Moving Day

Well...the day finally came to move. We were smart this time and called a week in advance to get a 26ft Uhaul. Josh's cousin Sara offered to take the kids for the day, which turned out to be the BIGGEST life saver. So with them gone in the morning and lots of help from family and friends, we packed up the truck and headed over to the new house. We made 2 trips with the Uhaul, so it took the majority of the day. We were moving into the house as the owner was moving out, so it was a little tricky b/c they weren't quite ready when we showed up. The only pictures I took during the day was when they were moving my piano. I was not sure they were going to make it, but they backed up the truck right to the front door so they wouldn't have to go down the stairs. They did the same thing when they unloaded it. I still can't believe they did it, with only one minor scratch as a result.


We are SO glad to be somewhat settled in. We feel blessed that the owner of the house was willing to move out early so we could move in with the baby on the way. We haven't officially closed on the house, so we are just "renting" it from the owner until we actually own it. The basement is a full apartment so we are living down there for now. As soon as we close we'll start working on the top two floors (painting, carpeting) then we'll move up there. So until then....it's just one big playground for the kids. It's hard being in limbo still with most of our stuff still boxed up in the garage, but we are glad we won't have to move twice. Thanks to everyone who came and helped!!! We couldn't have done it without you! Here is an outside picture of the house. Don't be deceived...the outside looks great but it really need a lot of work inside (those pics will come at some point.)
