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!!

So good to hear how you are doing!!! We've been thinking of you. I TOTALLY understand the hotel room frustrations--we were just there last week (trip to NM) but I had a few friends to help me out. I recommend going to church and finding a nice family with a yard to take pity on you. :-) Love you!!!
OH TERA TERA TERA....i feel it and not a stitch of envy for ya!! only pity and lots of prayers that soon you won't be homeless anymore!! i am glad you made it safe even if it has been crazy!! Hang in there!! loves
shoot, and I thought we felt unsettled with all our stuff still packed in the garage while we wait for new carpet to come in...
Heaven bless you, friend-- way to find the silver lining, glad you're all healthy! A blessing not to be taken for granted, for sure. :)
good luck on the home hunt! ugh!
hey! Glad you arrived safely, and I hope things settle down for you soon. Moving is so hard! Hugs!
I'm also glad you made it safely there. Hope it wasn't the newer car that broke down!!!
Good luck finding a new home. Home is where the heart is,right!?!
Congrats to Dave!!! What an accomplishment :)
Haven't been by in awhile. Never a dull moment with you guys! At least your healthy, hang on to that:) Hopefully, you're all settled by now though? Give an update when you can.
