First of all - Ben graduated!! The ceremony was really nice, Ben's mom and 2 of his brothers came for it along with my parents. My mom watched Alex and my dad came to the ceremony.
Then we moved! Ben had a good drive down with the big truck. Alex was awesome in the car. Just really, really good. We got to Traverse City around 6pm sunday night. Our friends here in town came over to help us unload the truck. Ben and Brandon got it about half unloaded that night! We worked really hard painting and unloading the next day. Brandon came back and helped Ben finish off what was left in the truck monday night so we could return it on tuesday. Mom stayed until supper time tuesday night and then headed home. We worked HARD, mom painted Alex's room by herself, all 3 of us worked on painting the basement and we got both rooms totally finished.
Mom had quite an adventure on the way home on top of everything! We couldn't have done it without all of her help.
Wednesday morning Alex started throwing up and that continued for 3 days. :( Not so good for the unpacking and yard work. Then Ben and I were sick over that next weekend. So last week we had TONS to get done before Ben went back to work. We worked really hard though and I painted the whole kitchen and we got totally unpacked. We still have the garage to clean up, our room is a mess and we have lots of outside clean up but everything else is pretty much done!
Please email one of us if you need our new address or phone number. We still have our cell phone, same number for now, but we also have a new land line.
