Crazy Moving Weekend

Well, we got everything moved Saturday, July 10th. We had a lot of help from both our old and new wards Elder's Quorums. I am especially grateful for our new ward, who had to bring all of our stuff upstairs to our second floor apartment. I don't have any pictures as I haven't found where I packed the camera. Getting all of our stuff from one place to the other didn't end up being a problem it was a lot of other little things. The U-Haul we rented wasn't going to be ready to be picked up when we needed it, so we had to go to Chandler to get a U-Haul the size we needed. Bobby and I only got 2-3 hours of sleep since I hadn't gotten everything packed. Since we had been doing a lot of traveling and in Arizona you have to drink lots of fluids to keep hydrated Richie became dehydrated. He threw-up in the car as I was driving to our apartment in Casa Grande. Since he was sick I went and picked up some dinner, on the way back the air conditioning went out and I started to smell something burning. Since I have blown up 2 engines I'm afraid that was going to happen to our little red car. We got Richie some gatorade and since we have so much stuff there was no place to set-up beds. Bobby found the air matress and pumped it up. Richie and Kamry slept on a couch and Bobby and I on the air matress that barely fit in the living room. Richie woke up throughout the night because he was thirsty, making it difficult to sleep well.

Richie was fine the next morning, and since he was just dehydrated and not flu sick we went to church. After church we all came home to take a nap since we had not slept well the past couple nights. After my nap I woke up sick, I am a terrible sick person, so we did not get the beds set up for another night. We have a wonderful ward and a wonderful couple took Kamry and Richie on Monday morning so I could get some sleep, as well as feeding us dinner on Sunday and breakfast and lunch on Monday. I finally feel better and am ready to start un-packing. The goal today is to get the bedrooms cleared enough to set up the beds. It certainly makes me grateful not to be a pioneer, when I struggle sleeping on an air mattress.
