Moving week…abridged

(Didn't have time to post last week during the move.)

Tuesday…the packers came and stuffed our entire life into hundreds and hundreds of boxes. It was a rough day. First, with the realization that…this is it! We really are leaving our home, our friends, our life as we know it and moving thousands of miles to Wyoming. Then…knowing that all our belongings will sit on a truck for 2 ½ weeks before heading West to be unloaded into our new home in Laramie. Such a long time…

Wednesday…the movers arrived to shrink wrap and load all the furniture, including the hundreds of boxes and two cars onto one very long truck. There were times when I couldn’t watch. Furniture (I didn’t even know could be) was disassembled and hauled out piece meal. Hopefully, the movers on the other end will know how to piece it back together. The last of it was finally loaded onto the truck at 10:10 PM.

Thursday and Friday…was spent cleaning and hauling out the last remnants of our lives and saying our last farewells to good friends.

Saturday…met the renters for a walk through and handed over the keys to our home. We walked out the door not knowing if we’ll ever be back…
