John, Des, Leash, Alex on SaturdayThe moving began on Friday, April 3rd with just John, me, Josh, and Chels. Thank God Josh and Chels were here to help because John had a strained Achilles tendon! We worked until 10pm and then went to be in anticipation for the "big stuff" on Saturday.
At 730am Alex and Leash, Brent, Cassandra and Amanda, Josh, Brad, Joe, and Little A showed up at the apartment to start hauling. At the last minute we decided to get a truck but the only thing they had left was a 26-foot Uhaul which we gladly reserved! We finished moving everything from the apartment to the house by 10am. We couldn't have been luckier to have so much early morning help!
The second wave of the day brought PopPop, Chaise, Grandma, Jenny, and Mike who helped us unpack tons and get Maxi's room totally ready for him to sleep that night. Jenny walked in the door and said "You know things are really bad when I'm overwhelmed and I'm overwhelmed." But by 8pm we had things in a "livable" condition.
Finally, Kristina and Vera brought Maxi back to his new home and got to see round 1 of the unpacking!
That Sunday John and I worked extremely hard to continue unpacking and settling in. We just don't like feeling unsettled!
Just about 2 weeks later, we're happily settled even though there is plenty of decorating left to do!
