Tonight I am starting to pack up our little life in Provo. Moving is an interesting experience I have had the opportunity to experience a number of times in my life. Some moves are sweeter than others and as I tape up boxes I think of the boxes I packed leaving my home in Gilroy and it makes my a little weepy inside (I am pregnant after all), and I think of the boxes I packed the days before I moved into the dorms and met some of my best friends that I remain friends with now and will continue to be friends with probably forever. I also think of that last night in DT with all the girls and how much fun we had even though we were leaving. I think about how my house in California is filled with other people and other people's things and how my room in DT isn't even there anymore and it makes me so sad. Sometimes I just wish I could go back and relive just one day that I had in those places. Then I think about the day that we found this little apartment and how excited I was to have it. I think of the day I started moving my things in and putting things away and all the fun times that we have had here. I think about all the amazing people we have met since we have lived here and how I am glad that we will still be close. I think of new people living here and I can't really imagine it. Just like I never could picture it with any of the other places I have left. I am, though, so excited to move into our new (bigger and better) place to accommodate our little growing family. That part doesn't make me sad at all... just all the yucky stuff that comes with moving.
Don't let all of this fool you though... I have a sick sick love for the actual packing. I label everything thouroughly and carefully, one two strategic spots on each box and when we get to our new house you can be assured that life will be in order in 2 to 3 days (we are still a little family yet). I love the organizing and the cleaning and the renewal that comes... that same spring cleaning feeling. I wouldn't want to move all the time, but once in a while it is nice to reorganize and purge and reorganize again at the new house.
We won't be going far (just to Pleasant Grove) and we expect visitors. =) We will be all moved out by the 1st of August, and probably a handful of days before that, but we still want to stay close to all of our friends! If you want the new address, holler and I will send it your way. =) =)

So I'm pretty much incredibly sad that you're moving. Just the fact that you're not across the street from me anymore makes me want to cry! I am happy that you'll have a better place. I also LOVE cleaning and purging unneeded things and organizing. Moving is always good for that. I'm grateful for the friendship we have! You've been awesome and will definitely be missed!
Moving is always good for a little cleaning. I am the same way you are somewhat. I love to dejunk! Good luck with the pregnancy. My friend Sarah that I went to nursing school with is an L and D nurse at American Fork.
I am sure going to miss our visits. I too like dejunking. Good luck and remember we are just down the street if you need help.
