It is getting closer
What a waste of a perfectly good day. We have not done ANYTHING today. When James came home Sunday night we talked about getting the bunk beds taken apart since it is one of those huge ones with bookshelf, dresser, and desk. When we move we always completely take apart the bed parts to save room. We wanted to be able to get it all taken apart and against the wall so we could finish filling that room with boxes. Plus James brought home some boxes with him for us to pack.
Yesterday, we packed maybe 4 boxes and then James decided that he would rather take the kids bowling and then over to his dad's house. Today, we slept in until around 8am. Then I made a big breakfast. I sat for like an hour while the kids played video games and James laid in bed. So then I decided to take a nap on the couch. Finally James got out of bed and I thought he was going to take apart the bed. No, he took the kids sledding instead. I love that he always does stuff with the kids but I had really hoped he would be more helpful while he was here.
We started planning everything out for the move. Our friend Mike is able to help us move next Tuesday so James is going to take his normal Sunday and Monday off and add on Tuesday for the move. We had already reserved a truck for two days we just had to give them the final decision on the pick up date. So I made the pick up for Monday.
The last time we moved we filled the entire 26 foot semi top to bottom. I do mean fully packed. My dad and James stacked stuff all the way up to the ceiling. I told James that I was worried that we would not fit it all into the semi this time since his friends will not be as careful and hard working as my dad. Plus this time we have more stuff. We sold a lot of our stuff last time at a rummage sale since we could not fit it all. Now that we bought some new TVs and entertainment centers for the kids it will take up more room. Also we did not bring our grill with us last time and we did not have a lawn mower in Arizona since there was no grass. LOL
So we decided that we will get the truck on Monday since James is off work anyway. Then we can take a trip with the truck both days. If we can not get help on Monday we will just get the stuff that we can do on our own. This time we think we will just put all of the boxes in the garage of the new house and bring them in as we are ready to unpack them. It will be easier to get all of the furniture figured out that way and it has an oversized two car garage. We have lots of big furniture and it is hard enough for us to figure out where to put it all when we move without boxes in the way.
We have talked about possibly taking a drive up there on Sunday with the kids since James is off work anyway because the girls really want to see the house. It would be just a road trip with maybe only whatever small things would fit in the back of the Jeep. It also depends on if we have everything ready to go for Monday. We only have 2 boxes left and we are waiting for James' friend Jeremy to bring more over after he gets a shipment at work Wednesday. I hope he brings us enough.
All of this planning has me getting nervous. I really wish we had the lease signed already. James is supposed to sign it tomorrow night but it worries me that something will go wrong. We are so close to all of this being over and I do not want something to happen. This house is an answer to all of our prayers and I just want it all signed so I can relax and be happy.
