I honestly can say that I thought this day would never come. After our first sell of our house fell through I was sure that we would never sell again. About a week before I was ready to throw in the towel an offer came through. It wasn't a great offer but we did lots of negotiating and things worked out! I was still very nervous about actually packing up our house since we had one failed contract already.
When it looked like things were finally going to go through it was a mad dash to finish. Since we were going to be storing everything for a while we decided to sell almost all of our furniture. This was probably the hardest part of the move for me. I spent hours posting ads on KSL and helping people carry furniture out to their cars. Once the furniture was gone it was time to pack. Mark was super busy at work so that left me and the boys. Luckily, Uncle Mitch and Aunt Rach were a huge help! They came over a lot and played with the boys or helped me pack. I couldn't have done it without them! When they weren't there Luke was complaining about how bored he was and Brody was putting who knows what in boxes.
Living wasn't ideal around our house since we had no furniture and everything was in boxes. Brody was the only one left with a bed while the rest of us slept on the floor for a couple of weeks. Eating out for every meal became the new norm. Our last morning in the house we went to McDonalds to get our breakfast. When I asked Luke what he wanted to eat he informed me what he was planning on order for his next three breakfasts at McDonalds. I love that the boys were still positive and had fun! I love the picture of Brody giving Luke a kiss while they ate their lunch on their stairs. It's a good thing they had each other throughout this move.
On moving day our ward was amazing! We had so many people show up willing to help. I think the fact that we had plenty of pizza and hardly any furniture made everyone very happy! Aunt Becca kept Brody entertained while the rest of us moved loaded everything in the truck. When we arrived at the storage unit my family was there ready to help unload. I honestly don't know what we would have done without all the help! We are so blessed with good family and friends.
A lot of rules went right out the window during the move. While unloading the last few items at the storage unit Luke asked me if he could ride his bike down the ramp. I of course responded with a no but Mark said yes. He had a blast doing it and it's a miracle he didn't break his neck! We had a hard time finding Luke's shoes the last day and he was left with flip flops. His poor feet were a disaster. This move was a lot of work and I don't know if I'm ready to do it in nine months when our house is done. Hopefully it will all be worth it in the end!
