Home at last

Adam think's I've put this off long enough, so I will post about our move....in. It was amazing, dangerous and overwhelming. I'm bruised from head to to (almost literally) but everything is inside and we are in our new place. We couldn't love it anymore. We got here about 11 AM on the 1st of June and got the keys to our new place. The bishop came over and welcomed us to the ward (I've never had that happen before love it here already) and that help would arrive by 5 PM. We started moving some of the lighter boxes inside, and then relaxed for a little while until my parents got here around 3ish. One of the young men came a little after they did and that's when it got busy. I swear to you this boy, Damonie, would have moved the whole truck by himself. But Dad did a good job keeping up with him. A 54 year old Man keeping up with a 12 year old boy who could bench press his mom....pretty impressive. So by the time the EQ and Young Men showed up, all that was left was the couches and the washer and dryer. I did help, I got kicked in the head by a chair, and I don't know what I was carrying when I hit my shin, but I've got a nice bruise there, and the whole heel of my hand has been bruised from setting up the bed....anyway back to the story. A few people showed up around five...and then more people,...and then more people...all in all about 15 people came to help out. I was so greatful I almost cried. They got our couches inside and even set up our washer and dryer. So now we just have piles of boxes everywhere. I will post pictures of our new place when we get it a little more organized, and then I will post what I'm going to do to the place...muah ha ha ha. I have premission for accent walls, and I'm going to make couch covers and pillows for the couches, and I'm getting excited just thinking aobut it. Anyway, it's going to be wonderful, and I finally feel like we have a home...not just a house. I love sitting by the window and looking out and seeing the beautiful mountains, and the sky....We also found out that we are going to be loosing our ward....it's being split up, which makes me sad, even though we haven't been to it yet...we've already been shown so much love. And thank you to all who helped with the move out, and the move in.
