I'm amazed how many ppl don't get it... but I do! I had a very simular experience!! Hubby and I had such a tug on our hearts to leave the only state we've ever known and we knew it was the Lord. We have 5 kids and hubby quit his successful IT job in DC and packed up everything and everyone and just drove straight to Texas from Va. We had no job lined up but just knew God wanted us here. We lived in a hotel until hubby got his new job going. Everything with that move went perfect and we had not 1 problem!! Hubby got a job the 2nd week of arriving and the 1st interview, which was his dream job at one of the top IT company (to put it lightly) in the country in Dallas area and we bought our farm in a rural town 45 miles from his work as he primarily works from home. Even buying our farm went perfect and not 1 problem. Our property, 4 years after purchasing, has doubled in value and we absolutely love our community. We found a church home that is our absolute best church home ever!!! I found my best friend, who is the best person on the planet, and her hubby is my hubby's best friend and their kids are my kid's best friends as well. 4 years later and they are close as family. Looking back, we see clearly how much the Lord led it, called our hearts and listening to Him was amazing but the biggest test of our faith and we are blessed. The most amazing thing was that my health went from poor (fibromyalgia and cancer) to very good and I haven't had much fibro symptoms and my stage 4 colon cancer just vanished and I had no treatments as we were moving. (5 years since we drove from Va and still no trace of the cancer and it had spread to my lungs and was terminal, diagnosed, before I left). I believe it was a gift for our obedience. I encourage you to always listen to that urging of your heart, the Lord gently tugging you, and know He knows better where you should be and what you should do and I'm so happy for you in doing exactly that and most ppl who are not of faith will not understand.
As a non religious person I don't understand how the Lord guides you about moving house. However I'm very glad it worked out so well for you.
Kimmy the peace you have from this big leap is a huge testament to trusting the Lord. While the anxiety on move in day may have just been overwhelm, I cant help but think it was Satan trying to stop you from following what Heavenly Father is calling you to do. You are such an encouragement to watch, and what you do share of your life is so inspiring to follow Him. Peace and blessings
Debbie B. Wow, what a testimony! I understand why they feel led to move too..the Lord is moving them. I am encouraged by your testimony of divine healing of cancer as my husband is battling the very same thing. We are standing in faith for his complete healing. Thank you for sharing.
💓❤💙💗💛💜🧡💖💕💚
I watched the entire video and still don’t know WHY you moved..?
Because they wanted to
It just simply felt like it was their time to relocate to a new place. That’s what I took from the video and it was also confirmed in a comment she replied to. It was just time!
God led them to move. I've been through it too and everything went just as perfect for me as well. I think she tries hard to not push her faith on her viewers and glazed over it but she definitely made it known. I can't imagine most will understand but it's such a fulfilling and exciting experience.
momet2001 BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO!!!!!!!!
I think that they were supposed to move because God was showing them what his will and plan for them was. I'm a Christian and as you read his word and pray and really seek his will for your life the holy spirit "speaks" to you through scripture, other Christians, feelings that you share with others, like her and her husband and even the kids had. They aren't even sure of God's whole plan for them but by faith they are trusting in him. God rarely reveals the whole picture to you. He wants you to be obedient and trust that he knows what's best for you and if you follow him you will be in his will. It's very hard to understand if you haven't accepted him as your Lord and Savior because you won't have the Holy Spirit in you to help you understand. I know that before I was saved I thought it sounded nuts lol. I hope this helps some of you!😊
I’m so confused? Why would you move your whole family, schools, friends, ward to move to an area you don’t want to stay in. Pay rent when you could have paid off more of your mortgage and not someone else’s?? Sorry I just don’t get it??
Lotti at Beanie Co Designs same. Very confused. Clearly they have their reasons but seems odd.
I wondered why she couldn't paint, they're renting?
