Packout Day #3


All things considered. This was a smooth packout! 

The one stress: My piano. I hope they moved it properly!!! Watching this man and his son take it apart and build a box for it I was terrified. He was great at building boxes but my faith in his piano assembly experience was lacking. We'll find out in 3-4 months! This piano is the single most important piece of furniture in our family. 



Thank goodness!!! for kids who don't mind taking the Brood X Aliens back outside.
And quadruple thank goodness!!!!! For the best neighbors ever. The girls spent hours making a new doll house for Faustina since ours is on an airplane(or sitting in a warehouse) on it's way to Oman. Besides entertaining my girls for about 8 hrs a day, they also supplied me with a vitamix and yoga mat which I'm incredibly thankful for. I am SO blessed!!!

Farewell

My kids and I have made the best friends while we were here in NoVa. It's been a little heart wrenching to say good-bye. Thankfully it was packed full of friend time so that the girls hardly even had time to notice that we were saying good-bye. I will forever be thankful for the women and men who made all this possible. You will each be missed and I can only anticipate when next our paths cross.

Meet the Poulsons

Image
We've had several new families move in, both to the Embassy and church! The Poulsons are an instant fit. They have a missionary, a BYU Freshman, and kids Brigham's age. They also love to adventure and are a lot of fun! We did some snorkeling, some paddle boarding, beach combing and tried to rescue a dead turtle that looked like it had recently died in a fishing net. We took them to Bimah Sinkhole and White Sands Beach. She wanted to jump but yet, she didn't. It's always a guessing game for her courage.

A Red Carpet Moment

Image
The opening of the musical season at the Opera House made my heart beat fast. I wanted to have something formal to wear if I ever needed it so I had a dress made. I was incredibly nervous about the whole procedure but also pleased with the results. Matt bought me tickets to see Rigoletto.  As excited as I was, the production was incredible! I'm still dreaming about it and even Matt loved it-he doesn't like opera. After getting a beautiful dress i was super nervous about how to get me up to par. The toll my hair loss had taken is really tragic for me. It was doing better until the most recent episode Elise shared with me after catching it in Egypt. While it wasn't perfect, It was better than I'd thought.  It didn't really turn out like I thought but it worked. While the dress is beautiful, it doesn't really flatter my figure. It's a LOT of dress. I was excited to show Matt around the opera house but he was maybe a little uncomfortable. I have no idea why. He ...
