Mother's Day and Moving!

Last weekend was both moving weekend and Mother's Day weekend. What a crazy/exciting weekend it was! We loaded up the moving truck and hit the road. It was REALLY sad to leave all our memories and friends behind. We unloaded our truck and then we began the unpacking process! Where in the world did we get all this stuff!??? Sunday was of course Mother's Day. Ryan spoke in our old ward (of course he did a GREAT job) then we headed to our "new" home where Ryan and the kids napped and I unpacked some. Later we had dinner at Ryan's parent's house and went to visit his Grandma Lloyd. It has been a crazy week, but hopefully things will get back to normal soon. We love our new house (sorry I haven't found the camera yet to take pictures) and we have met some of our neighbors. Thanks to all who have helped us in the moving process! We couldn't have done it without you!!!!

Side note on Mother's Day: This was my 5th Mother's Day since having kids (if I count the year I was pregnant with Carter). What a life changing 5 years it has been! Being a mom is both the hardest and greatest thing ever. I am so grateful for my mom and Ryan's mom and for the years they have devoted to being mothers. Until I became a mother myself, I didn't understand what a sacrifice it is! Thanks to all those moms (and moms to be) out there for being amazing and sticking with it!!
