Did I mention we're moving???

That's right folks, we're heading out! We packed up last week.....


....rented a trailer from a company that will drive our stuff across the country for us (YAY... we don't have to drive a U-haul across 8 states!! Thanks Jon for the suggestion.).....

...Loaded it up and packed it in tight with the help of Steve's brother, Adam (Thanks a ton, Bun!)...

...The trailer was picked up on Tuesday and now here we are..... less than 2 days 'til we hit the road! CRAZY!!! Ohio here we come!

Weekend Fun


Last weekend was an eventful and fun-filled one for us!

Saturday night we had a sort of farewell barbeque with Steve's buddies-- Jared Hiatt, Jacob Mifflin, Jesse Hansen, and Ben Toller (brother)-- and their wives/kids. These guys have all been buddies for many years, but we aren't able to get together very often. Maybe two or three times a year! But, we wanted to get together at least one more time before we move out to Ohio. So, we fired up the grill, had some good laughs, pulled out "Rock Band" and had a grand ol' time!




Sunday, my little neice Kahri was blessed. My sister and her fam are out here from Switzerland and it was fun to get together with everyone. And Kahri, of course, is just so dang cute!

Most years, to kick off the summer, we have a campout in my parents' back yard-- Tiki Lamps and all! Friday night was the night we had planned for our Camp Out. Unfortunately my little brother Daniel was sick and throwing up Thursday night, so we canceled. Good thing we did, too, because Friday night my older brother Chris and my Mom both got the same thing!
Anyway, we ended up doing it Sunday night instead.
It was a fun night filled with "Hawaain" haystacks, homemade coconut ice cream, steel drum music played on the Sponge Bob boom box, tiki lamps, and plenty of flaming 'mallows!!!!
