All it Takes is Support

I am so thankful for all the support we have. This past weekend could have been insane, crazy and heartbreaking, but because the support of family and friends, it was enjoyable and dare I even say relaxing? Thursday night Dave's parents picked Caleb up and took him to their trailer. Friday morning after running to the bank and lawyers office, I took Joel to my parents house and Amberly to Steve and Sally's place for the weekend. They were all separated, but I think that made their weekend extra special because they each got treated in special individual ways. When I got back from dropping the kids off, I met Dave in Alma at our new place. Then after doing a little bit there, I then ran back into Elmira where I made a purchase of a vacuum and a few odds and ends to take along to the new place. Then back to Alma I went where Dave and I primed the boys room. My brother Benji then showed up with the sandbox stuff in his truck. He helped with some painting and then we headed home to Elmira for a nights sleep. 8am in the morning Benji came back to Elmira and along with the help of Dave's friend Steve, the guys took down the swing set while I did a quick tidy and clean of the place (the purchasers were doing their final walk through later that day) We then spent the rest of the day in Alma, setting up the swing set, and sand box (priorities eh!) and painting the boys room and toy room in the basement.

Christa (Steve's wife) swung by for a tour and to drop off some needed cookies to snack on! Then once the rooms were completly painted we all called it a day and headed home. When Dave and I got home, Dave mowed our lawn and then we got cleaned up and actually went to the movies to watch The Dark Knight Rises which was so great! I love those batman movies! Sunday we packed up the van again, made a trip into Home Depot and headed back out to Alma where we did some unpacking and odds and ends before my family arrived with our kidlets. The kids had a blast running around the empty house and playing in the big back yard!

Today we did some shopping in Walmart and Canadian Tire and then Dave headed to Alma with Caleb while I stayed with Amberly and Joel until Joel's nap was over. Once we arrived in Alma, my parents were back there with Benji. Dad and Benji moved the receptacle for our dryer up in the wall so we could stack our appliances. Fern and Mert also stopped in to see the place. It was a beautiful day out, so all the windows were open and we were airing out the place.

The next two days will probably be stressful, but by Wednesday night we will be fully into our new home.

I can't thank my family and friends enough for all the help and support and encouragement they have all been.....