Lotti at Beanie Co Designs In January we did the same thing. We sold our home, moved to a different area, started over. Now we’re renting instead of buying because it isn’t forever. Sometimes you do things for reasons others can’t understand. For us, it was for our faith. A new chapter. AND to be a little closer to family. Others ask all the time why we sold our adorable “perfect” home, while otherwise it’s what’s best for us. We are happy. I believe the Hughes’ are too. While it doesn’t make sense to us, it’s making sense for them. That’s all we can do and support Kimmy and her crew! They seem happy and amazing anyway.
Amanda White I’ve had the same experience several times in my life. God has always led me where my family needs to be. A lot of sacred moments have come from following these promptings that wouldn’t have happened had we moved where we wanted to be. We are currently moving again for the same reasons. May not make sense to others, but we know where we are supposed to be & we’ve learned to not ignore God. He can see the bigger picture & knows what’s best for us.
There must be a reason they arent comfortable sharing
God does great things! He literally bulldozed a path for us to move from Arizona to Illinois in 2010. It saved our marriage. 8 years in Illinois strengthened our marriage and family. In February of this year He saw fit to move us to Missouri. God is so good! I am happy for you all!
You have a new glow about you in this video. The stresses of moving has lifted and you look relaxed and happy 😊
So happy to hear y'all are at peace with this move. That's such a blessing 🙏❤️
Sounds like God has his hand on the move right from the start. Don't you love when he opens doors that only he can? I'm so happy for you guys!
I can see how well your doing just by watching you Kimmy! You are glowing and look so happy and content! So happy for you!
Fellow Kimmy followers. She DID tell us they knew it was time and that some of the reasoning was very personal so she wouldn't be sharing. She really doesn't have to share with us. Not all of their lives are our business. They have long term goals and are mapping their future so we shouldn't pry.
Kimmy, I wish you and your family many happy times in your new nest. Show us how it's done, girl.
While I agree that she can tell or not she has decided to create a vlog about her life and be "open and share" all that is happening and make money off of it in the process so I think she should at least be a bit more clear. If it's because God put the idea in their hearts and minds to move for the betterment of their family then go with that. It would have taken two minutes.
Your mother in law sounds like a gem! I hope you and your family are getting settled in nicely!
Im going to make a guess for people who want more. And if Im right and Kimmy chooses to agree thats fine. If not its not any of our business.She has expressed many times before that they are dealing with some issues with one of the children. Maybe the child fell in with the wrong crowd or was having trouble at their school or in the neighborhood and it was best to move away to another school district. When the child finishes school they can move away or move back to that area.
tina butts That was my guess too.
I noticed that there son is of a different race an I like this family
Tahj f They had fertility issues, I believe, so their son Jonah is adopted.
So awesome how you documented the journey without knowing! ❤️
I'm glad I'm not the only one who is more confused after watching this than I was before BUT I'm grateful that you did this video and shared what you did. I'm a huge believer that UA-camrs should absolutely keep as much of their private lives, private. They don't owe us anything so while I am a bit more confused than before, I support you in your choices to keep some things completely private.
Kimmy, we can see on your face how right this was for you guys!
So exciting!!!
Thank you
I was thinking the same thing! So happy for you and your family!
When things are meant to happen everything falls into place. That’s how life is to me.
I’m so happy for you all. It’s amazing when God opens the doors and it’s right. The same thing happened for us and it’s just so amazing.
It’s a great feeling! How are you all settling in?
@@shesinherapron it sure is. It's going, Im ready to have no more boxes around. i want to feel normal again.
I can't wait to see how you decorate for the holidays! Xx
Wishing you all the best. Can't wait to see your decorating for the holidays. ❤❤❤
Definitely the main reason is the "family" "kids"... You all seem so happy with the change and that's what really matters. Blessings to your family.
I can see it all over your face that you're at peace and feel like you're right where you're supposed to be right now. ❤ It is so amazing to see how your family really pulls together! Moving can be a tough adjustment but it looks like together you're doing so well! ❤ I can relate when you said all the doors opened and your prayers were answered. I feel the same way about the home we're in now. What a wonderful feeling when we trust in Him ❤ Sending so much love your way!
