The mother of all moves

This is our SEVENTH move in FIVE years. You'd think by now that we'd have learned a little something. Oh, but we have learned plenty!! Lots of learning going on all the time (it continues even now!) Here's something funny--I was actually looking forward to this move. Finally I wasn't pregnant and moving. Finally I wasn't trying to juggle a brand new baby and moving. Finally I was feeling a little bit organized, a little bit in control going into a move. Ah, the irony! Here's what I'm looking forward to: being able to look BACK at this time in our lives and laugh and enjoy the memory.

To recap the last several weeks: traveled to Phoenix for D's graduation from med school!!, purchased a car that would be able to tow our stuff from Utah to Michigan, purchased a trailer that would hold our stuff, packing frenzy, cleaning frenzy, cross-country drive with three little kids in two vehicles including one big trailer, one car break-down en route, lots of hotels along the way, arrival to the land of big, beautiful trees, car break-down after arrival, search for suitable short-term housing, D started orientation, more fruitless searching for housing, five people (including 3 kids who NEED naps and 2 adults who'd LOVE naps) in one hotel room for a week and a half... Well, we're climbing the walls here, and there's no end in sight. The good news is, we're all healthy. We're also hoping to end our homelessness soon!!
