No Turning Back Now

It is pretty much official that we are moving to MD. The big U-Pack trailer was delivered this morning, so it is really happening. If all goes according to plan we will pack the trailer on Saturday and head out a few days later. We just have to do the hardest part, packing up everything. How disorganized I feel right now you would think I haven't ever done a move accross the country. Where do you start? Last time we did a big move I had everything organized weeks before, now it is so much to do so little time. If the weather cooperates we will be heading out mid next week and get to MD on the 8th. Yikes!!! Very stressful, what are we thinking?

Moving

Well today we sold our house!!! We had about 20 people(seriously we had that many) the last six days look through our house, we got four offers last night. One actually accepted our counter offer, we were kind of surprised because their offer was really low. We have to be out of our house Dec.1, so we will have tons to do in the next few weeks. Let's cross our fingers that the contract goes through and no issues arise before then. Then we will be heading back to Maryland, yea. We never really thought that we would actually sell our house. We will need to stay with someone here in Utah for a week, before we start our journey east. Nate wanted to give his current employer three weeks notice, so that he could tie up loose ends. Our house is going to be a madhouse the next few weeks, hah hah. We are definetly going to miss our families here in Utah, we will have to visit often.

Winter already?






We woke up this morning to it snowing outside, crazy. So we decided to make the most out of the wintery day. Chandler actually posed for the camera. He likes to get his picture taken.

Spence chillin outside






Spencer decided to make the most our of our wintery day. He wanted to pull out all of the winter clothes and hats and try them on. He put my gloves on and hid his face. He would not really look at the camera when he was outside playing.

Fun winter hats







Here is Lexie trying on some of our winter hats. She just looked so cute in her white bear hat. Spencer decided that he would put his hat on her also.

Halloween Night






After returning home from Liberty Park, we got ready for a night of trick or treating. Chandler was Spiderman; Spencer was Batman; and Lexie was a pumpkin. We had a hard time getting a good picture of Spencer, so this is what we ended up with. Our kids had tons of fun going around to all the houses in the neighborhood. Our kids were bummed that Halloween night was over. As usual they got tons of candy, and most of it they don't like.

Halloween Day Fun





Nate had a couple days off, so we decided to go to the Tracy Aviary on Halloween Day. Here are Chan and Spence enjoying the birds. It was a nice day, so after we decided to go swing and play on the playground. The Aviary is located in Liberty park, which has a ton of things to do.
