We are mostly settled into Wilsonville now - much thanks to our fantastic friends! Without all their help we would have had a much more difficult time getting settled!
Our good friend Ben came to help us load all of our stuff into the U-haul. Our house was a disaster when he arrived, but he really helped Dan out a lot with getting all the big heavy stuff into the truck. We're pretty sure he had a lot going on at work, so we are incredibly grateful that he was able to help load everything. Otherwise...I would have been stuck helping Dan lift all the heavy stuff and that just doesn't work out well!
Miranda (a friend from high school) came to help from 12 until 10:30pm!!! She is amazing and helped me carry all the random, light weight "girly" things not only into the moving truck, but we loaded her car up and she helped us unload everything in Wilsonville (read: a million trips up and down the stairs!). Plus she absolutely volunteered to do all this, we didn't even have to ask!!
Kris (aka powerhouse mover) helped us unload the entire truck in Wilsonville and helped get everything upstairs in under 1.5hrs. Amazing! It was a lot of working going up and down the stairs, so it was great having friends help us (less trips for Dan and I!) He also kept Dan entertained with good stories throughout. Thanks so much for your help Kris!

Half of our house is still packed up, but we already feel at home, which is great! We've still been back in forth to Salem more times than we'd like in the past few days, but we are excited to get more settled here and getting ready for Europe! We'll miss our great friends in Salem, but seriously we will make plans to see each other frequently. We plan to have a dinner/BBQ at our new place once we get back, so everyone is invited!
PS - I like this post because it's so "glamour shots" :)
