Thanks to the help of many friends and family members the overwhelming task of packing up all of our belongings, cleaning both houses and moving into our new home was accomplished. We couldn't have done it without all the help!
After the unexpected quick sale of our home in Idaho, we had about a month to find a new home and prepare to move. By the following weekend, we had bought a house. The task of packing our belongings was a big one, though. We had been in our Idaho home for over twelve years! Men, young and old alike, helped Jim pack and clean up the garage--an especially daunting task. Several women from the ward helped me pack. Others helped me clean as the last of our belongings were being loaded on the truck.
Ann and Patrick hosted a going away party--we loved spending that last night before our move with good friends--and then provided a place for us to rest our weary bones for the night.
It would be another week before we could move into our new home. Many family members shared their homes and meals during that time. Then they appeared on our doorstep anxious to help on the day we moved in. We put them to work and got so much accomplished!
We feel blessed to be associated with so many wonderful people! A million thanks!!!!!
