busy

We had a very busy last 2 weeks. As I was trying to get ready to move I wanted to let Kylie have a birthday party with her friends. The next night we were given an open house and visited with so many good friends. Thanks Becky for making us do that, we had so much fun! Then we decided to bring the kids to Utah and let my sisters and mom watch them so I could pack, clean, and drive the truck a little easier. So Saturday we left after Kylie's dance recital dress rehearsal.

We left and then got stuck behind an accident on I-17. So after sitting in the hot sun for about a half hour we turned around and went on some dirt roads so we could get back on the freeway and get on our way. We made it and the kids did really well especially Cameron.

Sunday was Father's Day and we spent it with my family. We had a yummy dinner and the kids were in heaven playing with their cousins. Jason and I flew back to Arizona and for the 1st time in over 9 months I slept without waking up until 7:00 am. I packed everything else upstairs and called it a day. Tuesday I started the downstairs and we were able to meet some friends for dinner. We ate a yummy dinner of fajitas, and then some ice cream for dessert. Wednesday I decided I never want to move again, I was tired of packing, moving and being in a constant mess! I finished up the kitchen and Jason and I got the garage and study all done. Thursday I started cleaning and getting all the last minute stuff packed. We met some other friends for lunch and then headed home to prepare for the help with packing the truck. I was so nervous because I wanted everything to fit in 1 truck as I didn't want to have to drive a truck by myself. We had such awesome help and after much puzzle work we were able to fit everything important in the truck. We only had a few items left behind and were able to find a good home for all of it.

Friday morning we got up and I started cleaning. Got most of the upstairs done when my friend Cherilyn came over and helped me vacuum. And then I had a couple others come over and help me do the little things that take some time. It was so generous of them and I was able to get everything done with plenty of time left over. Thank you Carrie and Cherice! We did our walk through and said goodbye!

We had many great looks from other people as we headed to Page. We were traveling in style especially our civic. We took our time and made it there around 8:30. Got some dinner then headed to our campsite. I told J that we could camp, so I made reservations and we got to our site which was by a busy road with a bright light shining on us. Needless to say that night we didn't get our best sleep. We both laughed as our air mattress deflated in the middle of the night and we had rocks sticking in our backs. We woke up at the crack of dawn and tried to go back to sleep so we decided to get up and just go.

We made it safely and got our storage unit got the truck unloaded and got to see our kids. It was a good ending to a crazy week.
