I'm so behind!

Behind on blogging, that is.  I'm right on schedule for our move though!  And that's what's important at this point.  We are moving on Wednesday!  Craziness.  Jeremy's company is moving us, so there's not that much I have to do, but we've been going through all our stuff to make sure we're not moving junk or things we don't want anymore.  It feels good to do some spring cleaning!  The movers come pack us all up on Tuesday and then load up our stuff on Wednesday.  We decided to be crazy and DRIVE to Portland instead of fly, so we'll leave Wednesday after we finish cleaning.  I know, why would we choose to drive?  Quite a few reasons actually, but basically we figured it was going to take a week for our stuff to get there anyway, so rather than hang out it in a hotel for a week, we could see lots of people along the way!  We get to see 2 of my sisters - one in Iowa, one in Idaho, and we get to stop in Utah and see tons of extended family, friends, and our house!  (PS Riverbend Ward friends - we will be going to church there on June 2nd!  I hope to see you there!!!)

So that's what is on our minds this week.  Planning a 2600-mile road trip is quite the job!  I'm 100% off dairy and we don't eat fast food, so finding healthy stops along the way has been a big job, but I think I have found plenty of options for us now - along with some parks and such in case we need somewhere to run around for a bit.  I'm a little nervous about the trek with 3 kids smashed in the back seat of our Camry, but it will certainly be an adventure!  Our stuff will be arriving in Portland sometime between June 5-7 (we'll know for sure later), so we should be there in 2 weeks!

We've also had lots of fun the past couple weeks.  Jeremy's parents were here for Anna's blessing and Jeremy's graduation and lots of other fun things and we had a GREAT time with them.  It's going to take me a few posts to catch up on everything, but here's a teaser for now.  More to come later!

Beautiful picture of you and your family! CONGRATULATIONS to Jeremy! We are so proud of him. Sarah you are such a great planner and I think it sounds like fun to go on this road trip and see lots of family along the way. It will be hard at times but so fun too. You will have lots of fun memories and be really glad when you get there:). Good luck on all your packing and road trip. I wish I could be seeing you and the family at the places along the way.
