The Move!!!

This move seems to have been the longest move ever!! I felt like I packed a million boxes!! We are so grateful for wonderful neighbors who were able to supply the million boxes from ones that get discarded at work. Knowing the space restrictions we were going to have to get accustomed to we did sell as much as possible. We were also able to take one load in the trailer when we visited in March, but you never know how much stuff you have until you move.

Why is there still more things to be packed!! And I really should think about taking down the pictures on the wall!!

What a mess!!
 I tried to stay as organized as possible but on day 5 of still packing boxes things went a little down hill! We had planned to hit the road on Wednesday night/Thursday morning around midnight but still had so much to do that we didn't get on the road until Thursday night/Friday morning around 2am (we were shooting for midnight!!)

 We used ABF U-Pac as they worked out the most economical and we didn't have to drive a big truck for 9+ hours. They dropped the trailer off on Monday and picked it up on Thursday. They said it would take 2-4 business days to deliver it to us in SC, and with the holiday I thought it would be awhile but they called me the Monday and were able to deliver the trailer on Tuesday afternoon!!


We thought we had everything and locked the trailer. Then we realized that we left several things off. Oops!

 So once we were on the road we made really good time. Because the trailer was soooo weighed down we had to stop often for Ben to refuel. We only had a few hours sleep before hitting the road so were quite tired but were eager to get past DC and Richmond, VA. We made good time and didn't hit any traffic so stopped and took a nap literally when were 1 mile outside of Richmond.
JuJu enjoyed her throne!
JuJu had the pleasure of traveling with me in my car while Jada and Bella got to spread out in the back of the Jeep with Ben.

My view for the entire trip!


Are we there yet!!

We're so close

 I did get a break from the crazy mayhem of packing when I went to work! The team I worked with were so sweet and threw me a going away brunch. Thank you again ladies!! I miss you!



 So I suppose I now have to update my facebook info to make the move official!!
