Update

We had our realtor over yesterday and decided to just get things on the road. We will be moving in about 3 weeks. (We would just move now, but Jeremy has 3 weeks worth of work here in Idaho Falls and Ririe and I need time to pack. I do all the packing while he works.) So with this news, Jeremy wanted to ...not so much 'celebrate' but really just get in one last hurrah before we left Idaho Falls. He has always wanted to go to Red Lobster in Pocatello but we never have. So last night we went. And I really didn't think I would need my camera for going out to dinner, but Oh I WISH I Had Brought It!!!

They have a lobster tank at the front behind the hostess stand, and Courtney conveniently had to go potty about 4 times (because the bathrooms were by the lobster tank)! She was just amazed by those lobsters. As we were leaving, the hostess saw how fascinated Courtney was with them and asked if she wanted to touch one. She pulled one out of the tank, and let us pet it. (awkward knowing that's going to be someone's dinner soon!). Then she asked if we wanted to see a trick. She put the lobster on the floor, standing up on it's head, folded it's claws over, curled up it's tail, and started rubbing it's back. In about 4 seconds, that lobster was fast asleep and balancing on it's head by itself. To wake it up, all she did was wiggle it's legs and he woke right up. Courtney LOVED it! I so wish I had my camera to take pictures for her. She'll be talking about it for the next 2 weeks!

Anyway, now with knowing we'll be out of here by the end of the month, I've been thrown into a crazy hectic whirlwind. I've spent the last couple months packing storage unit totes and cardboard boxes for the house, and the basement is just loaded with every thing packed. That was a couple months worth of work. And didn't even put a dent into everything we have left to pack. *sigh*

So today and everyday this month will be spent cleaning, packing, organizing, and D.I-ing morning til night. And also doing work in our Rexburg house. Painting, measuring, building closet shelving, shopping for house stuff (floor to ceiling pantry, bookshelves, etc). Lots and Lots to do.

And strangely enough, as crazy as this month's schedule is going to be, I am so thankful. The Lord had us in mind when He threw this all together. A few of you know about Courtney's sunbeam situation, most don't. Long story short, her sunbeam teacher has a record and spent jail time last month for child neglect. I just could NOT shake this awful feeling i had that I shouldn't leave Courtney in her care. But Courtney just LOVES being a "big girl sunbeam!" and talks about how much she wants to go again. I had prayed about what to do, I didn't want to judge this teacher, but in my heart I just couldn't trust her.

Courtney will get to go next week because there will be a sub. But then we'll skip sunbeams the next 2 Sundays, and that's all she'll miss. Then we'll be in Rexburg and she'll be a happy big girl sunbeam again in a class who's teacher doesn't have a record, and I can go to Relief Society with a calm mind not worrying myself sick over her.

So with all that said, I'm going to go eat a quick bowl of cereal, put my hair in a pony, and get to packing!
