What's the difference between a yard, garage, rummage and moving sale?
Thu, Mar 26 2009 08:52
Not much, but we're having a sale this Saturday that's more than just Spring Cleaning!
There are a lot of things Duane and I don't want to haul to New York and have decided to have a moving sale and this Saturday is the best weekend for us for many reasons. If you have anything you'd like to add to our collection of items, please contact me and I'll come pick them up Friday evening. Whatever is not sold Saturday will be taken to Deseret Industries that afternoon.
What: Moving Sale!
When: Saturday from 6:30-12:00
Where: 2111 W. Galveston Chandler 85224
A little later, I'll post pictures of some things that will be included in the sale.

New York, here we come!

We'll be moving to Albany, NY!!! This last Thursday Duane and I had a family get together and opened our "call" for residency! I could hardly believe it! It wasn't our first pick, nor our second, or third, in fact, it was our last choice for residency and I had never imagined moving there, but the idea is growing on us.
After living in sunny AZ for my entire life, it will be hard to leave for many reasons: we'll have a 4-6 week old baby, ALL our immediate family lives in the valley, and for heaven's sake I don't even know if they have good Mexican food out there!
We'll move sometime in the middle or end of June, just in time to escape the hottest time of year. For months I've been building up a large garage sale/Deseret Industries pile and hope to have a sale in about 2 weeks after I finish going through all the rooms. Whatever we don't sell will swiftly be sent to DI. Let the house cleaning, and decluttering begin!
If anyone happens to come across winter clothes deals, let me know. I'm afraid my winter wardrobe is not up to freezing cold standards!
After doing a little research we've found that the total cost of living is slightly higher than AZ. The houses are less expensive, but the utility costs are 44% higher than here, crazy!
Duane and I are trying to decide the best way to find a home in Albany. We've searched on CL to get an idea for what houses are going for, but need to talk with someone who's lived or is living there to get a feel for what neighborhoods are ideal for our needs and so forth. It'd be nice to buy a home, but I'm afraid we'll end up renting first for 6-12 months and then purchase a home since we don't have much time to shop around and airline tickets are not cheap. Any words of advice for us in this area would be greatly appreciated because we've got close to no clue what we want to do or what all our options are! Duane will contact a couple residence up there, who are members of the LDS church for advice, but we're open to any ideas at this point.
We're very excited, anxious, and nervous for this big change in our lives, but with the Lords help will be able to endure all things!

Lindsey's Baptism Pictures at the temple!
Sun, Mar 8 2009 02:03
What a beautiful women Lindsey is, inside and out! She was baptized yesterday, March 7 into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A couple days before the big one, Lindsey, my sister, April and I all went to the Mesa Temple and took pictures. The weather couldn't have been better, overcast and cool. April was there as a friend to Lindsey and an assistant for me! We put April's skills to the test by holding umbrellas for flash, and helping lug around the other camera equipment. What a trooper at 7 months preggers!
Lindsey was looking for fun, upbeat pictures and I think we got just that, mixed with symbolic and ironic photographs as well.
As soon as we saw this grassy area, Lindsey said, "It makes me want to do cartwheels!" though she claimed to not having done one for years.
Love the tat and mystical, historical stone!
Always beautiful flowers at the temple grounds!
The first words that come to mind after composing this picture was, "I love to see the temple, I'm going there someday...".
Lindsey is a dancer, so I told her to dance with the silk scarf.
A candid shot of Lindsey laughing at herself or was she laughing at April...
Lindsey, thank you for letting me take these photos and for sharing you sweet spirit with me, it's contagious!

Fav. shot; simple, yet powerful!
