The Hosmer Family: Moving!

Well, one thing we weren't expecting to do this summer was move. But, at the beginning of August Dave went and interviewed for a job up in Idaho Falls (working as a full-time cook in the temple cafeteria there). He'd been looking for a full-time job for a little while and this one came up, so even though it would mean a big change, we decided to go for it. Then on August 9th we found out he'd gotten the job, but would have to start work on August 21st. That gave us less than 2 weeks to move! It was a crazy week and a half, but we found a decent place to live, packed everything up, made all the other tons of arrangements that come with making a big move, and left on the 19th after church. We even fit in an anniversary trip (we got to go away for the weekend while my mom watched Benjamin) since that also fell during this week and a half. Fortunately we could leave a lot of storage stuff at the house that we wouldn't need, since my parents own the house and my brother & his wife were going to move in there. We filled up at 20 foot moving truck with all the stuff, though! We spent all day on the 20th moving in to our new place and then Dave started work the next morning - whew! It was certainly tough doing this with a toddler and being 7 months pregnant, but made it thanks to lots of help from family & our wards, plus depriving ourselves of sleep.
