We're here in Rockville now! Our move went amazingly well...the movers did a great job packing up and delivering everything. The only things that broke were one of my china tea cups and our glass top dining table. Not too disappointing being that we were planning to get rid of it when we inherit Mike's parent's table in October as they move to FL. The moving company is getting estimates for replacing the glass and will just cut us a check instead of having a new glass top made! Yay! The funny thing is that this table has moved from Daytona to Lakeland to Mulberry to Ocala and back to Mulberry, over the past 8 years, in the back of a Uhaul and also in the back of our van and was not once padded or crated. The movers--they hired a special contractor to padd the glass, put it in a wooden crate, load it on the truck for the movers, and then have a special guy come to unload it. All that "extra special handling" and the darn thing breaks. How bazaar.
Jillian did surprisingly well on the car ride...she even napped during the day! She never naps in the car unless it's pitch black outside so this was such a blessing for us. We waited about 6 days before our movers arrived--we really missed having a couch to plop on...and our own bed to sleep in. The air mattress (and pack-n-play) gets increasingly uncomfortable after just a few nights.
So, here are some moving pictures of our empty house and of us unpacking:
The "kids" in the van:
The movers wrapped EVERYTHING in paper...including plastic tupperware...
I've never seen so many boxes in my life...
