Holdin' Down the Fort

After Grady and the boys left, we ladies still had so much to do! Finish all of the packing, getting all of our luggage to 50 lbs.. sorting through all our stuff to determine what to take and what to store. Cleaning and getting rid of stuff...It was such a fun and busy 2 weeks. We were blessed with lots of help from friends which helped tremendously!

Hmmm... What to do with all the trash? thankfully, our friends the Rubins came to make a dump run for us. That was a great relief since all of the seats were in the 15 passenger van and really had no idea how to manhandle them out of there!

 

 Ashley tackles the orange shower!

 

I think we may be able to fit just ONE more thing in there! LOL

Trying to get to the 'magic' 50 lbs!

We had so many things that we wanted to bring that we decided to bring the allotted 5 checked bags as well as check an additional 5 bags! 500 lbs of stuff! :-0

Getting the house all clean for our rental inspection.. we had so much help from friends too! A special young man came to wash our windows for us, a dump run... still another person so kindly let us borrow sleeping bags and their carpet shampoo-ers. We are so blessed to have such special helpful friends!

My ladies and I camped out on our bedroom floor for the last few nights. We had given Ashley and Amanda's bed back to the Kings, sent along the little girls' beds with the guys in the trailer.. and I finally put our bed for free on Craigslist.. that was a hard thing to do. I LOVED that bed! :-)
