Happy Father’s Day! We love our dads!
Saturday was spent helping Deborah move to another house in town. Moving is not a fun process regardless of who you are, but if you have to move, get Deborah to figure out your system. This girl had it down.
I was one of the first to arrive at 8, but she already had helpers there and a trailer in the driveway. Boxes were ready and labeled with where to go. She directed traffic like a…. traffic person, and it was In. Cred. I. Ble.
There were SOOOOOO many people! Seriously, I think well over 20. Let me do some bad counting. Nolan, Me, Lloyd; Greg, Lyn; Gretchen; Mindy; Beth; Harold; Deborah’s mom, dad, sister, nephews; two college kids; Michelle; Kevin; Becky; Linda; Linda’s husband and son (blanking on the names); Rebecca; Bob… who’d I miss? It was amazing.
I was worried because a storm was in the forecast and I thought we’d be going well into the afternoon/evening. Nope. The house was unloaded by noon and almost everything was PUT AWAY WHERE IT WILL LIVE by 3! Beth and some other organizational wizards had the bedrooms and kitchen up and running, Lloyd got the internet, dryer and thermostat going, and I….. spent a long time putting towels away in the bathroom……
It was awesome. Enjoy your new home, Deborah!!

When I moved from my apartment to my house, a bunch of people came to help move boxes, and I wasn’t done packing. Though I think that is actually pretty common, I felt bad about it.
Good job being organized, Deborah!

It was amazing! I cannot put words to how grateful I am! All of that was before 3:00. Plus the old house was cleaned! I figured I’d be doing that and unpacking the necessities until midnight. But it was DONE!
Your list was a good start. There also was Curt and son, and Ben. And Brady and Jill had lunch prepared for everyone. And Lauren figured out how to get rid of the huge office desk that didn’t fit in the new house. And Lauren made this cool video! Thanks, Lauren!

You’re welcome! Sorry for the abrupt ending. I forgot to make it fade out at the end. Oops. 🙂

What a great crew! So glad you’re all moved in, Deborah. Are you ready for overnight visitors? (hint-hint)
Awesome video! Thank God for good friends!!
Deborah says
Ready!
