Day Two of Packing...

I figured I would snap a picture of our family room....that is almost all that is left (in the house) that needs to go in the truck by way of boxes and misc.!!! Don't get me wrong...there is still our room to be finished, a few more boxes to be packed in the kitchen and a whole garage to get in order and on the truck...and there are still bunk beds to be taken apart and some furniture to be loaded...but SO MUCH was done today!!!!

Bryan moved what seemed like thousands of pounds of furniture and boxes...with the help of a dolly and this huge belt that he used to tie the dressers onto the dolly. The "belt" was something he had to use for physical therapy on his knee and he just knew there would be something else he could use it for one day, so he held on to it. We both got a good chuckle with just how handy that thing came in today!:) He also had a lot of help from his kids...especially Titus. Wherever Dad is...that's where Titus wants to be! The boys also got in a couple of hours of hockey in the backyard with their new "Christmas" hockey sticks!:)

It was a long day...but there was so much to be thankful for:

-temperatures that topped 50 degrees....and we even got to see our mountains today! Truth is, this time of year we could easily be dealing with freezing temps. not to mention snow or rain!

-approval to take our vehicles into Canada! Whew...what a relief to have that one out of the way.

-a fruitful drive to find Tessie's vet:) and an appt. for next week to get the "official" paperwork we need for her!:)

-a washer and dryer that doesn't require breaks and keeps cleaning and drying away!:)

-friends who took time to come help us with the "heavy stuff" and share in our day

But most of all, for a faithful God Who never slumbers or sleeps or grows tired like we do!
