Moving to Texas
First off, let me just say that moving is a lot of work. A LOT. Shane took last week off of work and we packed and packed and packed and then moved and moved and moved. On Thursday, we picked up a 26 foot uhaul and a trailer. That afternoon, the AR movers arrived to load the truck. It was pouring the entire time!! We also had to disconnect our fridge this morning and clean it out, so we were without a fridge for Thursday and Friday. When the movers got the big truck loaded, we started cleaning the house and packing the trailer. Shane's parents drove in late that night to help us drive one of the cars back the next day. Friday morning, we got up bright and early and continued loading. Logan and I snuck out to a Halloween party (more about Halloween later) and then we all left in a convoy for Texas. We arrived in TX that night and were just plain exhausted!! And, there was still SO MUCH to do. Saturday morning we met the TX movers at our storage facility (where we have 3 units!!) and they unloaded the big truck. Shane and I unloaded the trailer and his truck and returned the trucks to uhaul. Then, we took another load to storage later that day. Whew!!! I can't believe we have to move all over again in a few months when we find a house. And, after not having a fridge and eating out all last week, I can't stand the thought of fast food or eating out for a long time!! It's so nice to be eating at home again. It was a really tough week for us, but we made it. A HUGE HUGE thanks to all of our family who helped us out, especially Shane's parents who drove to AR and helped us load up and drive down here. And, my parents who have opened up their home to us for awhile.
Here is our last family picture in our Benton house. (Lucy is on the left and Booker is on the right. Kitty was already safe and sound in TX.)
