July 31, 2008 will be a day that stands out in Patrick's mind for a long time. After much last minute running around and tending to details needed for the closing, the time was set for 3:00 at Susan Greene's office. We had lots of family to volunteer to help but since the move was scheduled for a week day, everyone had to work. I met Patrick at his house around 11 and we got the packing done of the kitchen. I took him to UHaul to pick up the 17 foot truck that he rented and back to his old house to get started. When we got there, Brad was already there and waiting to get started. Taylor Dugger came to help and that really made it go faster.
They got all of his stuff from the old place loaded and then we headed to Mom's for all the things he had in her basement. Then it was time to go to closing! Susan was as excited as we were! Todd Moser from the closing company came and they were ready to start signing.
This is Myra Simons from First State Bank. She is such a precious lady. Brad and I worked with her on our house and we were thrilled that she was able to help Patrick with his. She did not even have to come to the closing but said she just wanted to because she thought so much of Patrick.
On the way to his house Wayne Benton called to see if he could come help and in no time he was there unloading with the guys. Jackson Routh called and said he was coming when he got off work and he got there in time for the run to our house to get more furniture and the patio furniture that Nita and Ray gave him. Jackson also showed Patrick how to hook up all the electonic stuff and the surround sound to the TV. Brad went and got the lawn mower and began on the yard. The grass was very high and it was so hot but Brad was determined to cut and weed eat and it looks so nice.All the sisters have already volunteered to come for a work day Saturday so I will post some more pictures tomorrow. He is so happy and we are so happy and proud for him!
