Blessings of a Move

1. A wonderfully clean and organized new home.
2. A home with a fantastic floor plan and lots of space for the kiddos.
3. Friends who make Thanksgiving dinner for you.
4. Friends who watch your children so that immediately after finishing the turkey you can run out to go move boxes.
5. Friends who then drive your kids back to you and then spend 3 hours helping move the BIG furniture pieces.
6. Cleaning your old house one last time.
7. Kids who are so very adaptable. They fall asleep in a new room, in sleeping bags, amid the noise of unpacking, and they think it is fun.
8. New neighbhors on a quiet, quaint street. They still behave as I imagine neighbors did in the "good ole days".
9. New neighbors who bring you rubbermaid boxes, a dolly for moving, cut your grass, figure out why your fridge won't make ice, and help you unpack the moving truck...all inspite of being well.....quite old.
10. New neighbors who bring over a basket of apples, oranges, cokes, and gatorade.
11. A husband who moves his whole family and all their belongings in 1 day.
12. A husband who never complained and just kept on lugging "stuff", who tried to make me laugh, and who smiled at the kids when I couldn't.
13. A husband who puts away things, hangs shower curtains, and organizes the new fridge, when it was all too much for me.
14. Lastly, for the ability to see the blessings in the midst of chaos.
