Moving Day

Yesterday we moved out of our apartment, but not into our new house. We are still in escrow, but wanted to save some money on rent this month and avoid having a rent and a mortgage payment in the same month. Steve and Wendy have kindly let us stay with them for the next few weeks until we officially own a house and have made enough repairs to move in. It was an exhausting day! Luckily we had a lot of help from people in our ward, which we are very thankful for. It would have taken us forever if we did not have the help. We had to move out (and since we are on the second floor and pretty far from the street, it took a while) and then move all our stuff into a storage unit. The storage unit was pretty fun looking, it was three stories and was huge! It would have been awesome for playing night games. Anway, then we cleaned until 9:00 pm. We had orignally told our apartment manager that we would be ready sometime in the afternoon, then we told her five, then we just told her we had no idea. Luckily she was cool about it. Finally at 9:00 we got the last of our stuff out and over the Steve and Wendy's. We were so tired. Now we get to do it all again in three to four weeks.

P.S. Yesterday we were moving, last night I was too exhausted to do anything but sleep, and this morning I was preparing a Y.W. lesson. Now I can finally start Breaking Dawn!
