My mom who watched the kids, by herself, the whole week while we were away in IL. It was SO NICE for us and the kids that they didn't have to be packed along on the house hunt. Mom kept everyone happy, was cheerful during the crazy snow storms that hit, and brought crafts and movies and fun toys.
Our Church family who took care of my mom while we were away. Every time it snowed, someone showed up to clear the driveway. My mom got other calls and invitations throughout the week. It was very appreciated.
The First Presidency Christmas broadcast It is one of my favorite things of the Christmas season. The messages are heartwarming. I can't get enough of the music. Seeing shots of Temple Square this time of year makes me home sick for UT. The kids have been sick, and so we didn't take them to watch it at church. But fortunately, we get BYUtv at home.

WOW. You amaze me and are totally my idol. I can't even imagine deciding to move so spur of the moment, find a house in such a short time, and survive it all! Your mom is awesome, I'm sure that is where you learned it all. Good luck and I can't wait to hear about the house!
Jackie- Don't be amazed! I'm a complete nut job. Remember how I forgot to pack my undies for the trip? I also placed a significant gift order to be delievered to a store on the other side of the country instead of Michigan. Just got that worked out this morning. Good grief. I wish I was more like my mom in times like these! But thanks.
So glad to hear the trip was so successful! Already have a house, huh? Wow! I hope things continue to come together for you. Thanks for the update.
Jesse..
glad all is all working out!
The week after Christmas? That is too soon! I guess I wasn't aware that Cori started his new job already. I live like two seconds away but seem so out of the loop. But I hope that all goes well with the move. Let me know when. I can watch the children. I'll be here the 16th and 18th, but we'll be in Salt Lake the 21-28. I actually don't work at all the 29-2nd and will be here with my kids. They'd love to play, and if they want to see the new puppy we're picking up from Toledo on the way back from Salt Lake.
Hey Jesse I've done stuff like that before. On Christmas eve I bought basketball tickets for a game in Florida. It happens to us all. Good Luck!
BEST of luck mamacita. I'm sorry things are so stressful for you and hope it all turns out smoothly in the end. What are you going to do with your house there in MI?
Sweetheart, You are much better put together than I could ever be. I LOVED being with the dumplings but I spent each day thinking "How does she do it?" and looking at the bed and thinking "Just a few more hours and you and I will be together again." Hope everyone's feeling OK. XXXOOO
Busy, busy busy! I'm glad you have such a helpful mom and are able to accomplish so much so quickly. Good luck with the move.
I want to stop by and Wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas! Say hi to your mom and dad and the rest of the crew!
