Yes, we did move

The reason we had so much family in town is because my parents left for their mission! (see missionaries) Leeds England! How cool is that?

Anyways, we decided to move into their house to take care of it, and rent out ours. Shouldn't be too hard, right? HA! Trying packing with a 2 month old. Doesn't happen! I'm indebted to my sister and Lindsey for packing my ENTIRE kitchen.

So, add in trying to help parents get ready to leave, by going over to their house every free night to learn more about their house and things to make sure it all gets taken care of.

Don't forget to actually spend time with family while they are in town.

Then oh yeah, live your normal busy life of work and church.

Then you also must remember to keep the house clean so that you can show it off to potential renters.

Then add in a 2 month old with shots the day before you are moving. (Lack of planning and unforseen circumstances caused this.)

And don't forget to go back to first house to show it to potential renters, because you have tons of spare time.


Then

house full of belongings already + all of your belongings = my current state of entropy




Isn't it lovely!

(yes, I just took these pictures, and believe it or not, this is an improvement!)

That's sure a lot on your plate!! That's awesome about your parents and that you can help them out while they're gone. Does renting out your place cover your mortgage? We've looked into what we'd have to do if we needed to move and it was definitely not a good option for us. Hope it's working out and good luck!!

Yeah, don't start thinking that those huge pile of boxes are because of some lazy husband or something. I've already cleaned out the office and quite a bit from the garage. Odd place to start, but it had to be done.
