An we are in (town at least)...

Yesterday we picked up the truck at 8 and immediately started loading it. Jack, Trent, and Ash came to help and we didn't stop until 1:30! The guys were so helpful and could literally carry huge, heavy stuff in the 92 degree heat (and 100% humidity!) without a single complaint.

We didn't let Ash lift anything (she is pregnant with twins!) but she did hold Genevieve for hours at a time so I could help a little!

We were about 1 1/2 hours behind schedule so we didn't have a chance to get too sad as we pulled away for the very last time. The boys were just so excited to get to Seminole that they could hardly stand it.

Without taking a break we headed straight to the rental house where we had helpers waiting on us! Shannon and her son Collin were there and Matt, Candy and Brooks soon joined as did Billy's son Trevor. The guys got the truck unloaded while I tried to direct traffic (that goes in...that goes to the barn for storage...repeat...) It was confusing. We unloaded that last box about 6 pm and were beat. We took the truck back, I made us some sandwiches and we watched Sherlock Holmes on our laptop in bed at the farm.

This morning Brad left for OKC at 6:30 because yes...there were 3 things that wouldn't fit in our big a@@ truck. Man, we have too much stuff! He was back by 9 and I was already at the rental with all three kiddos unpacking boxes.

We worked all day only taking a break to take the boys to the farm for a nap and by 5:30 pm I had every box unpacked and even the 4 framed pics I brought to the rental on the wall! This simple living thing is great!

When we were done brad, g, an I headed over to the farm so I could cook the guys a father's day breakfast smorgasbord for dinner. We watched the first half of the thunder game and then headed home for our first night in our newest home. We put sis down in her very own room and the boys are in their room reading books to each other.

I'd say everything is going just fine.
