Moving Day

We moved out of our house May 22nd. We had a lot of good helpers (Chase's friends, missionaries and a friend from our ward) that made things much easier. I wasn't exactly much help being pregnant and chasing a toddler around. We packed everything up in the truck but we stayed one last night in our house with the bare minimums. We slept on a borrowed air mattress and Mason slept in his pack-and-play. He wasn't very happy about sleeping in a different location but it was an adventure.

Seeing the house empty was a little emotional, especially when Chase told Mason to say goodbye to his first house. We had a lot of great memories there! I will miss a lot of things about Columbus like the bunnies, squirrels and fireflies in our backyard and of course our friends.

After we were homeless, Mason and I flew to Utah and Chase stayed with an extremely kind family in our ward. I didn't think they would appreciate a loud little boy who throws his food on the floor!

Mason was a big help packing!

Some of the boxes we had packed in one room.

Mason had so much fun playing in the truck.

And especially going up and down the ramp. I think we did this like a hundred times!

This is the truck that holds all our stuff somewhere in Ohio still. Can't wait to see it again!

It's always so hard to leave what you know! Plus that was the house you brought your first baby home too! It's easy to be a bit emotional! I once cried when I sold a car! I'd been through SO much in that car and it was hard to see that baby go! :)
I know you've got another great adventure just around the bend! :)

It was such a cute house. Glad we were able to see it and stay there a couple of times! Now, we are just wondering where you'll end up now!!
