Well, I think I have finally recovered from the past month's events! We have been so busy preparing for this move...I actually think it was the hardest move that we have had yet, as far as figuring out how to pack things and where things need to go. The contract we had for our apartment ended on March 31 and we didn't want to extend it because it costs so much more money, so even though our new place isn't done yet we decided that we needed to move. The two main things that were hard were 1- we got back from our trip to Hawaii on March 29th with 2 days to be out of our apartment, and 2- we had to move most of our stuff to a storage unit. So I had to figure out where everything needed to go. If we needed it with us where we were living, if it went to the storage unit, if it went to Hawaii and then to the storage unit, or if it was DI or garbage. I was pretty stressed and busy for most of the month of March, with tutoring, packing up our belongings, being sick & tired, and just preparing for the trip and the move. I also made these wood letters for Allie's birthday, which took up some time, but was fun! I can't believe Allie turned 13 this year!
The craziest thing with moving, is that all of a sudden you realize how much stuff you have. This is all the stuff we took to the DI. We now have more to take, probably more that we SHOULD take, and probably more that we WILL take when we move in. Luckily we had helpful friends and family who helped us move all of our stuff! Thanks to everyone who helped us out! We know it's not easy to drop all you have, especially on a Monday. And a big, special thanks to Courtney and Tyler for letting us stay with you! You have been amazing hosts!
It was pretty sad to leave our home for the past two years. So many amazing things have happened there. We took Sydney home from the hospital to that home. She learned how to smile, crawl, and walk there. We spent a lot of time going on walks, looking at the ducks and geese, walking to Michael's, Smith's, Deseret Book, and Babies-R-Us, or to get snow shacks! I will miss the tall trees and the location. But, we are very excited for our new home and the exciting things that will happen there. One thing I have learned from all the moves in my life, is that every new place is wonderful, because we make memories there as a family, and every place will hold good and fun memories. We are glad to have lived in the Springs for the past two years and look forward to the future as well!

I am glad you guys made it out okay! I liked your old place, but I am sure that I am going to love your new place!
PS The Allie presents looks so good!
Hey! Looks like things are going great for you! Good luck getting settled in your new place and enjoy your new adventure! I had a quick question for you...where did you get the wood letter that you decorated for your sis? I've been looking to do some for Ellie, but haven't been able to find some that I liked and I really like the font/style of the letters you did! Have a great day!