Wow your so positive about everything . Your family is really lucky to have you!
Our last move we used movers. It was totally worth it!!!
We did all the packing, which I liked, so I could make sure things were properly packed. I labelled all the boxes with the room they were going to at the new house. Then they came and packed everything into the truck. They had an crew of 4 men. They took apart the beds and set them back up at the new place. They put the furniture in place and put all the boxes into the correct rooms at the new house. They took less than 3 hours to load up an entire 3 bedroom house. They took even less time to unload at the new place. It was all so efficient and I ended the day without feeling completely exhausted and overwhelmed. I would never move myself again.
Hi Kimmy and family :) Congratulations on moving into your beautiful new home. Enjoy and love that your sharing your home life with all of us.
Congratulations on all you have done - I've been thinking so much about a similar type of move. Your decision to declutter first makes a lot of sense. I definitely need to do that - declutter so I'm ready. I think I have a pretty minimal household, but when I look around I can see stuff I don't need! Your house is lovely and I'm so glad you folks are enjoying settling in.
I'm so glad you found a home and a good neighborhood that you knew your family would fit well in! Having spent 20+ years as an army wife, I always loved moving and setting up a new place. The army provided moving companies to move us. For the most part, we've had good experiences. We heard nightmares from others. My own brother-in-law, on their packout from Maryland, knew they were being packed in a way that their valuables and antiques would disappear. Sure enough, those boxes were replaced with boxes full of paper. I'm so thankful that that did not happen to us. I always encourage folks to have some sort of property insurance in case of loss like that, and renters insurance when renting a property. I'm just excited for YOU! I look forward to a home tour sometime, if that's something you might want to do. Thank you for being so kind to answer questions for us nosey folks! We love you and your family, and appreciate all you do to encourage us in our own home and family endeavors! HUGS!
Exciting times ahead for you all!! The house is beautiful and I’m excited to see what content you’ll create here!
I have to agree with the comments. The why part was not answered. Maybe it is more personal.
Apryl's Happenings because they wanted to....
Apryl's Happenings true it is their business but why have a video on it then?
Apryl's Happenings Yes, not that they have to tell all, but definitely leaving something big out.
I agree. Question was not answered. Still love this family.
That intro was amazing and when you and Deric look at each other, you can really feel the love there. Also, my kids were the same way about our two-story house when we first moved years ago. I will say, after having to carry their stuff upstairs so much, it has totally lost its appeal...lol Thank you for sharing your lives with us - total strangers - and being so open. I cant imagine putting myself out there enough to have people want answers and reasons behind the decisions we make for our family. You handle it with such grace and kindness. Your family is wonderful so clearly you know what is right for y’all! Many blessings and memories in your new home!
Been a military wife for 13 years. Moved 10 times including OVERSEAS! Moving is the heck stressing but you my darling look GORGEOUS! Keep moving 😂😂
Enjoy your new home! Can’t wait to see how you decorate for fall, Halloween and Christmas
I'm on love with wall paper too. We just did my husband's office and it is awesome! I am so happy for what is to come for you. ♥️
Totally understand about the opening doors, have chills whenever I think of it all. So glad to hear your story and Q&As.
So happy for you all! We’re a military family and have moved 13 times; four oversea tours. All of our moves have movers; luckily we’ve never had issues and if we did they were very minor. We do prep a month and a half before by starting to put items back in their original boxes and organizing items; if going overseas for what is household goods, express shipment, and nontemp storage; so everyone know what goes where. Gotta love color coding :) We also are always watching the movers. As stressing as moving can be I always tell myself “no matter what everything will be packed up and life will start over at the next place.”
Congratulations and blessings on you new home and adventure. Your channel is like chicken noodle soup for your soul! Thanks for sharing your life❤ to all and all that read this
I'm a minute and a half into this and I'm already teary. We feel exactly the same way. This place no longer feels like home, but we don't know where we'll be in a few years. Thanks for sharing your journey!
