Our very busy weekend

Well, Blake and I made it through the weekend! We both took the day off last Friday to move. It's amazing the amount of crap you accumulate and we've only been married six months!!!! Anyway, we went and signed papers and got keys to our new apartment. Then I went to class while Blake packed up some of our stuff in his parents explorer and one of our cars that I would drive. Well I got to the apartment first, stuck the key in the lock, and guess what? The deadbolt jammed (Murphy's law totally applies to my entire life!), so they had to call a locksmith. By that time Blake was there and the two of them had to climb to one of our windows and crawl in to work with the door from the inside. By that time Blake and I had moved two loads of stuff to our apartment and were starving. So he took me to lunch for my birthday (yeah, happy birthday to me I moved all day long! ;- )). We then went right back to work loading and unloading our things. His parents and my parents showed up with their trucks to load the bigger items at about five, so that by seven we were all moved in. My mom-in-law brought pizza, pop, and cheesecake over and we had a little birthday bash. By then I was so tired I didn't really even get to enjoy it that much. After everyone left, Blake and I set to work getting our bedroom organized so that we could at least sleep. We knew we were really tired when we got a case of the tired giggles at 8:45 (sad, I know!). Then we were up bright and early (5:30) the next morning to go to the Twin Falls Temple to do sealings as a family. It was sooooo awesome to see my parents, my siblings, and all their spouses in a sealing room at the temple. It was a neat experience for all of us. We then went back to Jeff and Kerry's new place in Twin Falls for cake and ice cream for my b-day. We left at about 2:30, and once we got back to Pocatello we had to go and clean our old apartment, and then clean up a bit to go to a wedding reception. Needless to say my Sunday nap was sooooo needed! Anyway, Blake and I are happy with our new apartment, and hope to be able to invite people over as soon as we clear away the boxes and organize a little!
