Well the day came and our HUGE ABF truch was parked in our driveway on Wed the 3rd. Phil had sent out an email for people to come help him that night and we were pleasantly surprised by the number we had. Wives of the following; Steve, Dan Hurst, Paul Dickinson, Casey, Dan Hodson, Dave Cain, and Matt Please give them the hugest thanks from the Olsen's! We are so grateful for their help, especially Matt and Dave Cain for staying for the long haul for a game of packing style tetris ;)
This was our house when the guys came to move! What a disaster! Thank you to the best friends, Laura and Lisa for helping me clean and Ash for helping with the kiddos!
Koen was definitely sad to see his mattress get packed away and kept crying "my bed" He laid on it until the very last minute!
What a great spot to eat snacks, Koda couldn't even get to him there!
Ko in the truck, pre packing it
He loved "his" big truck in our driveway. Here it is packed in tight, 8 feet!And a big thank you to Laura and Lisa who threw a little goodbye party for us at the park(and everyone who came and brought something)! It was great to be able to see everyone and have a chance to mingle and say goodbye. Those few days before we left were definitely top 5 most stressful, lack of sleep, emotional and everything else. It was a great way to relax and spend some time with GREAT friends!
Andrea, Braden me and Ko. Obviously Ko was mouch more interested in my shirt than a pic
I didn't really realize until I just uploaded this pic that it is my best friends! I am so happy I got this! These are my day to day hang out and chat friends! I already miss you and kinda want to cry right now! Just have to state that I love Matt in the back and my ring looks bling bling. Brook, Kort, Me, Lis, and Laur
Ashley, Grady, Me, Sabine, and JoleneLittle shot out to Sabine (even though I think she boycotts blogs :) Thank you for bringing us food that day before we left and had nothing! Michelle you can pass the word along:)
The long lost couple
Ko and his friends. It is sad he asks for them all the time. I think he still thinks we are on vacation, so do I sometimes. I think it is easier that way. :)Ko, Tess, Max, Addi, and Annie
I wish I could have gotten pics with everyone. I am glad we took the pic of most the girls at the Labor Day party. Suz I missed seeing you there and wanted to thank you for dinner the night you brought it! YUM! I have the best friends! Keep in touch!
PS Stay tuned for; New family pics, Trip home (Nauvoo, Independence, Farr West and Liberty), and more!

I already miss you and we never really even hung out! I'll tell Dave about his shout out. I'm pretty sure it will make him feel famous.
Great update, Lesh! Reading it makes me sad - you guys sure did have some great friends back in Erie.....but I am SO HAPPY that you're back home!!! We've missed you guys ALOT! It will be so great to have you back with The Fam!
I'm glad you blogged cause now I know your home! Welcome back! You better call or email me soon :)
Leash, that seriously made me want to cry...ahhh you and Ko still think you are on vaction, this is going to be the longest vacation ever. I totally know what you are going through, feeling like you are starting all over, but just know that in no time you will be in a routine and things will be great...and plus your sister just lives a hop skip and a canyon jump away!!! Love ya little sis!
P.S. I am totally stoked about Scrapbook Expo...you are staying the whole time! Now that is an order.
I'm glad you did a new post, I've been waiting patiently. It looks like you made some awesome friends out there in Erie. I feel you had to leave them. :( Thanks again for the headbands and the swim suits you gave me, I love them so much! I love being the girl you give your clothes to!! Love ya Lesh, glad you're back in the ville.
Oh my heck, we miss you guys a ton. I can not believe you are really back in Utah. I think when we look back on our erie time it will seem like such a short amount of time we were here. I am so glad we were able to have so much fun with you guys. keep in touch.
i was wondering when you'd have time to blog again! Welcome back, i bet it feels really weird being home.
Oh I miss ya!! I felt like you were some what close to me... probably my closest friend even though you were hours away. I still can't believe you got that in 8 ft. CRAZY so if you had this big truck why'd you pack it into the 8 ft? why didn't you use the whole truck??
Mixed feelings after reading this post! I am super sad and pretty teary for 2 reasons. #1...You are REALLY gone! #2...It made me think about the day that I have to leave here! Both are totally depressing. I am glad to see you guys move onto the next phase of life though. Love you guys!
I think I've already said this, but I know you are sad to leave, but I'm sure happy to have you back!!! When you get settled, lets play!
By the way, there is a house across the street for sale...I told my friend that you guys are buying it, so don't sale it to anyone else! HAHA
ok Sha, I am sitting here with tears in my eyes for you and for all your friends you left behind! No one can really understand what friends mean until you go away from home and have no family - then your friends are your family. I miss having you out here in the east with me - but I'll like seeing you when I am in Utah! love ya. Lieu Lieu
Glad to see you guys made it home safely!! Sounds like you guys and Koen had some great friends in Erie.
Well, you know my feelings about this post already ;o) We miss you guys!
And, um, I love that picture of all of us too....but I totally look like I'm 200 lbs.!!! Oh heavens!
Much love!!!
Wish we could have been there for the good bye party. Thanks for taking time to come up to our new LECOM house and check it out before we left on our trip. You guys are great! Have fun in Utah!
The whole packing, cleaning and moving thing is one of my least favorite things ever! That did not look like fun! All the parties your friends threw for you did though! It sounds like you are leaving behind some pretty awesome people. It sounds like you guys had a really great experience the last two years in Erie. We are really happy to have you back though!