I agree that you have no obligation to answer the “why” questions. However, the title is Why We Moved, clickbait for your followers, hence, the negative comments! Enjoy your new neighborhood!
I don't think these are necessarily negative but just frustrated when she states that she's going to share more and then doesn't.
Found your channel 2 hours ago. Going to continue my binge and clicking that thumbs up! You and Deric are great!
Thank you for sharing what you wish to. It’s always so fun to watch your recipes, cleaning hints, Holiday preparations, etc. You have motivated most of us and given us inspirational thoughts and ideas. You make us feel special. But I would never, ever expect you to share what you don’t want to. Yes, you are on UA-cam, but that doesn’t require you to answer each and every question. And, yes, you deserve your privacy. Thank you. No matter what happens, I will always be grateful that you brought happiness, love, tears, and heartfelt gratitude towards us, your viewers. ❤️
God Bless you and your family in your new home!
A ward just means the people that go to our church that live near each other and attend the same building. It’s just zoning, kind of like with schools. It’s just a way to determine what church building to go to in your area. So if you move, then you usually will go to a different ward because there will be a different building closer to your new home. And then you just kind of feel like you have a ward family because you see those same people at church every week and everything else Kimmy said. 😁
Keeping doing you sis! I love you and enjoy all of your videos and enjoy watching your journey! ❤️ thank you
You look so relaxed here in this video Kimmy. Glad to see it. This move has obviously been a good decision. The whys and how's that some are asking, dosent matter, you know why. And that's all that counts. Can't wait to see it all in future videos as to how you decorate. enjoy your lovely bath 🛀😘. Love you guys. Take care. Xxxxx
We moved last year and I packed our house and we hired movers to do the actual moving. Even though it was a lot of work, doing all of the packing myself made unpacking so much more organized and faster. I have heard that professional packers will fill a box with whatever fits so that they can have the least amount of boxes, but that means that there could be items from different rooms in one box. I packed by room and all of the boxes were labeled with the contents and had color coded room stickers.
Is there a reason y'all moved that we(utuber watchers) dont fully know
Hi kimmy, so happy for you and the family ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Kimmy! Great Q&A!!! Glad to hear all is well and everyone is doing ok with the move. Have a wonderful day!!! 😉👍🏻❤️
Best of luck to you all! 💕
Kids are so funny- my kids want a second story also! I'm so glad you are doing well with the move, and I can't wait to see the wallpaper choices. ☺
You guys are awesome! So glad for you on your new journey. I was shocked your surprise was a move but glad you found such a awesome place to live, can't wait to see your upcoming videos. I always look forward to your videos. Best wishes on your future! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your journey with us! You both are amazing testaments of following the Lord's will and receiving his blessings.
Lol yes movers did it twice and moved on our own 9 other times. I loved the movers the company was United very good. They gave instructions for us to pack up immediate needs for 5-7 days and all of our personal records and anything we did not want to risk damage. The refrigerator and freezer contents were also our responsibility all other non perishables were packed by them. The labeling was outstanding we knew exactly what the contents were by the way in which they labeled. They said to leave everything as is and they would take care of it and they did can you believe they actually packed up my junk drawer rubber bands,bread ties , odds and ends and yes even a few crumbs made it into the packing paper. I was really impressed it made it so much easier to clean the home afterward my exhaustion level was not there as it had been previously. The only awkward part was being in the home watching strangers go through your drawers and pack it up you feel like you’re being lazy but I guess you pay for the service so it’s sorta business like. Best of luck in the new home and look forward to seeing how things go moving forward!
I’m so happy for you and your family ❤️
I’m amazed on the timing and what was to come in 2020.
Thank you for your answers I understand you have to keep part of your live private hope you enjoy your home for as long as your there x.
