I am SO glad it's Thursday!

Most people get excited for the weekends... around here, we're excited it's Thursday! What's the big deal you ask? Well, the sale of our home was made official Wednesday. So, what does Thursday mean to me....... no more packing of boxes, no more putting the kids to bed at Grandma's, and then leaving to go to the house to clean, or pack until midnight, no more stressing over other peoples money.... will it be there or not.
I have been very absent from blogging the last few weeks. As you know, we have been a little more than busy. The original plan was to be moved out before we left for San Diego.... but anyone who has sold a house knows that things don't always go as planned. There is ALWAYS some sort of delay.... and because of our delays, it took until yesterday to finalize things.
We are happy to report though, that things are final, and we will be signing on our home in Kaysville tomorrow. Yes, Kaysville. It's the farthest we have lived from home (Bountiful), with the exception of Gary's mission, and the semester I spent at USU. It sounds so far away, but in reality, it's only about 15-20 mins from our parents homes and will only add about 10 mins onto Gary's commute.
I will post pics of the new house once papers are signed and we are in. I hate to curse anything, but it seems very certain that this is where we're going to be. We are currently living with my parents in their basement, not ideal for any of us, but we are so grateful for their generosity and willingness to allow us to stay here for 2 weeks. We will be able to start moving in next Wednesday-Thursday, so we should only be imposing on my parents for about another week.
We are SO very grateful for those who have helped us to move over these last few weeks. We have been moving things slowly over the last few weeks to my Grandma's garage, and then did the last big move on Saturday. It took all day and lots of willing hands to make it possible and we are so thankful to our family for helping us!
We also had a GREAT time in San Diego! It was so nice to get away and not worry about all that was going on here. We really just left it all behind and enjoyed every minute we had together! What a blessing to be able to go as a family-- ALL 4 OF US-- and enjoy a vacation. We hit some of the big attractions.... Sea World (twice), The San Diego Zoo, the beach, tide pools, Old Town (for great Mexican food, and Coldstone). I will do a seperate post all about San Diego with pics and all the info later. We were able to go with our good friends the Pounders and their kids and had such an awesome time! Thanks Pounders for the invite!
I hope to be back up and blogging here very soon.... pictures and all. The kids are doing great, and Lucy is healing well. Thanks for checking in on us!
