Moving Again to a New Address

Breaking news! Our daughter and her husband moved again. It's been a handful of months ago, actually, but I'm finally getting around to posting this fun "we've moved" card.  They wanted it to include where they started and where they met, Idaho Falls, and their progression from there. Also they wanted the TV stations that they have been employed at to be included too. They worked at the same station in Idaho Falls, Idaho, but when they moved to Spokane, Washington they worked at different stations. And now in Denver they are at different stations as well. It's a friendly rivalry so that's the good news. And who doesn't prefer good news?! They just want you to watch the news!

She's Moved Again

It's actually kind of fun to move our daughter even though it's a lot of work. She's got "stuff", that's for sure. And I don't believe she ever dusted the tops of picture frames in the two years she lived in Idaho. But we got to hang out with her A LOT so the clean up, packing and unpacking was worth it. And once again I was able to create a fun "I've Moved" card for her. One of her favorite colors is a golden yellow so when I saw some chrome yellow vellum envelopes in the bargain bin at the paper store I had to buy them and design a card that would be a fun peek-a-boo.

AWOL

Definitely absent with out leave! The past month has flown by and a big chunk of it had me busy doing this ~ packing a U-Haul van.

And this ~ "one last visit" to some favorites haunts of The Daughter.



















And just like when we moved her to Idaho, it was snowing when we moved her to Washington, but not near as bad.

And now I get to work on her "I've Moved" cards! Yeah!

Move is not a "four-letter word"!

Someone recently told me that people don't like the word "move". Apparently "relocate" is preferred. As if there's something wrong with moving. I suppose I'm not thinking that it conjures up the day when everything gets packed in boxes, a "moving" van comes and the sad goodbyes take place. Does "relocating" happen in an easier fashion?

Over a year ago we "moved" our daughter all the way up to Idaho. And I say "all the way up" because it was a long haul in a U-Haul on snow and ice covered roads! But her adventure was just beginning and we were so excited for her. Was it because she'd landed her first big job out of college and we were no longer paying tuition and other assorted bills? Well maybe. But honestly, to know she was launching into the world, and into her career that she had worked hard for, was thrilling.

We had our sad goodbye at the airport when we flew back home but my next little project awaited me. Her "I've Moved!" cards of course! So many people had asked "Now where exactly is Idaho Falls?" so that's what I started with... a map.

Okay, "move" does have four letters in it, but it's not a four-letter word.
