Packing up

Why is it that every time we move I wait until the last couple of days to get it done? I have packed a little here and there but all the major things still need attention. Our home is about a week away from being completely finished. That leaves me just a few days to pack it all up, unload it and unpack it and then to clean our home from top to bottom. It is overwhelming at times. But I will be grateful when it is all said and done.
The boys have been great. They think that putting all of our belongings into boxes is fun. They have been helping me clean their own rooms. They are excited to get into the new house. We were there last night and the cabinets were being installed and the boys brang some friends with us and they just had a great time climbing dirt hills, throwing rocks and just getting really dirty. Behind our new home is a huge cow field. Andrew gets especially excited to see them. It will be a good move for us. At least we get to stay within our ward boundaries. We absolutely love our ward. It has been one of the best wards we have belonged to. We love the members, our callings and the location. Life has blessed us incredibly since we moved back to Idaho. We feel very fortunate to have the things the Lord has seen fit to bless us with. Our hearts are full of love and gratitude.
I leave tomorrow morning for Utah. It will be just a day trip. Up early morning and back late that night. I am getting together with some missionary buddies and we are going to attend the funeral service for our beloved President John C. Hadfield.
I will post some pictures of our home in the next few days. It has really turned out beautifully.
