Moving

I'm posting early because soon I will be gone from our new home in the basement of my in-laws off camping with Chris's best friends. I wanted to do a short feel of how it has been moving and being our of our first home together because it has been more of a big deal than I expected. Our moving day started with Chris going to his last final as I packed up the remainder of our possessions and had Claire running all over the place in a much more empty apartment than she is used to. When Chris got home, we packed up the trailer and truck we borrowed from his dad and my little car's trunk as well. The only things left out was a vacuum, broom, mop, garbage can, some cleaning rags, and a few things from the fridge to take with us. We went to our dentist appointments and when we got back Chris vacuumed the back rooms and left with the truck and trailer to start unloading in Blackfoot.

I finished the cleaning with help from Claire...haha not help exactly, but with the company of Claire for sure. I had our check out by the manager and headed straight to a graduation celebration at Texas Roadhouse, then headed to our new temporary home to set up a place to sleep for the night. The rest of this week has been unpacking a few things we will need for a few months and getting settled in of a sorts in the two rooms we have. I wasn't exactly excited about moving into our parent's basement for a few reasons, mainly the bad stereotype that comes with it and they aren't my parents so I'm not as comfortable with how the house is run of course. We plan on being the best children that have ever moved back into any parents house by helping with projects, cleaning, cooking, and anything else we can think of to make it easier and not be guilty about free rent.

Now onto the sentimental part of this post that comes from moving away from the first home Chris and I made together. Rexburg was the best starting place we could have hoped for and we were amazingly lucky to have moved in to that particular neighborhood. The people I have met and made friendships with will never be forgotten, and I am so grateful for the chance we had to start our family in the area. I would highly recommend surrounding yourself with people who are in similar situations as you like we were able to do with a married student ward. Our little home, for me, was fun to decorate with pictures and playing in the garden was a fun experiment and I was very happy to have the wonderful start we had in Rexburg.
