It's now been four weeks since the big move from LA to Fresno. It was a crazy weekend with lots of seat, heavy lifting and hard work. We had 18 awesome friends and family (see picture on the left) that came over to help us pack up the 16ft Budget rental truck in LA. We did the whole thing in only 90 minutes, so we decided to take off for Fresno that night. We crashed into bed around midnight. The next day we again had some great workers in Fresno that helped us unload the truck in only 45 minutes. The process was exhausting, but really rewarding. We downsized from a 2 to 1 bedroom apartment, so we did a lot of getting rid of stuff. It feels great to get rid of the junk. We now only have a few more pictures to hang up.
My mom and sister-in-law both flew in to help up move. They were such a blessing and we are so thankful. Mom ended up staying for almost 2 weeks. We had some great mother-daughter time and got lots of organizing done. I only wish my family was a little closer. However, we are excited about being closer to Paul's family. One thing both Paul and I were reminded up during this process is how blessed we are with the friends that we have. My sister-in-law was amazed at all the people that came to help, and it just reminded us that not everyone has such an amazing group of friends. What a blessing! A big thanks to everyone who helped int the process.
