Packing

It feels strange to be packing again after we have been at the same place for two years. I actually don't mind packing up because it gives me a chance to re organize my life and simplify. I get heartless with the throwing and donation bags. I am so excited to move into our house, I find myself dreaming at night about just how I want to arrange things, how I might decorate and everything house related. We leave for MN this week to celebrate my Grandmas 100th birthday. The day after we get back we close on the house and hopefully get the keys the next day. We are planning the BIG move the following Saturday with help from some of our awesome friends. Not much has been new just organizing and packing. Our memorial day trip got canceled due to ugly weather. We literally had snow here on Memorial day weekend. The next weekend the weather cleared up and we were able to get a camping trip in with the Mays to the Uintas by Mirror Lake. I will try to post a video from that weekend, when I remember to upload it. Then that Sunday night we had a fun night over at our friends the Hallocks we had a yummy dinner then biked to the park to play bocce ball then biked back home for desert. We decided that needs to be a monthly event in the summer. Besides packing I have been knitting a lot of gifts and reading. Lately it has been a mix of classics and new stuff. So far my favorite has been Great Gatsby, I cannot believe I never had to read this in high school. I also read Pride, Prejudice and Zombies. Definitely like the Zombie version of the book best! Mountain biking has also kept us busy with about two or three rides a week. We did our favorite Mid Mountain ride to Spiro this past weekend and it was gorgeous. Next time I write a new blog it will be in our new house!!!!!!! Love Alyssa
