we had a great christmas spent with lots of family!
now the fun begins! the weekend and week after christmas we packed up 8 years of our life and moved into the new house. it was an emotional time for bethie and I. you get so attached to things and you are leaving your comfort zone that you have been in for many years. it really is hard to move, both physically and emotionally. we both new that we were moving on to bigger and better things. not only will we have a home to make our own, but lots of extra space that we haven't had for many years. what a way to start the new year in 2010! :)
here are a few pictures of our apartment while we were getting things packed up and ready to move . it is so crazy how much stuff you accumulate over the years.
thank you once again mike, carly, tim and carrie for driving down from logan in a snowstorm to help us move. we love you guys! :)
