I just wanted to let you know a few of the things that happened this week.
- On Monday I spent three hours digging up dandelion weeds (part of our managing job), only to wake up on Tuesday to more. Spent half an hour on Tuesday, and then woke up to more on Wednesday. Then my dad told me that you have to spray them to get rid of them and that two more come up after you dig up one. So I've quit!
- I sorted through yet another part of our house (a job that seems to never end) and boxed up a good portion of the kids room.
- My parents (Brenda and Kerry) came to help Wednesday and Thursday and we all made a huge dent with our moving plans. We took four loads to our storage unit with my dad's truck. It was so wonderful to get to see them. We said our goodbyes to my parent's on Thursday, which was pretty emotional. For anyone who doesn't know, my parents are going to be serving a mission in the Pocatello Idaho area for one year, and we will be in Denmark for one year.
- Amidst all this activity, I took Ben and Liz to the dentist and the doctor for routine exams before we leave the country and went to the chiropractor.
- On Thursday I went to Ogden for my niece Sunnie's bridal shower and visited with her family. It was a great night.
- We got up early on Friday to take Ben to get two small cavities filled at the surgical center. One of those small cavities turned out to be a toddler root canal, and they doctor also found one more cavity to fill in addition to the others. Poor guy!
- Jacob spent all day Friday in Salt Lake getting Process Burner Operation Training. I sorted through the kids clothes a second time.
So step by step we are getting ready to leave the country and make our big move to Denmark. It has been a wild ride so far and is only getting wilder. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

Poor Ben! You are doing great, be methodical with your packing that's going with you, and inventory every box if at all possible! You will be glad you did. I used an excel spreadsheet, and numbered the boxes. Then you know the highest numbers are your most needed stuff b/c they got packed last. Also mark on each box which room it goes into; that makes the unloading a lot easier. What a great adventure you are going on!
Crazy! I am so excited for you guys!!! I think that it is so great that you are doing to Denmark and taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity while you can! We love you guys and we will miss seeing you at family events! Have so much fun and keep us posted on the blog!
Wow! What an adventure you guys are taking! Good luck with moving and having the baby! We send our love and wishes! Keep in touch! Post alot so we can see what fun you guys are having in Denmark!
Sounds crazy. Good luck! We love you.
Wow, so much to do! Glad you got so much done. I love you and am excited for you. Miss you and wish I was seeing you tomorrow. :(
I'm guessing you are all just getting settled in and I hope things are going well. I don't know when you might be able to see this, but Landon has been asking me "Where's Abi" everyday for the past couple of days. I keep telling him she's in Denmark. Apparently he wants to come see you all and I wish we could too! Good luck getting all settled in, we have been thinking about you.
