After Exactly One Year... -posted by katie

We moved into Mike Krotz's house on November 22nd and guess what day we moved out, November 22nd! Crazy, eh? This was actually November 21st (the night before) and a whole bunch of our awesome friends came to help out. Thanks, Uncle Mike, for being so generous to let a family of seven live with you for so long!

Our home for a short while.
The actual and real truck!
The door leading down to the basement (that is Elizabeth and I's bedroom down there).
Mary on the ramp.
Mary still on the ramp and the beginnings of a packed truck.
Nic (yellow shirt) and Dad.
And it's full! Good job, guys!
Some last minute packing of paperwork by yours truly.
Then it was time for dinner! Yummy chili. L-R: Felecia, Hannah, Trish, Chavvah.
Nic and Mary deep in conversation.
Something amusing.
We tried to tell Jake that it was unhealthy to drink out of the spray bottle, but he insisted. *wink*
Fia getting FOOD!
Chat.
A place of memories...
The Waynes brought Challah bread since it was the night of Shabat (sp?) for them (being Messianic Jews). It was pretty neat to have a sort of communion with all these good friends...
Ben and Austin (left) take some from Mr. Wayne (right). The little fellows loved it :)
Mrs. Wayne passing it 'round.


Then we prayed and partook of the challah bread. It was awesome, thanks Waynes!
After that sober time, my dad obviously thought everyone needed some lightening up *laugh* Yes, this is blackmail.
Mr. Wayne only encouraged him.
Buds.

Thanks everyone who helped us move! You were such a blessing... Pics of the new house coming soon! So stay tuned :)
