Moving Chaos

After this move Jason and I don't suggest ending your jobs, moving to another state, building a new house, going on vacation and trying to train in a different state than you are moving to. It makes a slight bit of confusion for everyone!

We are blessed that Miron is moving us, but this has been crazy. On Friday, May 26 the packers came and packed everything up. We were left with just what we needed. We had food, but nothing to cook it in. Two girls came and we were working ahead of them trying to organize what was going to storage and what was heading to Brooklyn. We went to lunch and came back to find out the crew had increased from 2 to 8. They whipped through our house - leaving Jason and I in a blur hoping that we hadn't made any mistakes.

Saturday a semi came to take our stuff to storage. That is when it hit me that we were really moving. I said there is no turning back - jason responded, "we are way past turning back" When Ally and drew came back they were really in shock. Where did my green couch go? Where is all my stuff. Confusion is only to begin for little Ally. Drew is doing well as long as he still has his binky.

Tuesday they pack our stuff for Brooklyn. It was slow and they shoved the last chair in a quickly closed the door hoping nothing would fall out. We figured that truck was the same size as the truck that moved us in 6 years ago and we still had another semi of accumulation - CRAZY!

Well the funny part is that while we were on vacation they delivered our stuff to Brooklyn. My aunt Linda and dad's hired hand, Patrick were there to meet the truck. Semi's get down the lane to the house all the time, but no one realized that moving trucks have a low bed underthem that would get caught on the railroad tracks. After calling 911 and calling us in CA, they decided to get the grain truck out and load our stuff into the grain truck and take it to the house. Oh I am glad I wasn't there, but sleeping in CA since it was 6 a.m. there.

Come to find out nothing is broken. We do have lamp shades, but the lamps got in the wrong box and hopefully are in storage. I love moving companies, but don't suggest Graebel to anyone they frustrated us!
