Moving: Round Two

Round two of our move is almost done. This has been the hardest move we have every done. Going through the house deciding what is going to Africa and what is staying was not easy. Then wondering will it all fit. We are a family of six!

Steve and I stayed up until 3AM Sunday, make that Monday morning packing. By then I was so tired that I really didn't even care if we didn't get something packed. We were back up at 6 AM to finish. We did mounds of laundry all night too. We would just set the timer so we wouldn't forget to keep switching the loads around. We have been packing stuff all along, but nothing like a dead line to get it finished.


The truck pulled in around 8:30 I think. Another guy came to get the water out of the washer and put the moving pins back in. The guys packed and were a little worried it wasn't going to all fit. The left by 10:30.

Steve went over to the warehouse to help pack which was a good thing. IMB tells you to watch/help pack your moving crates. They put the fridge in and then the up-right freezer right in front of it. They were not going to put boxes on top of them. Steve managed to slide in beside the freezer with boxes over his head. He put 6 boxes on top of the fridge!! They were going to wrap up the bookcases with nothing in them!!!! Steve was like: whoa, whoa, whoa. They need boxes in them. The guys soon got the idea that ever little inch, as much as possible, has to be filled with something. In the end Steve called to say go looking through the house we have room for more.


Well, there was lots that was forgotten, like a cutting board, cookie sheets, and all my big plastic containers. He went back with more things. He came home to say that there is still more room. So we packed up more stuff last night and this morning. My school desk that I teach school at is going. That alone will make my days so much easier. He is went over this morning with more. We might be headed to Sam's is there is more room.

Moving: Part Three has gotten easier. A guy from church has a trailer and is willing to drive our stuff to PA. I (Rita) will not have to do the 10 hour drive myself in the van!!!!!!!
