up the UHAUL and the fun began. We had a few guys helping us bring all the boxes out to the lawn. My dad was incharge of the packing (so he got to tell us all what to do, fun!) Our friend Matt was awesome at assisting Matt with the heavy items. After removing the fridge and the couches I think he was ready to quit!

As we continued to load we realized that there was no way all of our stuff was going to fit in that UHAUL. So a couple of pick up truck, van and trailers full took care of that problem. Thanks to the Weis' for taking our stuff over night.

Wednesday was when the fun began. Our closing went great and we celebrated by having a big juicy burger at Five Guys. Shortly after we arrived at our new place my dad pulled up with his truck and trailer and we started to unload. We had so many guys from our life group help us out that night. I was so impressed with how well they followed directions (I got to tell people what to
do that day!)

After unloading we got to enjoy a yummy dinner cooked by my dad. It was a great way to pay the guys for all their help. A big thanks to everyone who helped us over those few days. A big hug to my dad for being their everyday!

Since the big day we have kept busy unpacking and starting little projects around the house. Here are a couple of snapshots.
Here's Matt working on the contact paper in the kitchen cupboards (1st project).
