Moving Day

This past week was spent packing up our entire house getting ready for moving day, so my first week of maternity leave was not the most relaxing! However, I am very grateful that I had so much time to pack and not have to worry about other stuff.

Half of our things in one room!

So yes, finally Saturday arrived and we got to move into our new house. Yay! We have been waiting for months and the day finally came. It started out with a bit of rain and a trip up to the house with some small loose items in our little Toyota Yaris.  Then we picked up a big moving truck and drove to Frøstrup.  There our friend and neighbor David as well as Søren’s Dad and Hanne met us to help pack the truck.  We had to take 2 trips with the big truck, but then all our belongings were in Skjern, our new hometown! Luckily we had some friends to help empty the truck here in Skjern, so it all went fast and smooth…At least I thought so, but then again I didn’t so much lifting and moving   Another friend brought some cake over to the house and we all had a short break from moving.

After the 2nd load was delivered we ate lunch and relaxed a bit.  However, Søren’s Dad was quiet anxious to help with all sorts of things so the lunch break wasn’t so long.  It was great to have him to help set up lights, tighten the toilet seat, put doors back on, move boxes around and arrange things! All the small details!  As the men were working on those things Hanne and I were in the kitchen putting the 5 boxes of kitchen supplies and food away in the respectable drawers. By dinner time we were all happy with our efforts and had a nice dinner before Benny and Hanne went home. 

Søren and I enjoyed a relaxing evening watching TV, hooking up the internet and just talking about all the exciting things we have experienced lately. 

We slept very well our first night in our new home, and didn’t discover any strange night time noises. Then today, Sunday, we woke up, had breakfast and unpacked a few boxes before getting ready for church.  It was an absolutely beautiful day so we decided to bike to church! It was fun and awesome that we had that option to bike!

So yeah…now we are looking forward to unpacking more this next week and taking breaks here and there to visit friends and family for the Easter break.  Søren is working on his huge and final project before graduation….it’s called a "Bachelor Assignment."  So he’ll be working on that and taking breaks to unpack a box or two!

We are well and happy and thanking our Lord today on Palm Sunday for the blessings He has bestowed on us!
