MOVING DAY #1
well, it’s finally here. the IMN and origins is over and the reality of moving hits me on the face. i have packed 1/3 of the downstairs and i haven’t either touched the four bedrooms upstairs. here are some photos of our first day:
—————> here’s crate #1 - this is the best moving invention ever.
—————> here - all 5 crates - we should be able to fit a 6 bed house in those.
—————> alex and lucas before the loading begins.
—————> staci joy happy as can be to be helping me move… haha.
—————> tina and cheryl packing the office.
—————> hard working gals - you guys rock =)
—————> nothing but muscles here - the guys are coming on thursday to load the heavy stuff… not that we need them or anything… lol.
A HUGE THANKS TO THE THOUSAND OAKS GALS FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND TO PATTY WHO CAME IN THE MORNING. IT WOULD BE HARD TO DO THIS ALONE… THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU… I OWE YOU.
my oldest son, michael, graduated from the INSIGHT program last saturday and i wanted to take this time to tell him:
“Son, I’m so proud of you. You are my oldest and it’s so hard to see you spreading your wings and getting ready to take flight, I know you will do great in life though. This planet is lucky/blessed to have you as one of it’s inhabitants… You make this world a better place. Keep your eyes on the only One who matters and may God bless you in your journey. I love you!”

You go ladies!!!! You’ll have to let us know how those pods work, they look like they are a good idea!

hey guys if you need a place to move into we have some great 4 bedroom homes (2200 square feet) here in Arlington for the price that you would pay for a 1 bedroom studio apartment there in LA!
hahaha
of course you wouldn’t have the mountains, views, ocean, cool nights, community of friends, Mosaic LA, etc…..
hope and pray you all find a place very soon!

Niza, looks like you girls have things totally under control.
By the way, I loved your singing at the conference. Really cool stuff with you singing and Alex on the guitar, sitting in a late evening with the fires lit. Very cool….

I may be able to help tomorrow morning, if Scott does not have any meetings so he can watch the kids. Will you still need help packing/loading?

Niza,
Several things~~ Thank you and Alex so much for everything you did for Eric and all the IMNers last week. Thank you for the Vox shirt and thank you for the signed CD~~ I actually cried when Eric gave it to me. He has so many wonderful stories and I am truly touched by your gifts of hospitality and graciousness. I wish so much that I could’ve been there. I hope everything works out for you and a house. I know how difficult that must be. I cannot wait until we meet one day!! It would be so awesome to have you all come down and help launch Silver City Mosaic’s Premier Night… Don’t have a clue when or where, but as you say we are just dreaming…. Again please tell Alex and your family thanks!

Wish we were close enough to help… but you are definately in our prayers… especially in your search for a house.

I send you virtual packing hugs. I wish I was that far along! Pods are expensive from Cincinnati to L.A.. Looks like I’m just bringing a rental van. Keep us posted on a house.

memorial day went well, even though i worked the entire weekend. i managed to go see X3 on monday night with a couple of good friends, so that was very cool. good luck with the moving. sinice it’s all underway, i guess you might as well just roll with it. God will give you guys someplace nice to set up camp in. hope all continues to go well, and like everyone else, i’ll send a few up for you guys.