YES, hire movers!!! We had packers/movers when we moved out of state. The best advice that I believe helped it to be so organized on the unpacking side was that I went through our home and purged and organized like a boss! Then the packers came in and had our entire home done in one day. They took apart all of our furniture and wrapped it so well. They also left the boxes in the rooms that they had packed them in so that I could go in and “label” them with color coded duct tape. When we got to the new house, they took all the furniture and set it up for us and dropped the boxes off in the rooms they belonged in. I really didn’t even start “working” until they had left and it was time to unpack boxes... which is usually the part of the move where your emotions are beat and you’re just exhausted. It was awesome! We also did a local move on our own and with the amount of money it cost us from time my husband took off from work... driving around getting boxes... renting a moving truck... all the eating out because it took us days to pack up the house (who wants to mess up the kitchen when half of it is packed up)... etc. It ended up costing us about $2000 less than our out of state move when we hired movers. Now if we had had to pay for gas for moving trucks if our local move wasn’t local... it would have been closer to the cost of just hiring movers. I’ll never buy the elders quorum again. 😂
I am so happy for your family! 🥳 Can't wait for the holidays and to see how you'll decorate!! And....idk if you have Hobby Lobby there but they already have Fall decor out!
Kimmy you are so beautiful!! You have a kind and loving soul and you and Derrick will always do what is best for your family! I am excited to see what you do with your new home! Love watching and can’t wait to see the wallpaper ideas!
I’m so happy for you and your family! I’m going to miss your old home, but so excited to see videos in the new home! Btw you’re my favorite UA-camr! I love how you invite us into your home and lives!
well i clicked because of the title but i still don't know why you moved and temporary? In my world that doesn't make sense. And what is in South Carolina for the move across country.
Wanda Keeter I feel like there are things that they are choosing not tell everyone. My assumption is that they moved for Jonah to go to school somewhere else. Admittedly, I could be totally wrong, but this is my guess.
Wanda Keeter Her sister’s family
I'm from South Carolina and it's nice, but I wouldn't move cross country for it.
Why does it matter?
i think some of their family lives in SC. I wanna say there was a traveling vlog where they went to SC and visited family.
Congratulations on getting moved and you will have new memories and wonderful times in your new home. May God Bless.
I’ve read the comments and to me it’s fascinating to see the personality types show through in some followers. Those who are analytical and process information differently to others. It’s not a house or suburb they’re searching for, it’s a home - a feeling... if you listened to what they both were saying from the beginning, they’ve felt unsettled for while. I too, have felt this once before and for some whose personality isn’t this way, it may be difficult to comprehend.
So glad I watched this video today, Kimmy. There's so much going on out there and I'm with you on your feelings of a shift. The winds are blowing, so to say, and having faith in and living so that we can hear what Gods plan is for each of us is very important, at least to me. Thank you for sharing what you have here. It gives me strength and fortifies me. Much love to you and your family.
This is how my husband and i felt once we decided to buy our 1st house. We had rented during our whole relationship (for 6ish years at that point) and thought we would want to continue renting for at least 5 years but after praying a lot we felt the pull to buy. And it was like BAM. EVERYTHING fell into place instantly. I want to do a video about it at some point and won't share all the more personal details like how you're keeping those special as well, but it was truly mind-blowing. Thanks for taking the time to do this Kimmy. We're so happy here but always leaving the door open for what God has next so I'll have to share this video with my hubby later- very inspiring that you are just always trying to do what you feel God wants. All the prayers and best wishes for your family right now💕💕 -Pamela
Your happy and it makes me happy too. Happy is infectious!! 😊
Still never answered "Why" we moved!
It was the right thing to do for our family in this point in time of our lives.
She's In Her Apron ...and THAT...is all that matters. ❤️
@@staceynelson2357 She clearly answered the question of why they moved. Might need to watch the video again if you didn't catch it!
Good luck with everything... God bless you and your family on this new journey!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊😊
so happy for you ... whoever gets to know you in the real world are extremely lucky ...you are lovely 💛
congrats on the move.
It doesn't matter why they moved. If they moved to protect one of their children's futures and do what is best for their family then more power to them, and what great parents those kids have. It's a blessing they were able to move, not everyone can escape and take control of a bad situation. To the people saying Kim should tell us why they moved. Their children have rights to privacy.
