Shopping with Janna

Today we took the extra beds and some other stuff to storage and took the truck back to the Uhaul place. Then Janna, Bailee and I went shopping. I found a cute skirt and top at Kohl's and Bailee got 2 outfits at JC Penney's. I also got my new IPOD. I used the money from selling my stuff to buy it and now I just have to get the Itunes store working. Janna tried to get it working but couldn't and neither could their support service. So Janna sent them an Email and maybe they will tell me how to do this. I think something is wrong with my account. It won't let me buy any songs. I also bought a pair of boots for the snow. I only had tennis shoes and they just get wet in the snow.
We came home and I made dinner and we watch Secretariat. It was a good movie. Now we are watching Alpha and Omega. Funny show especially when they take the wolves to Idaho from Canada.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful today for my Tommy. He is trying so hard to help with all this stuff. I love him and hope he will be happy up here. If summer ever comes it will help both of us.
Luke 12 - Luke 13  In verse 48 it says where much is given much is required. We who have the gospel will be held at a higher standard than those who don't. We are required to serve with all our might. I hope to always be able to do my part.

Put in Storage

Garth and Austin carrying Food Storage.

 Harley Ann with two boxes at a time. Must be from lifting those 100 lb hay bales.

 Here we all are minus "Hump", Scott's best friend. I think he's hiding somewhere. 

We got up and started rearranging bedrooms. Bailee is letting Grandma and Grandpa have her room and she is sleeping in Austin's room on the bunk beds from my downstairs kids room. Tommy set up our comfy bed in Bailee's room. It just looked so inviting I wanted to get in. LOL.. But too much to do still. We went over at the storage unit at 1pm and Garth and Scott Humphrey's "Hump" showed up and we had the whole thing unloaded in about an hour. It's so much easier to unload than load. And I felt better because I really don't have so much stuff. My food storage is the biggest thing and I decided I wasn't going to be without it. It's the end of a long day and we are all very tired. Scott made us dinner and we watch the Aero Alaska series on TV and now I'm going to bed. What a relief to finally be almost done with everything.

Grateful Statement: I am grateful for friends that come to help. I have been so blessed with this move. So many people so willing to help.

Luke 11 - Luke 12 I love verse 9 and 10, "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." These verses give me so much hope.



Made It To Idaho

Molly laid on the seat beside me the whole way with only 2 potty stops.

 Tommy up ahead going through South County construction. Yikes!

 Just ate lunch at Denny's in Tremonton and we're on our way again.

So many wonderful people showed up this morning to help us pack up the moving van and all my food storage. Harrison, Hayden and Hannah packed up food storage for me. I wish I would have gotten pictures. They worked really hard pulling a dolly with boxes stacked on it up my sidewalk. We got the bulk of it done and we still have a few things to finish. We aren't closing on the 4th of March so I have a couple more weeks which helps tons to get the rest of this done. We left at noon and started out. Janna drove the moving van, Tommy drove Janna's excursion with a big trailer behind and I brought up the rear in Tommy's truck pulling a little trailer. I had to stay behind Tommy because the trailer lights quit working. It was hard getting through South County because it was raining hard and my eyes were driving me nuts from trying to see through the windshield. It did get better farther up the road. We stopped in Tremonton for lunch/dinner. I didn't even realize I hadn't eaten all day and started at 3am finishing up the last things. Cleaning the fridge and packing pillows and blankets. I am watching some basketball thing in Janna's family room. I can't keep my eyes open so I'm going to bed.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for all my friends and neighbors that came to help. I was just about ready to give it up and here they came.
Luke 10 - Luke 11  In the parable of Mary and Martha I think it would be hard to sit and listen but worry about if He was comfortable or hungary. Or to sit and listen to every word. I think maybe we need Martha's and Mary's in this world. Or maybe to be both...

No More Boxes to Pack

Janna and I finally finished packing boxes. It was such a relief to have it all done. Ann and her hubby came by to visit with us. She has been a good friend of Janna for a long time. They are going to come and help us tomorrow. Hopefully we will have lots of help with packing the truck. Now it's bed time so we can be up early and ready to start.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the years I have spent in this ward. I have met amazing people and made amazing friends. I have been truly blessed.
Luke 9 - Luke 10  How hard for Jesus to know what was to come and have people reject him.

More Packing

We only have part of the kitchen left and the bathroom and we are packed up. Janna and I took a trailer to the dump and a trailer to DI. We packed up my office with all my pictures. Now that's a lot of pictures. We are now ready for tomorrow. It is so freeing to be getting rid of so much stuff. I am not taking on anymore hobbies in this life time. If I get my genealogy done and my pictures scrapped I'll be doing good. Now I must go to bed. I am TIRED!
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for DI and that they will use the stuff I don't want anymore.
Luke 8 - Luke 9  As I read this verse it made me wonder if I have enough faith, "And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him."

Janna to the Rescue

Janna arrived at about 9am and we started packing up and sorting. We did the scrap room and the storage room and my sewing room. So much stuff. But we did it. My entire basement is packed up and bags ready for DI and the dump. We are on a roll. Of course we have to have a storm right in the middle of all this. We sold the dining room set, power sewing machine, cutting table, book cases, two TV's and my knitting machine with all the yarn. Wahoo, less to move. It went so fast with my daughters help.
Grateful Statement: Today I am truly grateful for my dear daughter who came to work so hard for me. She is the best.

More Packing and Janna is Coming

I spent the day packing more boxes and getting rid of tons of stuff and shredding check and bank records and I now have 100 cases of food storage ready to go to Idaho. I think we may have to make another trip. Janna is coming down after work to help me. I so need her to make decisions about stuff. Especially the scrap room. So tomorrow should be a good day.
I talked with Amie and Harrison went to school today. The day went well for him. He checked his blood and gave himself his insulin. He has this down pat. What a smart boy. I just love him to pieces.
Janna called at 7pm and said she was getting up early and heading down. She was just too tired and didn't want to drive in the dark. Bedtime now!
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for a sore back and aching muscles. It means I'm working hard.
Luke 7 - Luke 8  I love verse 22 "Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached."
