It is funny what you come across as you load up all your earthly possessions into cardboard boxes....
* A love note written from a love-sick BYU student to her 'long distance' (clear in Salt Lake) boyfriend. Oh the memories!
* The first letter Dallin ever wrote, to his cousin Carson, when we had just moved here and Dallin was in kindergarten. The printing is precious, the accompanying illustration darling. It was sent and then returned by my smart sis who knew I'd want to keep it in his book for always!
* And this:
Shouldn't it be considered 'vintage' at this point? Why, you may ask, do I still have this lovely pastel Caboodles case? It makes a GREAT storage compartment for Chad's shoe polish. ;)

I love it! I bet Chad is thrilled for his secret to be out in the blogosphere...
Can I help you at all as you pack-pack-pack?
This packing must mean you are close to moving into your new house?? Pics please!!!
Don't let Chad be too embarrassed by his sweet box. Keith has had to take his lunch to work in a pink Hello Kitty lunchbox a few times lately, courtesy of my sweet girl. At least Chads pink box stays in the closet at home! :)
Sweet! Totally vintage. Can't wait for the grand tour with walls! :)
I have been thinking about you all week! PLEASE post pictures once you are all moved in to your gorgeous house. Good luck with everything.
I think that was really thoughtful of Chad to keep that box. I mean, most men would be embarrassed, but not Chad. I just better make sure Jacob doesn't see that Chad still has his. I haven't been forgiven for throwing out Jacob's yet. :)
PS. Good luck on the packing. I'm trying to decide if I would rather be packing or facing labor. I guess it doesn't matter what I decide, one of them is coming, ready or not.
excuse me, but you don't just throw away caboodles. please. they're timeless. mine holds sewing stuff.
I still have my all-pink Caboodle. It holds Faith's plethora of finger-nail polish & manicuring supplies. I wish I were there in Grandma's suitcase right now. I'm missing you an EXTRA bit today. Love you.
I just caught up on your blog - your kids are so adorable and you are such a neat, happy family. REally wish your new home was being built in this friendly state! Pics please! And thanks for your comments on my blog - I love that I can keep in touch with you through this crazy blogosphere!