Moving is definitely one of those ready set go type of things most of the time. Sometimes ur heart needs to grow and new spaces are good. When I had to leave my childhood home that was hard I'm glad I already had it in my mind I needed a new environment
You look a lot happier now Kimmy! Very nice to see. Your new home is lovely, I always love moving, gives a fresh start, a good going through all your stuff. And it’s just the best feeling!
Community pool is a huge winner!!!😍
It sounds like you’ve done a wonderful thing. And one day when you’re ready to buy again, you’ll be able to jump straight in!
You and deric are adooooorable too!
I cant wait to see how you decorate your new place for Halloween and Christmas!!!
When you feel called to move somewhere and you move to where you are being lead. No matter how crazy it might be if it’s supposed to happen things seem to just fall into place. Happy for you all.
You guys took a leap of faith!
Congrats on the new move! As a ex-military family for 20 years these moves are so difficult. Once in the new house it does become a home that we love. Our kids had to change schools often due to our jobs. We have found that our kids adapted better to new situations than their friends who have lived in the same place for many years. I hope that your kids will love their new neighborhood, school and church ward too.
So excited for you guys! I can totally understand the "temporary" move - we do what we do for our kids ❤️. Anyways we just moved from Oregon to South Carolina ourselves - OR is still home, but the people here are amazing! Because we were near family in OR, we didn't hire movers there but friends and family helped with the packing and moving our stuff into our moving crates. But we did hire movers once we got to SC and I highly recommend doing that at least 😉 good luck and have a fun summer getting to know your new neighbors!
A chapter in your life has closed and now is time to start a new chapter. You are blessed!
Retired military wife.. We moved every 2 or 3 years. I loved having movers come pack us up. Delivery day, not so much. Just be very organized. Make sure that boxes are labeled clearly and document all of your belongings.
Did anyone figure out why they moved? Lol. Do THEY even know why they moved?!
she said it was the best thing for all of the family.....closer to Derek's job, closer to some family, better opportunities for her kids......and when God tell you to move -- you'll be much happier if you just listen to Him!
Kimmy, A home is where the family is. The house is just a building. Continue doing the best for your family.
For starters I’m pretty sad that you even felt you needed to make this video and secondly I’m sick that people feel entitled to this information. Yes she’s on UA-cam but y’all are not entitled to know every single aspect of her life. I’m completely satisfied with her saying I felt it, it was time and I prayed about it. Congratulations on your beautiful new home hun!
Totally Outnumbered 💯
But she titled it in a way that is deceitful just to get clicks. 🙄
Absolutely agree one billion percent!! Not every part of our lives is to be public. Even if we aren't a youtuber etc. So happy that Kimmy and her family are safe, happy, healthy and thriving etc.
Agreed I can't believe all the negative comments!
If it had anything to do with your kids, you are an amazing parent!
Thank you Nancy!
I second this. Our family has gone through a LOT with our second to oldest son, and as a mom I get it. Prayers for you guys.
I agree! Kids come first. And we don't really need to know the private reasons for the move. It is just exciting to see them excited about a new adventure!♡
God works in amazing ways. The feeling that you need to move and not in the right place we started feeling that 3 years into owning our home. 6 months later my Father-in-law had a massive heart attack and needs live in care. Now we know where we need to be and we are in the process of moving from VA to AZ. God began preparing us mentally (and physically because we were inspired to declutter) months ago so when it happened, we were ready.
Every blessing in your new home, Kimmy and family. In the last five years the life of our family has changed radically with my husband in full time ministry and travelling world wide. Others will never understand fully but when you know and feel it is what God wants you to do, it’s all good! Xx
For your next move I would say YES to hiring movers! I mean declutter beforehand because when we had movers they literally packed the garbage can WITH the garbage in it. luckily it was just my desk garbage and it was all paper haha I'd like to think they would have asked us to empty it otherwise but they're so quick and do all the heavy lifting!! YESS!!
