Tomorrow we leave.
Levi is bounding with joy and excited to help put anything in the car.
Owen is worn out from the week.
The car is packed, and without a cartop carrier. Between my purging and organizing and Devin's packing the car, we were three boxes and a vacuum short (and a stroller which is not to be discussed!). And my motherinlaw is bringing those to us in two weeks. Seriously all our clothes, a few toys and books, kitchen items, linens AND the boys' BIKES (that was the line I drew, no stroller than the bikes are a must!) all in the back of our jetta; and there is still an open seat in the back if anyone wants to cram in! :-)

The past month has been crazy, the boys have been at each other from lack of attention and the presence of stress, and I have been exhausted! But we have been blessed....

Devin's grandparents have offered to let us stay with them the WHOLE 8months were are in Idaho. Which we are extremely grateful for but REALLY want to be on our own again....
AND yesterday we found out we will have an apartment, in the same complex as our last, on October 11th!!! Huge stress relieve! I don't think there was a single prayer said without, 'please bless us with a house by Uncle Mark's' (full story below). Prayers are answered.
And the dental office where Devin works totally spoiled all of us with gifts at a goodbye lunch, which is probably why Levi is excited to get in the car (the girls told him the ninja turtles are not to be opened until we are in the car). We are going to miss each one of them so much! no matter how much Devin brushes it off and complains about 'all the girlness'
And of course Nana had completely spoiled the boys the past few days, which they LOVE. As excited as they are I think it wont be week before the reality of her not being there to sneak them candy sinks in.

We are excited to start a new adventure as we look back on this past year and see all the love and support we've had in all of our craziness. We are truly grateful for everyone who had offered a kind word, advice, support, laughed and cried with us and know we wouldn't be here without it all! THANK YOU and wish us luck!!!!
