Omaha

Blake's parents got to come out our last few weeks in Omaha. We are SOOO grateful to them for all the help they were when they came. They cleaned, packed, entertained, ran errands, or anything else we needed them to do. It was so nice to just have an extra set of adult hands, and minds. Blake and I even got to go on a date! We all got to play a little while they were here too.

Remi in heaven!!! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa

 We took Blake's parents to the Old Market District. We enjoyed some ice cream, walked around and went on a horse drawn buggy ride. The buggy lit up and everything. Remi was in heaven. She looked like Cinderella going to a ball

After Blake's graduation the Friday before we left we decided to enjoy one last camping trip. I know, crazy. Most people wouldn't choose this as their top thing to do before leaving the country. I wanted to though. This is something that I think is so fun. It is really a stress free time for me. We took Blake's parents to "our lake." It is the lake Blake shot his deer at and the lake we would go fishing at when we wanted to be alone as a family. It was fun to see Blake and his dad fishing together. His mom and I played games with the kids and helped them fish. Then we headed to the campsite, ate dinner and fished some more. In the morning the boys went back to the lake for one last time fishing and us girls played games, went for a walk and just relaxed. It was a nice break from the craziness of moving.

When we got home we hit the ground running and still haven't stopped! We got all our stuff packed to take on the airplane and Sunday afternoon we moved into TLF. The rest of the week was spent cleaning, watching packers pack, cleaning some more and getting everything organized for the flight. Blake's parents were great! They entertained the kids the whole time Blake and I had to be at the house or running errands. They even took them to the zoo one last time. We will miss that zoo, our ward, our friends and all the fun things we had to do in Omaha. We will miss Blake's parents and the rest of our family too. Hopefully everyone will come visit!
