We spent the rest of the week since the kids finished school packing up and moving into our Lehi house. Saturday was the big move day. It was supposed to be chilly and stormy. We did get rained on a little bit, but most of the rain happened when we were in between loading and unloading or after we were all unloaded. Whew.
It didn't go quite as smoothly as we had hoped since Ian and I came down with a nasty cold on Friday morning. By Saturday we were pretty miserable, but we powered through and got everything in. Now we are trying to get settled and get better.
We are very glad to be in our new house and are so grateful to all the people who helped us pack (Mel and Brad!), load (so many awesome people from our Kearns ward!), and unload (a few troopers from our new ward).
We have had a busy, productive Memorial Day. Weston was anxious to go out and make friends today, so this morning we
went outside to play and met our next door neighbor's kids. They have
the exact same set up of kids all a little older than ours. Two boys,
then a girl, with another boy on the way. Kind of funny right? The mom
is super nice too and we chatted this morning. I'm looking forward to
hanging out with them this summer. I shopped with Talia at
Target this morning for some random organizational things we needed,
then grabbed a few BBQ supplies at Macey's.
Talia is finally starting to get used to being here and isn't quite so clingy, which is nice. I am also finally making real progress at unpacking. I got the whole kitchen and pantry put together yesterday. Today I worked on my closet. It's pretty much done. Next hurdle is unpacking all the bathroom stuff and figuring out what will go in which bathroom. Oh, and rearranging furniture, and decorating, and getting all the empty boxes and bins out, etc.
I LOVE our new house. The more I unpack the more I am loving the space and the amenities. We BBQ'd for dinner tonight. Ian set up the patio furniture and the canopy so we could eat outside. The kids spent most of the afternoon out there playing with the new water table too. Talia was soaked. It's going to be a fun summer with such a usable backyard. Sorry this is kind of a boring post, but there's our moving weekend in a nutshell. I will post pictures of the house as we get things organized and unpacked.

New houses are so exciting! It can be overwhelming too getting unpacked and settled. Take your time and don't stress out. So glad to hear you've already found friends in your new neighborhood!
