Moving Weekend

Shockingly, it wasn't us moving ourselves, but us moving our children. First we helped Nathan and Rebecca load their things into a moving truck on Friday afternoon. Then on Saturday morning we formed a caravan of 5 cars and the truck and headed for Boise. Rebecca and her sister didn't stay in line with the rest of us. They beat us there by a little bit, but Doug drove the truck, Nathan drove his car, I drove our car and Brendan followed us to Pocatello where he left his car in the Wal-Mart parking lot so we didn't have to take him back to Idaho Falls, and he got in with me. After only 2 short stops, we got to their new townhouse, which they had only seen pictures of, and unloaded their things. Their townhouse was really cute and we spent the rest of the day trying to get things into place. I'm not sure if we helped much because setting up a house is kind of a personal thing I think. Sometimes others' suggestions only tend to frustrate the situation. But I think it looked pretty good even though they still have quite a bit to do. Here are some pictures of their house.
Their townhouse is on the right. The sliding door is theirs and their front door is around to the right side.

Then on Monday we moved Emmi over to Pocatello. When we got there, the manager wasn't there and we had to have the assistant manager let us in. None of her other roommates were there, so we set up her bed and helped her get settled in. Then we went and got something to eat, buy a few groceries, walked to the campus and to the bookstore, and back to her apartment. It was hard to leave her there because she was all alone. But I'm sure she will be fine. I probably will be too.

The best thing about being a mom is watching your kids grow up a be successful. The worst thing about being a mom is watching your kids grow up and move on. Thank heavens for the gospel and eternal families.
