My Pickle Ball friends threw me a going away party. NOT a goodbye party! Just a see you later party. We had pizza and lots of snacks. We played lots of fun games and laughed a lot. Oh man, I'm gonna miss seeing these ladies on a regular basis. But I will definitely still see them often. Thank you so much friends! I love you forever!
It was Olivia's first dance recital! We had a ball watching her and she had a huge smile on her face the entire time. She did so great!
The day has come. We are really selling our house. We are excited to move to Bear Lake, but sad about leaving our home of 27 years. We've had the best neighbors ever while we've been in this house. That's mostly what has kept us here for so long. We've spent most of our married lives here, raised the kids here, added Karlee to our family and became grandparents. We had two great dogs and one bad cat in this house, not to mention three gerbils and a few fish. We've grown and learned and have been surrounded by so many wonderful examples. We're gonna miss our Smithfield friends and our Smithfield home so much!
The kids came up for a sleepover on Mother's Day weekend while Colton and Karlee celebrated their belated anniversary. Little Man wasn't feeling well and had a fever. He was lethargic and didn't want to do anything except snuggle me. Not anyone else, just me. Clint and Kori and Wes took over charge of the girls while I held Aubrey. He could not sleep, and we had cleared out our house to get it ready to sell, so I finally got a blanket and pillow and just laid on the living room floor and held him all night long. It was very sweet for me, even if I didn't get any sleep. Aubrey and I totally bonded that night. When Karlee and Colton got back on Saturday, they took me and Grammie out for dinner at El Toro, yum! We gave Karlee some fridge organizing containers for Mother's Day. Clint and Kori were here on Sunday to celebrate. Clint gave me a funny card and some Almond Roca, Kori gave me a super cute lei t-shirt, and Wes gave me money for a new bra. Aubrey was sick all weekend. Karlee finally took him to the doc on Monday who said he probably had a virus. He was feeling better and all perked up by Tuesday, thank goodness!
Things are getting real around here. Wes and I hosted a rockin' two day moving sale. The whole backyard was full of stuff. I was so overwhelmed Friday morning. I thought we'd have stuff on our lawn for a month! But people showed up and people bought stuff! The tools went really fast, as well as the vinyl records. Some of the furniture sold along with several pairs of cross country skis and boots. Our two day total was $2,600! We couldn't believe it! At the end of the day Saturday we had one truck load to take to the DI and a few random furniture pieces, and that was it. Cha-ching! Tuesday the movers showed up and took away most of our house. We left our bed, a few kitchen things and some random items to help stage the house. We're pretty much camping out for a couple of weeks until we get the house sold. We will list it next week.
