Moving is Like Labor

According to my mother, moving is like labor.  You forget how awful it is until you're in the thick of it.  I have to somewhat agree; however, I got a better prize at the end of labor-plus I was chalk full of drugs which was the greatest thing EVER, I don't care what anyone says.  We have moved 20 miles south to the thriving city that is Chandler, Arizona.  We moved for one reason-to save money and time spent in the car. Okay so that is two reasons.  Also, a change of scenery and our lease was up.  So we moved for many reasons-whatever.  Don't get me wrong-I loved Scottsdale for many reasons but I figure I am only 25 minutes away so I won't get all nostalgic. We were VERY fortunate to have Peggy and Jake fly all the way down here just to help us move.  We have the greatest family ever--seriously.  Yes it was a good excuse to see their new grandson and nephew but holy crap-I don't know what we would've done without them!
That is only half of our crap.  I can't imagine what it is like moving an entire house.  It gives me the puke in my mouths just thinking about it.

We are all moved in and really enjoy the first floor (minus the incessant visits from ear wigs and the two black widows we found outside on the porch).  Jake killed one of the ladies and screamed when he accidently missed her and then couldn't find her-but then he did and smashed her to smithereens.

Baby Cru and Baba
Uncle Jake got horfed on.  Sick but also funny.
Me n my boy
Zac n his boy
Jaitz n the boy.

Congrats on the move! Although, in my opinion moving is WAY worse than labor!!!I hate it with a passion. I'll take an 8 pounder passing through me any day over that mess. I can't wait to see you!!! Love you man.
