Moving Day!

 

We have moved 11 times prior to this move and I guess there were unique stressors related to each.  But this time ...

 

We chose, perhaps one of the coldest Spring days on record and it snowed! It snowed in southeastern Virginia where vacationers come for sun and sand! Can we pick 'em or what?

 

The truth is, moving day is full of highs and lows.  The moving, packing, hauling up and down stairs, standing in the freezing cold, is not a lot of fun. Saying "Hello" to a new home and a new chapter ... so exciting!



 

 

Some positives:

• We used Harrison's Moving & Storage and we were quite pleased. I called three companies for quotes. One company never called me back. Really? The second company called and gave me a quote over the phone. But only Harrison's actually sent a sales representative to my house. He did a quick inventory of our furnishings, asked a lot of questions, and then gave me a quote. What can I say, I was impressed with the individual and personal service.

 

The move took 8 hours and that was after our team of friends moved 9 loads of boxes the weekend before.  Although our moving crew, Junior, Foster and Stan, were skeptical that they could put everything from our old big house into our new little house - they pulled it off! They were very exhausted young men by 5:30 pm though. And, I thought if we told them, "it goes in the attic on the 3rd floor" even one more time they might excercise passive resistance, but they perservered! Thanks guys!



 



 Some more positives:

• We closed on our old house, without a glitch!
• The worst of it is behind us! 

 

The best positive:

• We found the coffee pot!
