Well we are moved.... and from what we can tell the only damage was one broken garden hose keeper. This is amazing! For those of you that came to help us, I could never say thank you enough. We were so unprepared. The sad thing is, we didn't recognize this face until about 10:30 or so the night before we moved. We really thought things were ok... we knew we would be busy, but thought everything was pretty much doable ourselves. We had got some packing in the truck done and a couple people stopped by and the guys put in a couple of heavy things and Mark and I thought at that point we pretty much had it wrapped up. From my stand point the kid's stuff was taken care off and so was mine, so we were done. I couldn't have been more wrong!!! Thankfully a couple of girls who knew what they were doing took over and clean out the house. As I look back and think about it, it is both embarrassing and amazing. I now know what I should do when I move.... granted I should have probably figured that out a week before everything, but oh well! I think I'm still in a little shock we actually moved and maybe denial was the reason I wasn't prepared. I am proud to say that I made it through closing without crying! Big step in the process that I'm still dealing with.... I did start crying today when AJ asked me if tomorrow was the day we were going back home to Illinois. It is so sad to have to tell him, we have to find a new house and we don't live there anymore.
I miss my friends!!
On a positive note we put a offer in tonight.... yeah!! It need to be completely redone, but it's just outdated, not disgusting like some we've seen. The price was amazing and the school district was the best in this area, so that's great. Hopefully I'll be posting some good news in a couple of days. Also, I have a couple pics of the move, but apparently the cords to the laptop are in a different box (I think the same one as my phone charger!), so I'm can't put any pics up until I find it.
Thanks again to everyone that helped us.... it is so appreciated and I don't think I could ever pay you enough for all you did, but I do hope to pay it forward!

I'm bummed we weren't able to stop by on Sunday (or otherwise see you one more time before you moved). :( We have had the plague around here ... full of germs. Ugh. Anyway, congrats on a successful move. I'm glad you have this blog so I will be able to keep up with you guys. Take care!
We miss you guys! Hope the house works out! We're praying for you!
I feel like crying at the fact that you feel like crying :( It is so sad that you moved but that is what God had planned for your family. We miss you already! Oh, and...Craig's finger is just fine :)
