The last few weeks

Now I remember why I hate moving so much. The last 2 weeks have been kind of stressful. I have had to find a storage shed, find a place for Joey and I to stay for a couple of weeks, while he works and before I start my teaching job, and pack our apartment, move it and clean it before the 31st of July. It has felt like it has been drug out longer than 2 weeks sometimes and sometimes there just doesn't seem to be enough time. We also had some other unexpected things happen that was thrown in there with all the moving stuff. Needless to say, I have been stressed out and at times not handling it very well.

I managed to find a storage for an ok price. They are more expensive in Texas than they were in Idaho. It took me a little while to get motivated to pack. I didn't really want to do it because I didn't want to carry it down from the third floor. Next apartment we live in (if there is one) we will not be living on the third floor!!! We eventually got everything packed and moved to the storage. This is the first time in moving that we haven't had truck or suv of any kind. It was kind of hard for us to move stuff in my little car. We had help from Joey's Dad, his brother Josh, Sister and Brother-in-law Jeni and Tim and my dad's truck. Thank you all to those who helped!!! We greatly appreciate it. We couldn't have gotten it all done with out you. I would also like to thank my nieces Ivy, Klover and Meadow they were also a big help in cleaning the apartment and helping carry stuff down to the trucks. They were all so eager to help and did a great job!! Even when it was one of their birthdays!!!

I also managed to find us a place to stay for a few weeks. We are staying with our friend Zack at his house. We thank him so much for letting us stay at his house while we are in transition of moving to Houston!!!

While all the cleaning and moving was going on Joey was also practicing for a show. For those of you whom don't know, Joey plays the guitar and bass guitar. He has been in different bands off and on since I have known him. Tim, his brother-in-law, asked him to play bass with them in a church band for the Denton Stake Jubilee celebration. Those practices took time away from us getting things done faster. But I know how much Joey likes to play so it was worth the time. They did a great job and when I get a video of a song they played I will post about it. Also during that time Joey's great uncle died and his grandma had a heart attack. So he was a little preoccupied with those things. I was busy with helping my dad out at his work. He went on vacation for a week and needed my help in running his office for that week.

We got everything moved out and cleaned on time!! Yea!! Hopefully in the future we will be buying a house and staying there for a while so we don't have to move again!!!
