We moved (again)

The Moving Crew

Amber, Mikkena and I just moved into the first place we can call our own. We love it and are very excited to be here. We thought we'd start this new chapter in our life off right by making it as difficult as possible for people to help us move in. Just in case this sounds like fun to all of you, you can follow our six easy steps the next time you move.

1. Make sure you move into your new ward the week it is split into two new wards. That way it will be as chaotic as possible for your new ward to organize people to help you.

2. Make sure that you contact your new elders quorum president the night before you move and insist that you need help. We actually contacted him 2 days before, but nobody's perfect!

3. Make sure that you move onto the third floor of your building, and make sure that the stair case leading up to your condo is too small to fit your couches.

4. Use extra-large boxes and fill them with books. This ensures that no one can lift them (especially up three flights of stairs). I went the extra mile and filled a box with rocks (for my turtle habitat).

5. Laugh and make fun of people trying to pick up a box of rocks.

6. Don't tell people that you have a second trailer that you need them to unload. Wait for them to almost completely unload your u-haul, and then jump out and yell "surprise"!

Remember this approach might not work for everyone, but it certainly did for us. Thanks to everyone who helped us move!

Our first meal in our new condo. Amber wanted me to point out that she was the one who cooked the meal. It doesn't happen often, but when it does its good. Its a wonder how she cooks such great food with such little practice.
