load 'er up

monday night, with lots of help from the elder's quorum in our church...

we moved everything out of the house...

 onto the driveway...

and into the pods...

 or the truck...

 wednesday morning, we were greeted with donuts, juice and lots of friends...

and said our final goodbyes to the beloved 515 sierra vista #2 {we loved that place. no shared walls? garage? washer and dryer? i think so.}...

and then we drove away...

 i teared up multiple times on that 15 hour drive {we were following ryan in the truck and he had a governor on in that wouldn't let him go over 70!!!}. 

it seemed at each rest stop i found sweet notes from wonderful friends in my purse or my bag or the treat box for the car. notes full of memories, well wishes and love. 

we so appreciate all the help and service our family was shown. it will not be forgotten.
