Another exciting fact is that we closed on our house 2 weeks ago! It is such a great feeling to not have to worry about it. We love the couple that bought it, and I have been detaching from it, and am quite excited for our new adventure. What a change of heart! Stephen had 3 days off this week, and we got everything down from the attic, mostly sorted, and sent a dozen tubs down to Mom's house for storage while we are away. Speaking of my wonderful mother, she took Elise and Mason to Corvallis for a fun weekend so that Stephen and I could pack. Which we did!
Yesterday Stephen emptied the shed, cleaned it up, sorted through and packed everything and now it is working as our "garage" - holding moving stuff. Ward members have been so generous in sharing their moving boxes, so after Stephen's last day of work (Aug. 8 - he is going through withdrawals...) we can pack up all non-essential items and be off! The plan is to load up the truck on the 14th and leave early on the 15th. Crazy. So soon! We are really leaving.
Having one child all weekend has been really weird for me. We are probably spoiling him! I have so much time, and I'm not used to it, so I am sure that I haven't used it to its fullest potential. :o) When I only had Elise I couldn't get anything done, when Mason came along I couldn't do much - but if I only had one, I could do lots! Now that I have 3 kids I can do a fair amount, and if I only have 2 -- it is so easy, and just 1 - I am amazing, although a little lost without interruptions!
Happy Sabbath!

It's truly beautiful! I was reading a sermon by Orson Pratt today, he said we should have food storage. Not quite in those words, but I thought it was interesting how old the commandment to be prepared is.
Good job with the food storage! That is GREAT! You've reinspired me to call our cannery here (like I've meant to for two weeks), so hopefully I can actually find the number this time. It sounds like you guys have gotten a lot of packing done. I'm sure everyone else is not looking forward to you guys moving. :-( Good luck with the rest of it!!
