Michael's here to say....

Can you guess??

No!  We are not sending him away.  And no, we're not trying to say that he showed up in a box on the doorstep.  We are moving....again.

We found a place in North Salt Lake and we are moving in two weeks.

We've moved a lot in the short 2 1/2 years we've been married.  This will be our fifth move (sixth if you count when Josh moved into my parents house with me our first month of marriage before we headed up to Logan).  As you can imagine I've got packing down to a science.  I know exactly what to put in each box, how to fit all of our clothes into the back seat of one car, and the best way to move our electronics.  Here are a few things I've learned:

• Tv's do best in the back seat of a car.  Throw a bunch of clothes underneath it and it will ride great.
• Dvd players, Wii's, etc. do great packed in luggage.  Luggage is padded more than boxes.  Plus, you don't have to check that the electronics box wasn't swiped by someone.
• Pack underwear in a duffle bag....just do it.  It's embarrassing if you don't
• Empty all drawers into boxes, you don't want to lose anything
• Use all towels and blankets between furniture
• Save newspaper for 2-4 weeks before your move and stuff glasses, wrap plates, and cover all things fragile with it.  Make sure you re-wash all dishes when you unpack because you will taste something funky if you don't.
• Think about what is in the fridge.  You can plan to eat up what's in the fridge prior to moving, but remember all of the condiments sitting in there.  It might be a good time to throw away the year old bottle of ranch dressing, but it can also be a waste if you don't make cooler space for it. 
• Pack toilet paper last.  And maybe some soap.  You never know if you or someone moving you will need to hit the bathroom as soon as you get to your new place.  
• Order the thank you pizza before you start unpacking.  If it's early it will give people more incentive to move everything in faster.  

Most of these are probably common knowledge, but maybe there is some hidden gem among them.  

We are excited to move again.  We will really miss this ward.  It took a while for them to warm up to us (having cute babies helps in every ward) but it has been fun to meet some of these people.  When we moved we thought this would be a more permanent place, but there is a lot of pressure on us to move.  So we are packing up and shipping out!
