The Big Move

I say Big Move for two reasons. It is the second move for us in a little over a month and we are expecting to get over a foot of snow in the next two days for the second time within a week here in Denver. Last time our neighborhood got over 2.5 feet (some places got more, some less). The neighborhood roads are still in recovery mode from the first storm! You still have to keep your car moving or you will get stuck! Thankfully we live at the edge of the neighborhood so that makes it easier. Most of the main arterials are clear, but many of them still just have one lane open in each direction because of all the snow!
So, we are supposed to close on our new house tomorrow. We are contemplating getting a truck today and loading this afternoon and then unloading tomorrow around noon so we can hopefully beat the storm. We will then have to move the rest of our stuff after the storm and after they get the roads cleared!! Who knows when that will be? Thankfully, we have this rental house until January 4th. Laren has lined up a few guys to help on Saturday, but if it is anything like last week everyone will still be snowed in and not be able to get out of their neighborhoods to help!!
Today is a day of packing! I need to get in there and take down Christmas and put together some boxes so the kids can get their clothes and toys packed. We are thinking of using Vonage for our new phone service. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Kari,

How fun and exciting for you. I hope the weather does not get too bad for you guys.

On Vonage I have a couple of friends who have absolutely hated it. One could never even get it to her house, the others after a month could not stand how often their phones did not work etc. I thought it sounded like an awesome company until everyone I meet who has it hates it and is trying to get out, which is a nightmare.
Happy Moving

I just love you keeping a blog! It is so fun to keep up with your life. Who are all the people that comment? Did you invite them or did they find you?

Krista,
They are friends, people who I "met" through finding their blogs. And one, Katie, I know from an LDS message board.
