We've Moved!

Last week Patrick started his training for the 111 mile "Ulcer" bike race. On Monday
Mom and Dad took us to Pearl Izumi in Park City and helped Patrick get bibs, a jersey and shoes for the bike race. Dad is lending him a custom built titanium Schwinn road bike. It is beautiful and it was built for Greg Florez who has a similar build as Patrick.

On Tuesday, Patrick and I went on a family bike ride. It was only ten miles, but it was pretty fun. We went with Catherine, Mike, Mom and Dad and Jacob Francis. We rode out by the airport. Everyone biked so fast and looked so cool on their rode bikes. I wore flip flops and kept up pretty well with my beach bike.

On the fourth of July we decided to help Laura move. She had been in a house which turned out to be a bad situation. The landlord really tried to rip her off. So, Laura found another house to move into, owned by a friend from work, Steve. (NO NOT STEVE EROR) Any way he had been trying to sell his house for a year and it just wasn't happening so he decided that he would take it off the market and let Laura and her roommate Tara rent the place. We moved all her things into a moving van and we got in our car... and we got a phone call. It was Steve. Coincidentally Steve had just sold the house. Laura was welcome to move in for a few weeks but that was all. She had no where to go and it was the fourth of July.

Patrick and I looked at each other and thought... well our lease has technically started in Boston and we currently have two apartments. We were only staying in our current apartment so that we can have the baby here in Salt Lake and then move to Boston in August. Well, we decided that we might as well let Laura live in it now. That way she has a place to live and we will only be renting one apartment at a time. So we moved all of Laura and Tara's things into our apartment and Patrick's cousin Linda let the girls stay with her while we took the rest of the week packing. Laura is letting us put our boxes going to Boston in the corner. Otherwise all of our stuff will be at mom and dad's house.

After a long exciting day we went to watch fireworks with Patrick's parents and aunt and uncle at the Hotel Park City. (see pictures)

We finally packed our last Boston box at 2:00 am on Saturday night with Sterling. Laura has been wonderful. She helped us pack our kitchen for Boston and she has given us time to move. Mom has helped with everything from shampooing carpets to chocolate donut deliveries for me. Dad helped us move our mattress to their house in his brand new pick up truck. (I have to say it is a gorgeous truck.) Anne Linda and my mom helped me with DI runs and helped me move all of our things into mom and dad's basement on Friday. Sterling is a good friend who helped us decided that their is no way the ply wood cabinet is making it to Boston at two o'clock in the morning. Catherine and Mike made the basement ready to live in. They got the nursery, bathroom, bedroom and kitchen ready. Thank you thank you thank you everyone!!!!!
Well, we had a crazy week last week. I really appreciate all the help that we got from everyone.

By the way it is week 39 of the pregnancy and the baby is still not here... and with the move it turned out to be a good thing because we were able to get everything we needed to finished!
