The Goodrums

So the big day - MOVING day - has come and gone! We have such great friends. I really can't tell you how great our friends are. Let's celebrate our friends! Whoop!! We couldn't have done this move without them.

Our friends Kevin and Allison Hoober really blessed us in a huge way (and more than once)! They called us on Friday the 20th and offered to bring us dinner and help us pack. Kevin is known around here as McHoober (see also MacGyver) 'cause he is probably the handiest person we know. He was so incredibly helpful as we took apart all of our furniture in preparation for the move on Saturday. A project that would have taken us probably 10 hours - took only about 3 with Kevin's help. We even got to go to bed by 10:00!

Saturday the 21st was the big moving day. Kevin & Allison came back to help (as if they hadn't already done enough). Our friends Eric & Amanda volunteered their trailer - which was essential. Our other friend Kevin (as in the Kevin & Christy variety) and Jeremy Jackson also came to help. We couldn't have done it without them! They saved my back and my sanity. :)

With all the vehicles and all the muscle, we managed to move all of our furniture and all of the boxes of stuff by mid-afternoon. I had hoped just to get the furniture moved. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that we would get EVERYTHING moved! What a huge blessing! The guys even put together the furniture again in the new house. We got to sleep in our beds on Saturday night.

After our initial move to Jackson, I had told Michael over and over that I would never move again without hiring movers. But with friends like this... who can argue!

Thanks to all who helped us in the move! You guys are great!!
