So yesterday we embarked upon the day of moving. I said I always get excited about this until it's over and that is accurate again. Yesterday was fairly exhausting. A good workout, yes. But still exhausting. We got up around 6:30 and started taking what remained in our house down (which truthfully wasn't much). We rented a
Uhaul to move the big stuff like the couch, beds, etc. I think we did a total of 3 trips with the
Uhaul and at that point had everything out of the old place and into the new. The
Uhaul was returned at 5pm, which I thought was pretty impressive given that it was just the two of us. We got some of the big stuff put away/set up and crashed into bed at around 11pm. It was a long day but we did it!
Early on in the day- one of the first loads getting stuff out of the old place into the
Uhaul to take to the new place.
A picture of the lovely truck.
This was our third and last load and consisted mostly of garage stuff. The most awkward thing of the day to move was probably Tim's tool chest (the silver thing in the picture). It was SO heavy. And somehow Tim got it into the truck himself though I still don't know how and I don't think he really does either. At this point in the day we were both operating under some sort of supernatural powers. The couch was also quite awkward as well but we did that first to get it out of the way. And the table weighs a million pounds of solid wood so that was an exciting thing to move too. I know I probably could have and should have hired movers but it seemed silly for not moving too far away. And I always think it will be fun, like I have said repeatedly... until it's all said and done and we can't move. At least we were lucky in that it was a party cloudy/sunny and cool day.
To get Bella acclimated to the new place, we took her with us on every trip. We had her crate over there on the first trip so she went with us
every time. I think she was confused but she did great all day.
A view looking down on the dining room with everything sort of piled in.
And a view of the same of the family room.
Hauling literally the last box in. Tim was thrilled that I pulled out the camera at this point. We were exhausted.
And a view of the kitchen with junk thrown in. I actually got the kitchen totally organized last night. Yes! I can't wait until everything is completely done and we are settled in.
