Almost Ready!

Well we are almost ready to leave the country.  Since we decided to leave we moved out of our apartment, moved in with friends, moved out and went to the convention, went to Lazuli's parent's house for awhile and now we are at Matt's parent's house.  Whew!  I (Lazuli) started packing for this trip the day we decided to go, good thing too!  Leaving our apartment was hard because we loved it and the location was so amazing, close proximity to some long-suffering friends ;-).  Who knew that we had so much STUFF!  However Matt is an expert packer and he fit it all into our storage shed, except for all the stuff we needed for the trip and in-between.  All THAT stuff he somehow fit into our car, and let me tell you, the man has skills. Serious car packing skills.  I provided helpful hints and pretty much stayed out of the way.

We want to thank all our friends that have supported us so lovingly during the past month with moving and everything.  Some helped pack, some helped us out with a place to stay and some helped us out with some fabulous meals.  One particular couple, (you know who you are:) helped us out with all of those things and we are so grateful.  Thank you all so much for your love.  We are sorry that we don't have time to send each of you a heartfelt card, but we want you to know that we do appreciate your love and friendship.  More than mere words can express.

Most of you know that we are going to be relying on our new gmail address instead of our yahoo and hotmail ones, so please send any correspondence via gmail while we are away. I am going to send an email to you about this but for those of you that may not receive it the gmail one is the same as our shared yahoo account except @gmail.com instead.  If you want to email us and don't know our email, then feel free to leave comments which we will be checking as often as we are able to blog.  If the blogging doesn't work out for some reason, then we will send email updates instead.

We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on June 10th this year.  It fell on Sunday at our District Convention which was a beautiful way to enjoy it.  Matt had a card and rose for me when we got in the car to go to the session.  I had a guilty conscience which I soothed later when I bought him a card and ice cream to make up for my lack of thoughtfulness. We also enjoyed a lovely dinner with friends at Walkers afterward.

6 fun-filled years!
