Moving.

We have sucessfully moved out of our house. We ended up being there almost exactly a year. What a blessing it was to find buyers so fast!!

Moving day was incredible. About a dozen guys from our ward showed up to help. I left to go drop my kids off at my friend Mandy's house so that moving would go a little faster. By the time I got back the truck was loaded and my cute little house was empty. The ward then went with Noah to the storage unit and unloaded the truck. We loved our ward in Roxborough and the many friendships that we made there. We are so sad to leave.

Noah's family came a little later and helped load up the furniture that was going to Noah's parents house. And did one last good will run. By 3:30 the house was empty, and clean, and we pulled out of the garage for the last time.

Leaving our house was a really hard decision for us. We loved the house, the yard, the beautiful area, the church. At the same time we are so excited for Noah to be able to go to school full time. We are also so blessed that Noah's job with the City and County of Denver is being so understanding and flexible with his schedule so that he can work full time also.

Noah's parents have also been so wonderful in welcoming us into their home, again. They have made countless sacrifices to make us comfortable and keep us close to our kids.

Ruby is to young to understand what is happening, but Levi has been a trooper for the whole thing. At first he thought that he was getting another room at Gram;s house and that Ruby was getting another room. Then he thought that he and Ruby were sharing a room, but that he was keeping his room at his house. Then on moving day he understood, and just kept saying that Levi's house was really sad. Ironically I am grateful that we bought our van a couple of months ago. It was hard for Levi to say goodbye to the cruiser, and it was hard for him to say goodbye to the house. It has been a good lesson for him about changes coming in our lives.

Heavenly Father's hand has been watching over us these past few months while we have made these big decisions. Our testimonies have been strengthened and our little family has grown closer together.
