Good luck, cowboys
Does anyone think it's funny that this
plus a big tv, a computer, two bikes, plus a few sundry items that Steve just brought out (everything that is not going into the dark abyss of indefinite storage, in other words), oh, and seven people have to fit in our two cars for our big move?
I think it's pretty funny.
Wednesday morning edit: Ahhhh, our lives just got much easier. The moving van will take as much stuff as we need to our new residence. Thank you, Brigham!

Most stressful common experiences in life:
-Death of a loved one
-Divorce
-Fired from job
-Moving
Sadly many people have to move because of also experiencing one of the other three.
fyi: New Baby is the 5th biggest stresser.
As far as stressful things go, chronic and/or terminal illness of loved ones has got to be high up on the list. And dire poverty is stressful. That's got to be up there. And being chased by a mountain lion.
It never occurred to me to ask the moving company if they would be willing to make a second stop with some of our stuff, until the impossibility of transporting all our must-haves in our own vehicles became much too obvious. Then I asked, sort of fearing that it would add thousands of dollars to our already high bill (ahem, sacred tithing funds). And they were all, "Oh, yeah, no problem. We do that all the time." Moral of the story: Just Ask.
We are driving out of Phoenix forever on Monday, never to return. Except for Christmas. We're going to Utah by way of Disneyland (that's right on the way, isn't it?) and I'm really hoping for a nice, uncrowded Tuesday in September at Disneyland. Is that too much to hope for?
We made a similar move (stuff in storage while we found our humble abode). Be prepared for the bazillion times that you'll think of something that you need/wish you had that is in your storage unit.
Also, it will drive you nuts to live in someone else's home, no matter how much you love 'em and how fabulous they are.
AND
Make sure that you use a storage unit with GOOD security. Our unit was broken into and 75% of our belongings were stolen. That was our welcome back to Zion. Can you believe that would happen in YOU TAH? It did. (but I'm in Salt Lake, you're in Provo..so I think you'll be okay) ha.
p.s. Do you give prizes for "Biggest Joy kill Comment of the Day"? I think I'd win, hands down. Sorry 'bout that.
Truly wishing you good luck, strength and grit through the next week! : )
