It begins

Yesterday my mom brought over some boxes and we started packing away clutter so that my house might actually sell. I spent most of the day packing up and cleaning out the office. It is looking better! Tonight Justin's job is to make a storage unit out of his parking space in the garage (I'm sorry Justin, I wish we had a better alternative) so that we don't move the clutter from one corner to another.
Justin's start date is April 15th. We are planning to have him go out ahead, and we will follow at the end of April. That way he isn't swamped in a brand new job and moving in at the same time.

Things I will miss:
*Crazy weather changes. In Denver we say if you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes and it will change. Saturday it was the most beautiful day, around 70 degrees and we went four wheeling up in the mountains. Sunday it snowed all day, and I considered ditching stake conference.
*Trading off making dinner with my mom, and eating with her two or three times a week.
To be continued...

Don't say goodbye to crazy weather changes just yet. We get the same crazy weather changes out here! As a matter of fact, just a couple days ago it was beautiful spring-like weather outside, 70 degrees, butterflies fluttering, birds chirping... the whole nine yards. Then yesterday, it was 30 degrees outside and it SNOWED last night! It NEVER snows here! Then today, it was supposed to be cloudy and cold and instead it's like spring again. Weird. Anyway, weather like this should make you feel right at home! Oh! Also, one thing I LOVED about living in Colorado Springs is that out there you guys get AWESOME thunder storms... we get 'em here also. Sometimes more severe. So, you should feel right at home! :)

My friend, Ashley, took some great shots of the kids playing in the snow this morning... here's her link so you can check out just how crazy our weather system is here.

I'll be praying for your house to sell quicker than not, for your packing to not be horrid, for Justin's first weeks at the new job to go smoothly, and for your move to be the same. Will you guys get to make a little on your house? Hope so!

good luck packing. the bright side of it is that you can de-clutter and de-junk. my FAVORITE thing about moving (the only fun part!).
i need to plan a trip to texas to help you get settled in.
