We're here in Glendale. The moving truck is empty. Our house is a disaster. Amy is gone until Monday. I may go crazy.
I'll post about our whole moving experience/saga tomorrow.
Today is our last day in Springfield, or at least that's what the movers would have us believe. There is still a LOT of stuff in this house, but they seem confident that they'll get it out of here today.
To make matters worse, there is a heat advisory here until Thursday.
This will be our last post/e-mail communication until Thursday when we get hooked up in St. Louis.
The movers were back bright and early today to start their inventory and begin loading the truck. They loaded all day long, and you can hardly tell they put anything in the truck it is packed so well.
We got a reminder of why we aren't packing professionals - one of the boxes we packed collapsed and swallowed another box that was stacked on top of it. Hopefully nothing important was inside.
The weather today was in the high 80's with a heat index in the high 90's, but it was cloudy and that helped it feel cooler. I took down our basketball hoop today, broke down our swing set, and took a panel off our fence. That was enough work for me.
Tomorrow they will finish loading the truck, we'll load our U-Haul trailer, and hit the road for St. Louis.
All is quiet on day 2. Our visitors are gone, and the movers won't start up again until tomorrow.
We're finding lots of things we could use today that got packed yesterday - some pots/pans, Emily's swimming suit, yard waste stickers, etc.
We're living in restauraunts now until at least Wednesday night. By then a home cooked meal will probably taste good.
A few last things to pack up today/tonight and we'll be pretty much ready to go. The movers will inventory everything tomorrow, and will load on Tuesday.
