We have had a very hard working busy week trying to prepare the Orem house and the Lindon house for the move. Jared has had little sleep and lots of work trying to keep his business running and getting appliances, prepping the basement of the new house for new paint, trim and carpet, getting plumbing issues taken care of, and preparing his stuff in the garage for moving. I've been in charge of packing the house and caring for the children of course. As I was dragging tired children up to the house the night before we moved, vacuuming so carpets could be cleaned, and runing to Walmart, then installing shower curtains at 10:00 at night, I was wondering if this whole ordeal was worth the work and why were we is such a big hurry? We found great renters for our new house, but they don't need to be in until the 15th of July, so why were Jared and I killing ourselves? Saturday morning many many people came over to help us load the moving van and deep clean the house. We were so grateful! As I was unpacking kitchen items in the new house with my dad, I started feeling so excited. I love my new house! I was then glad we moved in as soon as we could, I love every single day I get to live there. I still feel like a guest in a luxury condo, its weird that I never have to leave! Its wonderful. This morning I went running along the canal and was so overjoyed with the beautiful area. The neighbors and ward members are wonderful too, we are grateful to be in such a nice area. I wish I could express my gratitude to everyone that helped with the move. Here are some pictures I took before the furniture and boxes arrived.

I will post pictures of everything when we are settled, and when the basement is finished, and the back yard which I love. I have loved going outside in the morning and watching the sun rise on the houses, the view from our back deck goes all the way to the lake. It all worth the work and it is work! We are so blessed.
