Day of Cleaning, Last Day in IL and Dinner with Friends
Well, the movers came yesterday and packed up the truck and everything! We didn’t think we would fill a 52 foot truck, but we did! 🙂
The movers were REALLY tired after having moved all of our food storage. 🙂
Brittany’s friends came over while the movers were there and said their final good-bye’s. She was very sad. The mailman also stopped by to say good bye as well! 🙂 He is such a great guy and has been so nice to everyone, especially the kids! Every day they would wave and he would stop and say hi. Not sure we’ll ever have a mailman like that again. Brittany wanted her picture taken with him also so we did. Her friends thought she was WAY STRANGE!
Today was all about cleaning! Some sisters in the ward came over to help and that really was a great act of service they did for us! We had worked hard to get things straightened up, but when they were done, the house looked amazing! Thanks to everyone who helped! Shortly thereafter, we left the house for the last time. We took pictures of all the empty rooms and it was crazy to think we would never set foot in that house again. 🙁 We had complained a lot about little things with the house in the past, but it was still hard to leave.
Tonight we were homeless so we went to the Oscarson’s, some of our best friends and ate dinner and stayed with them. We will sure miss their family. We have had some great times together! The boys sure are going to miss “Uncle Dan” a ton!
Tomorrow we’re leaving early to drive out to Colorado and get things set on that end! Thank you SO much to everyone who made the last 18 years in Illinois wonderful ones! We will never forget all the memories we have made with you and for the friendship you extended to all of us! 🙂
