"Because I knew you, I have been changed for good..."

Moving day came and went and we survived.
Barely.
But we did survive.

I cannot even begin to tell you how tired I am of packing our stuff up in boxes and hauling those boxes out to a big truck.

Last time.
(for a LONG while, hopefully!)
Yay!

Another chapter in our lives closed.

It is exciting to be done with Grad School, but also so hard to say goodbye.

The truck.
Thanks to several wonderful friends/neighbors for hauling all of
our stuff down two flights of stairs and out to the truck.
It was a mad house at our home for a few days....




Saying our last goodbyes to such wonderful friends was tough.
We have LOVED associating with you as friends and neighbors!
You will be missed!

Becky and Avery.
Thatch giving his good bud Charlie a goodbye hug.
Cute little Luca. When we first moved to Westgate he was just a baby!
Charlie and Luca's Mom Kate is one of the funniest girls I know and I will miss her.
She cheered up many of my grey days.
Little Presley, affectionately known at our house as "Pres".
Cutest little girl, I got to teach her Joy School and Thatcher AND Tagg (brother riverly) just love Pres. We didn't get to say goodbye to Ella Bella and Elijah, Thatcher's other Joy School friends, but fast forward 13+ years and picture these kids living at Helaman Halls at BYU?
The moms would LOVE it that is for sure! :)

Thatcher saying goodbye to Dylan.
Thatcher has always looked up to Dylan ever since we first moved in.
Some of the Westgate girls on one last Girls Night Out at Cheesecake Factory.
(missing some of my dear friends, Christine and Mia)
I cannot tell you how much I love these women.
I don't know what I would have done without them as a support group over the last two years.
All of them are amazing, and I will miss just being around them and seeing their beautiful smiling faces on the Westgate playground.

I am a better person because I knew them.
I really have been changed for good.



Todd pulling away in the truck driving our stuff down to Texas.
Don't worry, he is not only driving the biggest truck you can rent, but he is also towing our van.
Love it.
Just in case you wanted to actually watch him drive away, we have this little video.

Goodbye Cambridge/MIT/Westgate.
We have loved you.
You will always be in our hearts and the memories we have with you we will treasure forever.

Ummmmmm.... You thanked your neighbors and Friends for helping you pack up, I feel like you are missing one more person who helped you guys for 14 hours. Hmmmmmmm..... who could it be???

Also I agree with rebecca, that movie was worth 40 seconds of my life.
