The Move

Well, thanks to all of the family, friends, and people we didn't even know we are happily settled in our new home. I think that we are in the honey-mooning stage because we don't have anything negative to say thus far. It is wonderful. The girls are sleeping in their bedroom downstairs without any issues. That includes Taylor in a big girl bed--she is doing awesome. We have so many people to thank that it is hard to know where to even begin. Paige, Stephanie, and Kendra--thank you for watching the kids during the packing process. Dad, Eric, Dan, Mark, Graham, Jack, Steve, Craig, and all of those Calvin guys--thank you for carrying packing/unloading. Mom and Stephanie--thank you for cleaning and unpacking. Laura--thank you for the awesome meal to feed our hungry workers. To all of the kids--Trajan, Damon, Makenna, Hailey, Taylor, Carter, Caleb, Bennet, and Kylie--Thank you for being so flexible and well behaved.
We have been so blessed with such awesome family and friends. We are pretty much unpacked and settled. There are a few things that we are still learning with being new home-owners, but it is all great. I'm loving the washer/dryer, dishwasher, and garage. Mike is loving the same, but more so maybe his TV. The girls love the deck and back yard. Carter needs to love his new room a bit more during the night, but that is about the only complaint at this point.
Come and visit!


Loving the deck!



The loading process was much for tedious than unloading. Our friend Steve showed up with 12 men that were at his house for a reunion to unload. That was wild and I didn't even get a chance to take pictures.



The 24 foot Budget TruckGood by 1049 F--It was great!
