Moving and A Wake

We have packed the house, loaded it into the trailer, had a wonderful wake, and will sign on two houses this week.
We have been very busy and couldn't have done it without the help of many, many people.

Sweetheart played games with his friends. He has enjoyed playing Conflict of Heroes. While he played games, Underfoot, Hurricane, and I saw the LDS Tucson Temple construction,
used a birthday gift card for Legos at Toys R Us, used another birthday gift card at Bookmans and played Pokemon there, and shopped for the last few items of food.

Our family birthday was celebrated by packing the attic, garage, and unloading the storage unit we got for showing the house.
Sweetheart had an allergic reaction in the middle and had to stop. We were invited for supper at the Carpenter home and enjoyed hamburgers and hot dogs. On Monday, we enjoyed homemade fondue.

Sunday we hosted the last Young Single Adult supper for members of our congregation. We extended the table to its full length, and everyone had a place at the table.
Underfoot and G took a picture at the YSA dinner. They are really great friends.
We really love our table and the memories that have been made around it.

Many hands came to our rescue and aid as we finalized the packing and loading of the semi-trailer. The miracle is everything fit in the trailer. We packed rooms during the day with help. Sweetheart packed the garage by night or worked on the International Harverster Scout.
On Thursday and Saturday, men came to help Sweetheart load the trailer. Because of their help we accomplished a mountain of work. The men were helpful to Sweetheart make sure that the load fit tightly and safely. We are grateful for the many hands and hearts that helped us.

On Saturday, we attended the nicest wake ever. Many people came through to share memories and to wish us well.
R. N., Baby M, and I took at picture at the wake.
We were overwhelmed by the love that was shared.

Underfoot finished his Cub Scout Bear Rank and was awarded the rank this last Tuesday at Pack meeting.
He was given the microphone and shared how he earned some of his awards. I have also been working on the Young Women Personal Progress program. The program is designed for youth ages 12-18 to bring them closer to Christ. Adult women who are interested may do the program as well. I finished this on Sunday, had an interview with my Bishop, and was given the award during our church services.
I was really surprised to be presented in front of the congregation.

The best part of living here is Hurricane! He is our gem from the desert.
 
We have much to accomplish this week. We hope for a smooth week. Prayers would be graciously accepted.
Be Well.
