Its no secret to anyone who’s talked with me about Hayward, that it wasn’t a good fit for our young family. After scouring the east bay, I quickly fell in love with Pleasanton and we actually found something available right away. The only problem? It was right in the middle of season…so I called on the strongest women I know, some tireless Turners.
Though Katels isn’t in this pic, she equally helped out, and even Reece and Capri joined the chaotic moving party. Momma and Katels, you are simply the BEST. And Momma, I can’t stop laughing about the mattress.
Before Gus arrived in the bay after a grueling double loss roadtrip, we had the family sign up (compliments of Suzanne and Justin), the furniture laid out and even a few boxes emptied in our new Townhouse in downtown P-Town.
I had to include this little pic on our last morning in Hayward. One of the things we did all love were all the deer that visited us daily, and it looks like they came one last time to say goodbye.
So we surprised Gus when he arrived back to the Hayward house ready to move in the pouring rain, and instead he found the house sparkling clean and empty. I couldn’t have done it without my amazing family of strong, selfless women and some very generous Mormon Missionaries (new neighbors who saw us unloading and offered help)!!! It was way harder than we could’ve imagined and we were EXHAUSTED to say the least, but Gus’s utter SHOCK and sincere appreciation made it all worth it.
Now it’s time to hit up the hot tub; apartment living has it’s perks!
