Well, we were up at the crack of dawn doing this and that. We had no idea how long a day it would be...not that any moving day is fresh and wonderful...unless maybe you are one of those people whose companies pays to pack and move you, but we aren't any such kind.
Our sweet Katie came by with her family to say goodbye. It was fun to meet her hubby and boys and their little pup, since we had heard so much about them! Our little girls next door, Abby, Rianna and Raelene were so sad and it was hard to leave them and of course our first phone call was from Rianna!
Some guys, including our pastor, came and helped Fred move all the furniture. Even though we sold our washer and dryer, our patio set and a few other things, the truck would not hold the last odds and ends we had to bring. So we left them.
We got to Mass which is about 120 miles. The drive wasn't all that bad...the kids were happy to have a little down time. We arrived around 6pm...what a long day and it wasn't nearly over yet!
Our landlord, L and his wife and child, came to give us the keys and sign the lease. I have to say that had I met the wife, we might not have held out for the house...she was super persnickety! It was a little undaunting. But the deed was done and they left.
The kids were fighting over which bedroom was going to be theirs...so we took everyone upstairs before we started unloading the truck...
and then we had to call the fire department!
