We're back and better than ever!!!!

So, it's been a while, and LOTS has happened...where do I start? First off, let me say that Greg deserves the "HUBBY OF THE YEAR" award for being so amazing this past week.

MOVING DAY...
Saturday morning I caught the inevitable flu and was no help at all. Luckily we had Greg's family and lots of unexpected help from our old ward...it was such a blessing. There were about 10 adults there to help and it worked out so beautifully! So...they got the truck loaded up and I was so glad to see so many people come to help. I had horrible nightmares of Greg being there loading up that entire 26 foot truck all by himself.

THEN...as they were finishing the first load we get a call from Greg's grandma to check out the news, there was a fire in Corona. And with our luck, there was...not too far away from our new home but the wind was blowing it the opposite direction. So, Greg got in the truck and headed up, hoping that they wouldn't close the 91 freeway, and he beat them closing it by minutes!!

As he got here he discovered that there were people from our ward that were being evacuated and that the able bodied men were helping them get out (obviously a first priority!!) so again, I thought it was just going to be Greg and his super sisters to unload that entire truck, but somehow the tender mercies of the Lord had people there to help them unload!!!

So, they got most of the stuff there and off the truck, but they had to come all the way down south through Escondido to get home (a total of 200 miles round trip) but they all made it back.

Crazy, right?? So, the next day Greg and my brother and Greg's dad loaded up the rest of the stuff and we headed up to Corona again. Things were a bit smoother this time and we headed back to the OC.

So, where does that leave us now?

Last night was our first night in our house. Greg's parents were sweet enough to let us bury ourselves on their couch for a few days while we tried to get everything in order. Yesterday we came and unpacked TONS of stuff and got the place ready. Thankfully we had handy helper Grandpa on hand to put together Karyl's "Big Girl" bed and she even slept in it last night with her Princess sheets!!

We love our new house and enjoyed staying here last night. One thing we have learned though...wood floors are not condusive to sneaking around past kid's doors at night....we need to put our rugs down!!

I will post pics when I find the cord for my camera, and until then we hope that you will all get to come visit us when we get settled in and we can't wait to let you know what happens!!
