Moving

We have never really moved before. Yes we did move to Tucson but we hardly had any stuff. The few items we did have were packed and moved by Allied. Once in Tucson we moved, but again, there was hardly any stuff. We moved back from Tucson but people packed us and physically moved us again. Then a lot of our stuff sat in storage for 6 months and was never unpacked, until now. Finally I have come to understand why people avoid moving at all costs. Throw in a couple of kids and way, way too much stuff that has been accumulated over the last 9 years and you have a nightmare. It has taken two weeks and we will finally be out of the rental house tomorrow. We moved our major things on Saturday followed by a wonderful salmon bake put on by the city in the park near us, followed by a birthday celebration for Brayden, followed by fireworks. The next day Brian went out of town and ants decided to invade the kitchen each night. The ants have been sprayed and Brian is back so things have settled down a little bit but I am considering having some sort of yard sale where people can bid on my "Mystery Boxes." This way I don't have to unpack and it would be more exciting than a regular yard sale.

I will post pictures of Brayden's birthday soon. We tried to make it fun under the circumstances. We just told him that the fireworks were special treat for him. He truly loved a party just for him. He wanted to wear his party hat and blew out the candles lit or not many times. After it was over he would randomly stand up, put his arms above his head and yell, "Party! Party! Party! Yey!"
