The Unexpected Mover - Part III
Moving a household is a glimpse into a man's world. Military wives are very familiar with the prepping drill but the lifting and loading and then unloading is strictly a man's job. The conversations are colorful and pungent; no swearing, well, not much anyway, but the stories and observations are the glue that makes the work easy and fast. Teamwork at its best.
Thursday night, we gave up hope of finishing the move in one day. We booked a room at Days Inn, and left to sleep. NOT. I didn't sleep, and Don barely slept. Work commenced at 7 a.m. Friday morning, and we were still at it at 2:43 p.m.
We finally depart, much to the relief of our buyers, and arrived at our daughter's home before dark.
After a painful and exhausting two days, the unload commenced early Saturday morning. The house is packed and moving around is a challenge. Sunday, we slept and rested; we were tired to the point of illness.

ReplyDeleteHi Annie,
Holy cow! I’m exhausted reading this. I am so glad your move is over with. I know the drive of 3 hours on top of all that packing had to add to your exhaustion. I can’t imagine the
unloading and bringing all your stuff into the house after what you have been through. Thank you for the pictures. I love your house! I hope you will be blessed and content in your new home. Send me your new address so I can send my Christmas card. Take care. 😊🌸
What a cute little house. I love it.
ReplyDeleteHope you are able to settle in quickly and it won't be as much of an ordeal as the move was--and that this would be the beginning of a very blessed and happy new chapter of your life.
