Wednesday, both Steve and I put in a day of work and then got home with the moving truck around 4pm to find some of our family already there waiting on us. Immediately, the moving started and about 1 1/2 hours later - our house was vacated of all our belongings except for an air mattress and toiletries. We then drove the truck here to the new house and left it in the drive. Then we ordered pizza and went out to my sister's "lake house" and ate pizza while the kids cooled off in the "lake". We had almost all my nieces and nephews, Mom and Pops, most of my siblings help us pack up the old house. What a whirlwind. I had difficulty staying focused and keeping up.
Steve and I went back to our old house for the last night and woke up early to finish getting all the odds and ends and food out of the fridge into his truck and my car. His truck looked like the Beverly Hillbillies driving down the road as we went to the Corner Cafe for breakfast and then to the title company to close on both our houses, which took 2 hours. Then we headed to our new house to unload the vehicles and the moving truck. That took all of 1 hour; again with all the help listed above. Another whirlwind. I was rather overwhelmed as we tried to fit every piece of furniture from a 1500 sq ft house to less than 1000 sq ft house.......it was as if someone set off a bomb.
Yesterday, I had the day off work and I made slow progress but progress non the less. Today, both Steve and I went into it non stop and then Hannah came to help. We are making it look more and more like a home.
Thanks to my awesome Yoder family for all your great help. We couldn't have done it without you. Well, we could have but we would have still been moving out and in for an entire month. Cuz man, we feel rather old with 4 days of non stop activity.
I have a good feeling that this will be "home" in a short time.
