Brain Balance Center
Today was our first day going to the Brain Balance center in Utah. It takes us two and a half hours to get down there. I wasn't sure what to expect so we got there around noon. Rachel decided she wanted to eat at Dickey's. So she had the Mac n Cheese and I had the special. It was pretty good. We then went to the center. Rachel got to play for a little bit in the house they have built in the center. They then took her back with another little boy named Kayden. I went with Sydney and and she gave me the "Book"
We went over everything about the program. She showed me the exercises that we have to do at home three times a day. I asked how do you get a stubborn kid to do it. She said we needed a reward system like they have at the center. They get brain bucks while they are there for doing good. So we need to start a reward system at home. They also told me that her diet is going to entail taking out gluten, dairy, soy, and peanuts. I thought maybe they would test to see if they were having any of those allergies when in actuality they just take them out of the diet. I'm totally freaked out about that part of this. They also said that they only get 30 minutes of screen time a day. Needless to say when we got in the car and I took away the iPad I had one really unhappy camper. She loved being at the center and had fun. She got tired and this is how she was in the car coming home.

She was of course asleep until I took the shot. I love that she has her legs crossed and yes this is the look she had after being told all the things we needed to do at home. She is definitely not a happy camper.

Move to Pocatello
We thought the move was going to be seamless but the truck ended up at the dealership the Thursday before and they weren't going to be able to get it fixed until Monday. Scott had to start work two weeks earlier then we had planned. The movers ended up not being as efficient as I had hoped. We also broke the tray that the washer goes on when Scott and myself tried to get the washer out of the tray. One thing after another happened.
Scott had to be in Poky working on the day the movers showed up. He took Rachel with him when he went to Pocatello on Sunday night. I got to stay and deal with the movers. So I was ready for them to be there at 8:00 in the morning. At 8:30 there still weren't any movers there so I called. They said oh we have you on the schedule for 9:00. I was not happy. They actually ended up not even getting there until 9:45. I had Cindy Hall and Shanda Jackson show up to help me clean. I was trying to get everything cleaned out. Joyce Loveland showed up in the afternoon and I had her vacuum everything for me. Around 1:00 I had to go out to the dealership and get the truck. It was finally fixed. I left Shanda there as my watch over the workers. I was shocked with how much they got into the truck but I knew they weren't going to be able to get it all in the one truck. So they had to leave to go get another trailer. When they showed up with their biggest trailer I was like are you kidding me. There was going to be no way they were going to get everything in that either. Needless to say they had to go get one more trailer. This time we put anything that wouldn't fit in that trailer in the bed of my truck. Shanda stayed until the bitter end. Needless to say it was 7:30 when the movers finally loaded up the last trailer and was heading to their shop. They were going to have to deliver tomorrow. I hit the road around 8:00 by the time I got the house locked up and all secured. I was so tired. We spent the night at Grani's house.
One the next day Tuesday I loaded up the truck with everything that Scott had brought with him and Rachel and my stuff. We headed to Pocatello. I dropped Rachel off at my parents house and I went to our rental. I pulled out my vacuum and ended up cleaning the floor. For it being carpet cleaned it was still gross. So the movers where supposed to be at the house around 1:00 / 2:00. At two I still hadn't herad anything from anyone. I called the shop and got the head guys cell phone. He was about an hour and a 1/2 away still. I was so ticked. We got hold of the elders quorum here in the new ward. Come to find it out is my old roommates husband. She helped get the ball rolling to get some men over here to help us. The movers showed up around 4:00. We showed them where things were going to go and then at 5:00 we had about ten guys show up to help move us in. Needless to say we ended up only have to pay for an hour and a 1/2 of the movers time. That saved us so much money. I was so grateful for the help that we got. We decided we love our ward already and we haven't even been to the ward yet but just because they came out in such a group effort it made us feel good.

We have boxes everywhere and no one where put anything. I still have to decided on more boxes going to the garage and into the extra bedroom.
