Well, we did it. We moved! I can't believe we're actually in our own place again. It's nice to have our own stuff--even though a lot of it is still in boxes. We've been able to do a lot of unpacking, but it will take another couple of weeks before we're really settled in.
We were actually surprised by how fast the moving went. Ryan and my brother loaded up our storage unit on Friday afternoon. Saturday, several guys from my parents' ward showed up around 10. The truck was loaded by 10:30 and Ryan called me at 11:30 to tell me they had unloaded everything and he was going to drop off the truck.
We attended our new ward yesterday, too. First of all, the building we meet is in SUPER old--even has a basement and a bit of an upstairs. And, they couldn't fit all of the necessary classrooms into the original building, so they built an "annex" and you have to walk outside the foyer and back in another door to get to Sunday School and Relief Society. It's quite interesting!
The people in the ward are really nice. Several people asked us if we were new and what our names were...but for the most part, the ward is really not talkative! In my old student ward, the sisters would chit chat before Relief Society began--and in this ward, there wasn't much chit-chatting going on. I'm sure it's because about 1/3 of the ward is new within the past few weeks. Oh--and the other thing is that when they asked if someone would give the opening prayer, NO ONE volunteered! I was shocked. (I was filling out my new sister questionnaire and didn't get a chance to raise my hand before the RS Pres said she would do it.) Anyway--I guess it's a very quiet ward...maybe I can help change that.
Overall, I'm still excited about our experience here. I'm not sure what's in store, but I feel that we're going to be needed here.

wow! you did it! i hate moving, we just did it and will do it again next week as we venture out to utah. i wish i had the money that we could hire movers to come box it all up but then i'd be controlling them and looking over their shoulders to make sure they were packing the way i packed and that they were labeling correctly. ha! can you tell i'm a little ocd? :) you will be needed in that ward, can't wait to hear more!
LOL! I would be the same way! Ryan and I were super glad we weren't moving out of state because that would definitely add a degree of difficulty to the move. I hope things go well for you guys! Can't wait to have you out here!
