Recap of the week.

Sorry for the delay in updates.

On Sunday, we were officially reunited with Katherine (and Papa). My dad brought Katherine to us so that he could stay and help us pack up the house.

Here is the official recap.

Sunday
Dad, Frank and I played and played with Katherine. Then we started the packing process. Basically, it was all out war with the house. We started packing immediately. Since all of the dishes and pots/pans were packed we had to eat out, oh darn! It gave us a chance to eat at all of our "old haunts". We hit Baja Grill.

Monday
Frank went to work. (it was the first day of the official conversion.) He is a Senior Account Manager in the Elite PCS team. It is as important as it sounds. I am so proud!!!! Katherine went to play with her friends at Darla's house. I packed as much as I could pack. Dad spent all day changing the tires and replacing the breaks on the Mazda. I truly hope that all daughters have the dad that I have and husbands have a father in law that Frank has. My dad is in a word...awesome! That night we went for chinese food at Pei Wei.

Tuesday
Dad and I packed like crazy. We took breaks only to rest and have a little lunch. We packed as much as we could til we dropped...actually dropped! Katherine had a great day with her friends and Frank had a good day at work. We went for a true steak dinner to thank Daddy for all he had done. Prairie House is a hole in the wall steak joint that is YUMMY!

Wednesday
Same bat time, same bat channel. This time though, we went for seafood.

Thursday
This was the BIG day. Our Al's Firefighter Mover's arrived and had all of our belongings in an 8x16 Mobile Attic portable storage unit. These guys did everything in 4 hours and with a professional manner. Dad and I were able to do many other things while Tim the fireman and Donny the fireman were doing some heavy lifting. By 6:00 p.m., Frank, Dad, Katherine and I were all at Grandma Kathy's house to relax. (I attached the links of the storage and movers because they rock! Use them if you need 'em)

Friday
Frank and I did some last minute things at the house...and it comes down to this.

1. Our house is officially empty!
2. We are at Grandma Kathy's house and everything is unloaded.
3. We are closing on the house on Monday at noon. (we even get lunch!)
4. Life is good! I have a glass of wine and Frank and Katherine are swimming in the pool!

Thank you to all that have helped us....we couldn't have done it without you!!!

Goodbye 5940 Hillview, hello new adventures!!
