Moving Time!!

March has been a pretty fun and exciting month so far!  To start is off, Jill and Christian found out that they would be moving back to Wyoming from Nebraska...YAY!!! I immediately made plans to go out there to help them move back.  But before that happened I got to celebrate my birthday a little bit.  My wonderful friends Andy and Hillary surprised me on Saturday with tickets to the Jazz game down in Salt Lake.  Well, they didn't actually have the tickets, but that was part of the fun!  Our friends Channy and Brianna also joined us for a great girl's night out!  We headed to The Pie in SLC for super delicious pizza before the game.  It was at the point that I found out that my camera was no longer working...BUMMER!  I need to get pictures from Channy so that I can post them.  After dinner, we headed to the Energy Solutions Arena to find some tickets.  We had been checking KSL for any deals, but didn't find any that were good enough, so we resorted to buying tickets from a scalper.  That was an experience! We bought upper bowl tickets for cheap and headed to our seats.

We immediately started scoping out some empty seats in the lower bowl that we could move into.  Andy's parents had seats in the 12th row behind the basket with a couple empty seats beside and behind them.  As soon as half time hit we headed right down there and got much better seats! We ended up staying in those seats for the whole rest of the game which ended up being way intense.  It went into overtime and the Jazz finally won! It turns out that those seats originally sell for about $115 and we only paid $15. Booyah! After the game, we went down the court and watched them interview Harris, saw CJ Miles, and I even gave Harris a high-five! Pretty much the best Jazz game!!

That next Wednesday I flew out of SLC to Nebraska to help Jill and Christian move.  My parents had been in Mexico the previous week without cellphone reception, so they had no idea that I was flying to NE.  My mom was also flying out that same day and I knew that we were going to be in the same flight from Denver to McCook, so I decided to surprise her in the airport.  It was so funny to see her reaction when I found her! Priceless!  We made it to McCook (For the last time ever!!) and got right into packing and cleaning.  They had started packing up their stuff already, but we still had our work cut out!  My birthday was on Thursday and after a long day of cleaning and packing, we went over to their friend's, the Blomstedts, for dinner.  We enjoyed a delicious dinner and then some cake and ice cream.  Friday was the big moving day.  We finished packing everything up and then most of the people from their Branch came over around 5 to help load up the Uhaul.  We had about 40-45 people there helping and it seriously made a difference! They loaded that truck up in no time.

Saturday we made the looooong trek back to Wyoming.  After about 14 hours, we finally made it back to my parent's house in Powell.  That was one of the longest trips I have ever experienced and I was very glad to home.  Sunday we headed over to Lovell to start unloading the Uhaul.  They are going to be renting Christian's grandma's house for now.  Christian's family was all there to help with the heavy lifting and unloading.  Monday I went to Basin to see Mallory before she had her baby and then headed to Lovell to help out with the cleaning and moving.  Tuesday we started to paint the bedrooms. Tuesday night we all went out to dinner for my late birthday dinner.  I was originally supposed to fly out of Cody on Wednesday afternoon, but I ended up getting to stay another day.  The plane was overweight so they were looking for volunteers to not go on that flight and take the first flight on Thursday morning.  I was so excited that I could finally actually do this so I volunteered and ended up getting a $400 flight voucher for Delta.

So we had this packing tape that was not sticky AT ALL so what does my dad do with it?? Use it to wrap me up, of course!

Using a knife to cut the tape off...little scared if you can't tell!

What a cute little dork :)

Oh how I love cleaning!

Since my camera has decided to die on me, I had to steal pictures from my mom and sister...thanks! I am so glad that Jill and Christian decided to move back to Wyo.  It will be great to get to see them every time I go home and will get to spend more time with them and the boys.  It was a lot of fun getting to spend the whole week with them.
