We're In!!!

On Wednesday of last week, with a lot of help from our local scouts and a few men in our ward, we moved all our stuff into our new house. We got basically everything moved in only 2 1/2 hrs. I attribute it to my two weeks of toil and sorrow in packing up all the boxes and making sure we left nothing unpacked.

Now we have been here a week and are once again connected to the world via the internet, so I can now bring this blog up to date for your viewing pleasure.

The kids were very excited to move and celebrated with dancing. Even little Koda got into the spirit and busted a move. In fact, her first "trick" in the new house was to conquer the stairs, which she did the first day. Way to break in the new living room, Kids!

Slowly things are starting to feel "normal." We are getting into a routine again and enjoying our independence once more. Having your own home really does mean a lot, and we are so blessed to be able to own our own home once again. We thank God everyday for His tender mercies.
