Meet the Movers

We were so blessed to have these two handsome movers come and help with all the work. I had tried so hard to prepare and pack but there are always last minute things, from loading the truck (along with a huge group of our Elders Quorum - THANKS GUYS!), to helping me clean up, to entertaining the desperate-for-attention children, these two were a life saver.Uncle Heath and Tyler are two peas in a pod . . . they've even been confused as blood brothers before and it's no wonder why. I'm so glad thankful for my big brother and though they won't admit it, they're pretty good buddies. Here they are enjoying our "furniture" - we had to borrow air mattresses for the last two nights because all the furniture was in the truck (I do mean ALL).
Uncle Heath has a weak spot for little blonde girls and she enjoyed all the attention she got.
Uncle Nolan weathered the affection really well, especially considering how much sleep he didn't get while he was with us. I don't know how we would have gotten that truck to Utah without them - they drove straight through (thanks to a lot of legal stimulants and junk food).

Thanks to ALL the people who helped with the move, the sweet friend who prepared a travel kit for my kids on the long drive, the one who dropped off a care package the morning we left, the ones who came and scrubbed my kitchen floor, the ones who fed us for the last 2 days we were there, all the men who loaded the truck, the ladies who brought me boxes, the ones who took my kids while I packed. We love our Texas family!

Whoa! That "Uncle Heath" mover looks nice!! I'm glad that loads of people were there to help you get packed. Moving is never as easy as it should be.:)
