Moving/Graduation

Where to start...Thursday morning (the 10th) Ammon and I woke up and got started packing up the last little bit of items that we had used for the past few days. I also took time to take Gideon to Story time, while Ammon ran errands. It was such a nice day with sunshine and a light breeze, but at 4 p.m. big dark clouds came rolling in, the wind was blowing, and it started to rain! I was not very pleased because we had moved into our apartment in the rain, and I did not want to move out in the rain! Ammon and I knelt down and said a prayer, asking for the rain storm to blow over us and that the sun will shine once more at 7 p.m. when we were going to load the Jeep and Trailer. Our prayers were answered and we were able to load the Jeep and Trailer without getting wet! We had alot of help from our friends (thanks all of you strong men!) and were done loading the stuff within an hour and 20 min. from start to finish! The best part was watching Gideon trying to be a big boy and help carry things out to Dad!
Friday was a little bit relaxing in the way that we were able to spend the morning cleaning the apartment and having our check out! Everything checked out just fine, and we decided to walk up to Graduation! It was a long walk and poor Mom and Dad probably were not pleased with all of the steep hills we took them up and down! We were worried that it was going to rain on us at Graduation, so we took our umbrellas and coats and blankets. The sun decided to overpower the clouds and shine just during Graduation! Dad and Ammon and I got sunburned, but I got it the worst! I believe that I got Heat Exhaustion because on the walk home I got really sick and dizzy! This sickness and dizziness lasted all day Saturday and Sunday as well! Ammon was so happy to be done with school and we were all proud of him as he was hooded and recieved his diploma! Gideon even cheered real loud for his Daddy when we told him that Daddy was walking across the stage! We were able to get good pictures as we were able to sit down on the field right next to where Ammon was sitting during Graduation! It was great!
Saturday, we woke up at 4:30 a.m. and started loading the last things into the Truck and Car (Such as the freezer, antlers, clothes, bins, pack n play, airbeds, blankets, and pillows, and a lot of other things as well)! The guys did a great job loading, but took a long time doing it! We didn't leave the apartment until about 8 a.m. (this was not the plan!) We then had to stop and fill all of the tires with air (which took a long time) and then had to stop to fill all of the vehicles with gas (which also took a long time)! I don't know what time we finally got on the road, but it was well into the late morning hours! I was dizzy and sick the entire time driving, but the boys did pretty good taveling until we stopped in Dillon to get gas at about 5 p.m. Dad and Ammon were hot to trot and wanted to get home before it got too late, so they went on ahead and left Mom and I and the boys behind. Mom and I decided that it would be about 7 p.m. when we would get to Grandma's house, so we stopped there to give the boys a chance to run around, give our ears a break from the screaming and crying, and to eat dinner! We left Grandma's about 8:30 p.m. and Jeremiah had just had enough of the car seat and cried/screamed on and off the rest of the way home (just a little over 2 hours)! On the last of the drive we had to go through two construction zones while it was pouring rain, windy, and had three deer run out in front of us! We luckily were able to slam on the brakes and swerve and missed all three deer! That of course woke Jeremiah up, who had just fallen to sleep and had stopped crying! We got home at about 11:30 p.m. The guys had had help unloading the trailer and Jeep at the storage unit, but because I wasn't there to tell them what stayed at the storage unit and what went to the house it all got mixed together! That made it very hard and stressful to try and get ready for bed without our pjs and toothbrushes! Jeremiah woke up at the house and wanted to kick around and Gideon got diarrhea! This caused us to not get to bed until about 1 a.m.! What a very long day!
I was still sick on Sunday morning, Ammon was very tired and had a hard time moving, and Jeremiah was still sleeping, so we did not make it to church! We tried to sleep as much as we could, but that wasn't very much. We had to go over to the storage unit on Sunday afternoon and unload the entire unit and put things in piles and put things back into the storage unit in an orderly manner! We then took a truck load of things that belonged at the house over to the house and unloaded it in one bedroom that was ready for us to move into!
Monday morning, Ammon went to Twin Falls for a job interview, which went very well, and I tried to organize the bathroom, so that we could all take showers!
Tuesday we went to the Temple and visited with my sister, who so willingly watched our boys on the spur of the moment (Thanks Danelle!)
Wednesday, shampooed the carpet in the other bedroom and organized the basement and living room, and did laundry!
Thursday, we went to Pocatello where Ammon had another job interview, which went well, and bought flowers and veggies to plant if the weather ever cooperates with us!
Friday, we finished laundry and actually got the flowers and vegtable garden planted as the sun was shining in a clear blue sky! That has been our very exciting, long, and full of adventure week! Now, we are just waiting to hear back from the jobs and make a decision on which one to take! We are so very blessed to be here and are grateful that our Heavenly Father watched over us and kept us safe this past week! We know that He lives and that our Savior loves us and you so very much! We hope that all of you Dad's have a great Father's Day on Sunday and know that we are thinking about you all!
Love, Desiree
