And...We're Off!

Living in Nebraska, in a manufactured home, has been a little nerve-racking at times. When a "real" house opened up across from the feedlot, Scott didn't hesitate to request a transfer. It's an older house but bigger and definitely more sturdy.

So. Here we go again. (I really hope we don't make moving a summer tradition.) Thankfully it's just the home location that is changing this time. And thankfully the kids are a little older and a little more help. Morgan packed two boxes of food from the pantry. Scott could barely lift them but she was so pleased with herself.

Morgan & Zane are excited to be moving into a bigger house. Their bedrooms are right next to each other so they will be "neighbors." They were actually glad to see the bunk beds come apart.

On the wall at the new house is an old, yellow phone. It's a push button dial but it's still old. (Probably the first push button phone invented.) The kids have had fun pretending to call all their family and friends on that phone. (Yes Brit, you have been called from the yellow phone.) Last night Zane said, "I can't believe we have a cell phone on the wall of our new house, that doesn't even work!" He seems to think all phones are cell phones.

I spent last week cleaning and doing a little painting. Saturday we moved a load of stuff over and Scott is anxious for me to pack more boxes for him to move. If only we could put LIFE on hold while we are packing. Unfortunately, there is still laundry, and dishes, and grocery shopping, and all the necessities of living that must be done as well. And it's the end of the 2nd quarter so I have more work to do. (Payroll reports must be filed before my office can be moved.)

We have to get everything moved so we can go on vacation to Grandma's house. Sometimes it helps to have a deadline and a reward to motivate you.
