Moving On Up

Moving day dawned bright and unbelievably hot. And let's not forget the unbearable humidity yesterday. Yuck! Our amazing friends joined Sean at the old townhouse at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday to begin hauling our treasures and some junk into the big U-haul (see Sean's previous post). I got lucky and didn't have to sweat it out with the rest of them because I needed to meet the furniture delivery guys at the new house. Somehow, they managed to get it all out and on the truck in record time. The crew arrived soon after at the new house, and we unloaded as quickly as possible. I happened to glance at the clock as we were all beginning to eat our lunch after it was all over. It read 11:22 a.m. The move lasted less than 2 1/2 hours. Unbelievable! The neighbor across the street wants the names and numbers of our movers. She was completely impressed as she watched them work yesterday. So . . . Amy, Jodi, Greg, John, Daryl, Ryan, Phil, Leon, and Lindsey, I know we coerced you with the promise of food and beer. But you are awesome and we are so thankful to you for helping us in spite of extremely uncomfortable weather. I also want to say a huge thank you to Erin and Mom Steele for their help with packing, painting and hanging blinds. You made it so much easier for us to get things accomplished.

And now Sean and I are here. The long wait is over. We love our new home and are so thankful for God's blessings. His timing has been perfect through it all. We'll be in touch with our new address and all that good stuff.

And, finally, what you've all been waiting for . . . the U-haul photo. It's not the best quality, because I had to use my phone. Who knows where the camera was during the whole process! Here he comes . . . the best U-haul driver around!

And here he is! Ready to get that bad boy unloaded!
