Whew. Moving is exhausting - even with the help of the many friends and neighbors who came both to the Hyrum house and to our new house in SLC to lighten our workload (THANK YOU!).
We had a semi-surprise visit a few days ago from my folks, who were 'on their way' back to Chicago on their big road trip to Alaska. What a treat to have them here, even if it was only for a few days. They've been on the road since before we found a house to buy, so they had no idea what to expect when they got here. Fun!

We've been in our new home for a little over a week now and I feel pretty good about how much we've gotten unpacked and organized so far, but there's still a lot to do. On Saturday 8/6 we returned to Hyrum to clean the house and to gather up the odds-and-ends we'd left behind, including our chickens who subsequently survived a harrowing 80-mile ride in a dog carrier on the back of our flatbed trailer. They were a little nervous that first day and night here, but yesterday Brandon and Gavin built them a sweet new coop out of our old dog house, so they're feeling much better.

I'm very impressed with the chicken coop, and the rapid construction thereof. No doubt due to the constant efforts of Little G!
