Moving Crew

I don't feel like I can move on from talking about our move without giving our moving crew a huge shout out! This group of high school boys plus some pretty awesome adults friends and family were amazing!!

The house had some things that needed to be rearranged before our stuff got brought in. So, Mom, Allyson, and I came to the house around 9am to get that stuff done before our "professional" movers showed up. Stephen had everyone else meet him at the apartment at 1pm. They had our ENTIRE apartment loaded, transported, and unloaded within 2 hours!!! That was with a 30 minute break to scarf down 12 pizzas. Seriously, they were amazing!

I may have had to close my eyes and ears a few times as they moved things in, but I had no room for complaint. They worked their butts off for us. When they got to the house, I needed a few furniture pieces moved around. I was thinking they would be tired and ready to play basketball and not wanting to work anymore. So, I had Stephen "assign" four of them to come help me. The next thing I knew, they were all running upstairs fighting about who was going to help.

I wish I had a picture of the traffic line that came pouring into the neighborhood. Our driveway was double parked and so was the majority of the cul-de-sac. The neighbors were quite impressed! Here's a glimpse of the parking lot at the apartment.

Then, of course, being the crazy woman I am, I worked until late into the evening with the continued help of family and friends to unpack and put away everything!! I was SO tired. It would not have been accomplished without my slave-driving amazing sister who kept pushing me to get it finished. Love her for that!

Thanks to everyone who helped that day! I'm pretty sure we would still be moving boxes and unpacking it if weren't for them. Yall are awesome!
