Never again...

Okay I will never pack and load a Uhaul to move again. From now on I will ALWAYS hire movers, I don't care how much is costs. Thankfully we had help from my brother, Richard's dad and Andy so we are thankful for that.
Here is the deal...we have too much junk! And maybe this happens when you have children but seriously! You never know how much junk you have until you are faced with having to pack it all and somehow make it all fit into a 17' truck (we should have gotten the 24' truck).
Our lease ended yesterday so we were forced to get out of the apartment yet we can't move in to the house until this Saturday so we have the packed Uhaul parked in my dad's driveway and we are living out of boxes for a week. We are thankful that we had somewhere to go.
As my brother was helping us he asked Richard if we had ever thought of throwing anything away and Richard told him that we did...2 phone books. wow! Talk about pack rats! Do we really need that entire box of super heroes that Daniel doesn't touch? What about those posters Richard had up in his dorm room in college? Do we need those? Richard, do you really need that hideous purple (yes purple) sweater you wore years ago? And who on earth let you buy that?
We did have a few laughs so that was good:)

Our next step is to close on the house on Wednesday and move in on Saturday...keep your fingers crossed for us. I will write more once we are in and settled. Life is good:)

"I will not use my Taekwondo when I am sad or mad"

This past weekend Daniel had his Taekwondo test to receive his yellow belt. He stood up there and recited all of the rules and even showed his new moves. He did so well and we were so proud of him. Everything was "Yes ma'am, no ma'am"...it was a new Daniel I had never seen before:) Here are some pictures from the test...doesn't he look so small in his uniform? He is such a ham!

Yes we are voting!

Yes, Richard is right, everyone should watch this video that he attached below but please know that we are both voting...after seeing Richard's headline I panicked that everyone would think we weren't but we are:)

I love you honey:) ha!

That's it, I'm not voting!!!

I found this floating around and I know everyone needs at least one more person telling them how important it is to vote (or not).. So there.
