Moving Mania

At times it seemed like this day would never come but finally it was moving day. There were a million times when we were in the middle of a mess of remodeling that I thought for sure that we would never sell our house but somehow we did it. We had a lot of worries leading up to our Oct 30th closing date since we had to be out of our house and move into the new one all in one day. Even though a lot of our stuff has been in a storage unit, we couldn't believe how much stuff we had left! We rented a 26 foot U-haul truck on Wed Oct 28th and Jeff started loading it with his garage stuff. His Uncle Terry has a heat and air business and he let us borrow one of his big trucks and his parents, brother and our friend Richard helped us fill them both Thurs night. On Friday the 30th, Jeff's parent's brought a 3rd big moving truck up and we loaded it up. We really had to hurry because the new owners were coming at 1:30 for the final walk-thru and we had to be out. It was very stressful but we pulled out of the driveway with 15 minutes left.

The rest of closing day was crazy too. We were scheduled to close on the old house at 2:30pm so we drove the moving trucks to the new house and parked them then rushed to closing. When we got there though, they were behind so we had to wait which was a problem because we had to close on the new house at 4pm. They got us in though and we made it just in time. Then we went straight to the new house to start unloading the 3 trucks blah!We had a lot more help on that end and it didn't take very long but we were so tired after all that! I'm glad we love our house because I do not want to do that again anytime soon!
