Moving on the 18th of July

***We are moving to Washington on the 18th!***
Our original plan was to stay here in Rexburg until November when Joey starts basic training BUT things have changed. Monday morning we were talking and realized it would be really hard to sell our contract in the middle of November. We figured it would be better to sell it in August. So we were trying to think of where we could stay for a few months, and told Mama Cindy about our issue and she made us an offer! As some of you know, my mom and her friend, Paula, bought an apartment in Snohomish and are working on remolding it. They want someone to stay at the apartment while the construction is going so things don't "walk away" over the weekend. So we are moving into the apartment and helping with the changes!!! Joey will work for Paula and I'll work for mom or dad and we'll live in the apartment until November, when it should be ready to rent out and Joey will go to Basic training and I'll move in with mom and dad!
So now we have a week and a half to:
Find someone to take over our contract
Sell a lot of our furniture we don't want to store
pack up our stuff to take to Washington
pack up most of our stuff and take it to a storage unit
find a storage unit
Study for finals
take our finals
finish final projects
finish school on the 18th about 3 in the afternoon
drive to Oregon in the afternoon and through the night on the 18th and stay with Christy, my sister
wake up Saturday morning and drive to Washington, bringing Christy and baby Charlotte with us
Then enjoy our family reunion for a week long trip to Whistler and RELAX

Whew... it is going to be so so so BUSY!!!
But we know it's the right thing to do! We've been praying about it and just yesterday morning we posted all the things we wanted to sell and our contract and we had 14 offers for our contract in ONE DAY! and everything else sold or has offers!!

Wow! Good luck with moving, especially in such a short time. Cute idea with using a blog to sell stuff. I wish we could have stayed longer so we could have talked more. You looked extremely tired when we played apples^2. Keep us all updated! Love you two!

Good luck with the move and selling stuff! Moving is a lot of work, but since you know it is the right thing to do than that will make it a bit smoother!
