Going Back

It's been a whirlwind of a summer with some special and Fabulous times. GramE came up for a few weeks to help out after Anson was born. We are so grateful for her help. She pretty much packed our house, and kept the kids well entertained. A week before we moved, Richard and his family came from Minnesota, and Nicole and her family and GramE came up and we all met at our house. They were only here for a day, but it was great seeing everyone again.

The cousins who came to meet Anson!

Our last Sunday in Rexburg we were able to bless Anson. Most of Chances family was there and GramE and Karissa. It was a special and tender day. It was hard to say goodbye to our awesome ward and Bishop. We are so grateful for our bishop, Bishop Simpson, and the wonderful man that he is and all that he taught us.
After all the fun, we packed and cleaned and packed and cleaned... kind of. We did go to the sand dunes a few times with the Freeman's for some fun in between all the packing. We just couldn't let those precious last few days in Rexburg be spent doing unfun things. Oh, how we loved our Rexburg days! Thanks so much to Eraleigh, Timmerie, Grandma Rima and Karissa we were able to get everything done. They pretty much cleaned the whole house. We said goodbye to Hillary and Cameron the day before we left and had faith that we would fit everything into our truck after seeing that they were able to make everything fit. Well moving day came, and the truck was packed to the MAX. We said goodbye to all of our great friends and family and started the trip to Spokane. Karissa came along and drove with me in the car while Chance drove the truck with one of the kids. We stopped for the night with Mike and Richelle, it was a nice break from all the moving. When we arrived in Spokane we were greeted by a moving crew and Aubry! We are so grateful for all of her help. We loved the last few years, but are excited for the adventures ahead. Pfeww. What a month!
