persevering in spite of the chaos

Packing is bad but packing with a nursing infant and an almost 2 year old felt impossible at times.  Thank the Lord for the amazing Ekornes family because we may have not made the deadline.






December 26th we drove back from Rapid City after celebrating Christmas.  We were meant with a large semi like truck and a very nice man willingly taking our $3,000.  Haha.  Imagine that.  This really kicked us in the gut.  We knew the move was happening and quick but never really imagined how fast everything went.  I mean we just said yes to this promotion 3 1/2 weeks ago! 

Movie watching was unfortunately a staple need for me to get any packing done so now my daughter is addicted to the Incredibles, Monsters, Despicable Me and Finding Nemo.  Not to mention she watched movies the entire ride to Texas as well.  Anyway...Just right that in my "Mom of the Year" book because this wont be the last of these moments.

The truck was big and we thought...Oh well we are easily going to make this!



We don't have that much stuff!






Well we do, and we filled this truck up (and by the way that was actually an accomplishment because they quoted us at needing 1 1/2 trucks for the size of a home)

 
This is actually not the end.  We packed this thing to the very end and then even began throwing items and hoping they would catch on something.  The driver that dropped it off said he started to open the door and realized he may have too many items falling on top of him, so he stopped.  (Actually it was just a yard hose but I could see where it might feel like everything is falling out).  We used our packing money wisely ;) That is for sure.
