We are slowly but surely getting our lives out of boxes and finding places for our belongings. I'm still trying to decide how to live without a linen closet. We have a pretty good solution putting some shelves in the Master bedroom closet....we'll see how well that will work. Erika has been a big help...her 14 year old legs can take the townhouse stairs 2 at a time...I'm so jealous....
Speaking of stairs, last Monday I decided to come downstairs the quick way- I slid down mostly on my rib cage. I'm still sore but nothing major got broke. Stairs and I just have a history of not getting along.
I can not believe how fast this month has gone by. Soon it will be May and hopefully Spring will be in full bloom soon. I'm ready for sunshine and bright colors...
I went shopping with the Loney girls last Saturday. We went to the Layton Hills Mall. I thought I'd be a spectator but I ended up with a couple of new blouses, a new purse, had lunch in the Food Court. It was a really fun day.

MOVIN' ON UP, OVER, OUT......
So much for keeping up with my blog....but, I believe I've had a fairly good excuse. Moving. As previously mentioned, Ann's house was on the market and it was sold. So we have moved into a townhouse apartment in Logan over behind ShopKo. (It's actually across the parking lot from where we lived back in 1995...we actually watched this apartment being built...)
Lots of packing, stacking and moving. We now have 2 storage units. And the apartment is nice, 2 bedrooms, 1 and 1/2 baths and fairly new (nice) carpet. It also has AC which the other one didn't have. The patio is small but we have grass out back which will be nice come summertime.
We had such awesome help and support from our family. Ann, Sara and Shelley worked their butts off packing, cleaning and moving us, as did Erika. Tyler was a champion leaf bagger, with an assist from Aceley and her new garden cart and shovel. Mike and Brian helped Dewey with all our big stuff like washer, dryer, freezer, beds, etc. Brian also had a list of repairs (demands) from the new home owners that involved drywall that he and Mike tackled under the basement stairwell.... Little Aceley kept asking to help move boxes out to the truck- so we'd hand her empty boxes and she huff and puff and strut out to the truck or van with them....it was adorable!
Now we just have the task of putting stuff away and hopefully getting it whittled down to one storage unit before too long....but I'm gonna need some warmer weather before I'm ready to go out to storage and sift through all our old junk. I've really gotten rid of a bit of "stuff" this move...hopefully even more by the next one! With Erika's help our living room looks good but the rest of the of the place could use some work....
I'm working today (Saturday) traded it with a coworker/friend for next Saturday off...so when I get off we'll be going to a friend's wedding reception and tomorrow morning is our friend Shane's missionary's homecoming....I'll get to spend time with both Ty and Ericka when I get off work today...I can hardly wait....
