Move #1: To Preston's Parents

Well, this move actually took place on Jan. 1st. We moved from Rexburg to Preston's parent's house in Boise. We are here until we find a house. We want to buy and move in before the baby comes at the end of March but I'm not opposed to bringing the little one back to Craig and Debra's house if things don't work out.

Any how, we left Bosie the day after Christmas to go home to pack and then the next weekend we moved. Craig and Debra came down to help. Here are a few of the pictures I took, but don't expect much, I didn't take many.

These next 2 pictures have an interesting story. Preston and I dismantled Sharli's changing table. Sharli watched us through the whole process. It wasn't hard. Just remove some bolts and the shelves detach from the sides... (it's harder to explain the process than it was to actually take it down. Then we bundled the sides together and propped it against the wall. Then we moved on to some stuff downstairs. Sharli followed us and after a while I noticed that she picked up a box of screws. I didn't think much of it until she wasn't down stairs anymore. I went in search of the little one and found her in right by her dismantled change table with a bunch of screws scattered around. I was about to get after her but then I noticed something about all the bolt holes in the changing table. Look closely at the picture and maybe you can see what I saw.




There are screws in the bold holes!!! I guess she has inherited her mommy and daddy's "mechanical" minds.

I was sooo amazed by her peceptiveness. And all this at only 22 months old. Sharli is a smart, observant little girl.



So after we got all packed... You all know how moving works.


You pack the truck...

You keep packing the truck...


You take silly pictures of your husband who's packing the truck...

You then take pictures of your daughter who got into the treats that were for those who were packing the truck...

And then you forget to take any more pictures the rest of the time that you're moving. Craig and Debra were there helping us even if you can't see them in any of the pictures. And don't worry, I didn't help move too many boxes, especially not the heavy ones. My back was starting to hurt pretty bad then, though it wasn't as bad as it does now. (Thrity four weeks along really changes the way you appreciate your back.

Anyhow, to make a long story short, we got to Craig and Debra's without any problems. Unpacked everything into the basement and we've been living here ever sense.

Preston got a job at the end of January working as a teller at Washington Trust Bank. He's still waiting to hear from the Geology Masters program at Boise State University to see if he'll be accepted to start this fall.

Me, I'm due to have a baby girl on March 27th so I'm just staying home trying to keep myself busy. Like I said before, my back is really hurting me and I think I've pulled a groin muscle so I'm trying to take it easy. I don't think I was in as good shape as I was when I got pregnant with Sharli so it's taking it's toll.

We've been looking at houses since around Thanksgiving and have finally found one that we like and we can afford (funny how those two need to go together). We're scheduled to close on March 26th, yes the day before my due date, but we have been told it would probably close on the 19th. That's what we're banking on. March 26th is also when the Rexburg house is supposed to close so I think this will be good timing.

Sharli is just as cute and sweet as ever so not much more to say there. I think I'm pretty much caught up on current life so I think I will end this post here. Have a great day!