Sometimes you just have to move. Change it up. It's good for your soul to change sometimes, to refresh. I'm happy that you're happy! This is all that matters 💖
We didn't have them pack for us but we did have them do the load out and load in and I have to tell ya I've never seen two guys work harder, more efficiently, or faster they had us loaded into the truck in under an hour and into the new apartment just as quickly. Previous to that we did the whole thing packing, loading and unloading and never ever again! Congrats on the new digs it looks awesome!
I'm so happy for you and the family, please don't stop making your videos. I am getting ready to move myself... I lost my husband when my youngest was 6 years old and she is 20 years old now. Then I lost my dad August, he lived next door and I took care of him for 14 years, then 11 months later I lost my oldest daughter and then 9 days later I lost my fiancé. So many wonderful memories here, but also a reminder of my losses too. I just know it is time for me to move and that's what I'm preparing for. I wish you and your lovely family all the happiness in your journey and I will keep you and the family in our prayers! Much love and respect on your decision to move, it's a personal journal.
I totally understand the "decluttering urge." A few years ago in August/ September I finally felt at peace to get rid of all the baby equipment and clothing I was holding onto "just in case." As I was sorting and listing the stuff for sale, my husband got word from God telling him to look for a new job (in November.) He found a new job in January that would require a cross country move and we had to downsize our square footage by about half. I am so glad I listened and got right into decluttering when God told me it was time. The timing allowed me to go through my "baby's" stuff without feeling rushed.
Your question about paying movers to pack up your stuff: We had movers come in and pack for us and load everything onto their truck so we didn't have to drive a moving truck 1500 miles. The company my hubby's job is with paid for that for us. (An answer to prayer for us, as were struggling to figure out how we were going to afford to buy moving supplies and Uhaul rental.) I was nervous at first about someone else packing my stuff but I talked with my sister (military family) about what to expect and she helped calm my nerves. It ended up being a huge relief to me so that I could focus on planning the trip (4 days drive) and looking for an apartment in our new town. The moving company was great to work with. There was 1 lady that I could call with any questions as we went through the process. The driver was super nice took good care of our stuff. We had 2 items break. Neither were high value (a toolbox and an old cheap lamp.) I am so thankful for the movers! Definitely worth it!
Thanks Kimmy, you're the best!
Sending lots of love and God bless you and all the family ❤ XOXO
Have a safe and HAPPY 4th of July 🇱🇷
I have never had movers however when my cousin moved back after her husband left the military the Army packed them. It was so funny unpacking because we found things that were supposed to be thrown away in the boxes wrapped and everything. Like an empty envelope box. We were laughing so hard as we started pulling stuff out. TFS Kimmy. Can't wait to see this next adventure.
I would guess that the major motivation for moving is to provide a better environment for her children and I think that that is very admirable. Hope it all works out for them!
Were you being stalked by a crazy follower? It seems weird that you moved. Your old house was so much nicer. I don’t get it. 🧐
And it’s not ours to get.
OG Cook I feel like something happened since she didn’t say where they moved!
I've moved many ways.....having movers was by far the BEST. It took off so much stress and we had energy to set the new place up. My friend was able to have movers AND packers.....sounds like heaven to me.
Facing this with my family now!! Praying for a smooth move!
I would like to wish you all the best of luck in your new house xxx
Thank you for sharing, Kim.
My husbands employer moved us to a new state. They sent movers that packed and unpacked our entire house. I worried about trusting the movers at first, but once they showed up and I saw how FAST, efficient and professional they were- I knew the job would get done better than I could have done myself. We had one piece of furniture break in the move , nothing else broke and they sent someone out to fix the damage. Easiest move I’ve ever done. Congrats on the new home Kimmy. You moved because of Faith. You felt lead by the Lord and you followed. Blessings are ahead I’m sure.
I'm very excited for you and your family! Why did you move?
We had movers to and from overseas it’s nice i like that they rebuild our things. You just gotta pray nothing gets broken
Currently overseas again and our stuff arrived nothing damage. I like that I don’t have to stress about getting enough packing supplies
