Packing Up {for the big move}

I'm SO close to being caught up!

It's helping that aside from working 6 hours a day,

organizing our new place,

and actually cooking our meals,

I've got a lot of time on my hands!!

Today, you get to see pics from our 'packing the truck' day!

First of all - even though we have been here for three weeks

(wow! Three weeks? Where did the time go?)

we are STILL SO GRATEFUL for all of the help we had

loading, packing, cleaning 

and we loved spending time with the people that we love

through doing this!!

We are so blessed to have so much support!!

And also, we are SO GRATEFUL that even though there was a lot to do,

the adults who helped us obliged our requests

and brought their kiddos -

we were squeezing in every last bit of time with them that we could!

Okay, okay ... here are the pics!

 

... visits ...

... still playing catch up - sorry :)

The hardest part about moving to Oregon

was saying goodbye to the people that we love!

A few weeks before we made the big drive,

we spent the day in Salt Lake with Nate's grandparents

and some aunts/uncles/cousins!

It was such a wonderful day

and we had such great visits with all of them!

We are so grateful for their support and their love!

Wonderful Harrison Family

Beautiful Grandma Law

And on the following Sunday, 

we spent the morning with my sweet Grandma!

We are so blessed to have such wonderful families and we love them so much!!

Hillcrest Park & Aggie Ice Cream

... still playing catch up!!

A while back, Nate & I met up with his brother, Joe,

and his family up at Hillcrest Park!! 

We had dinner, played, then had some

yummy Aggie Ice Cream!!

I posted about it on our family blog,

and I'm too lazy to upload all the photos again,

 so if you want to see pics,

Hillcrest Park & Aggie Ice Cream 

Reinart Volunteer Park

We found a fantastic, gigantic, beautiful park

that is pretty close to our new place!

We went out the other night

and had a little fun with the camera!!

 
 We are loving getting to know the area
and finding all of the fun things to do here!!

Downtown Logan

Yup ...

I said Logan ...

Still catching up ...

My office in Logan was located downtown,

and I absolutely loved going to work

simply because I got to see this:

The office that I worked in was perfect for down town!

It was remodeled right before I started, and they did a beautiful job!

I worked in that office for 5 1/2 years, so I snapped a few photos of the inside, too!

And of course, I had to get photos with the ladies on my last day!

(Steph - sorry I didn't get one with you! I still love you!!)

Working from home has been a big transition, 

and while I'm definitely grateful that I can continue working

for this wonderful office, it's very different from working with these wonderful ladies!!

Oh, and one last photo - in June, I posted this post: Hey Girl, 

with these pictures that I made for the ladies at work!

They collaborated and made me one of my own!!

 As you can see, we had a lot of fun together,
and it was an awesome office to work with!!

impermanent, and uncertain. Therefore, we must make use of every moment 

and nurture it with affection, tenderness, beauty, creativity, and laughter."
