Day One of the Move

My mom and dad are coming in to town this afternoon. Jason will be in from Adrian about 6:00 p.m. I'm defrosting freezers and packing boxes. AAAAGGGG I HATE MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's so stressful and more so because I've been doing it pretty much myself. Bless their hearts, but Elise and Anja are not much help in this process. In fact, could packing be any HARDER when I have a 3-year old asking every 5 seconds "why are you doing that?" "What are you doing with that?" AND a 10-month old pulling things OUT of boxes as quickly as I put them in?

We will continue packing today and we pick up the moving truck tomorrow. I sent out an all-call for help, so hopefully people will come to help us box and load tomorrow. The plan is to have the truck loaded by Sunday and drive it down to Adrian Sunday. Because we don't have a house yet we are putting our stuff into storage down there. A small town story: There is a storage place just around the corner from Jason's apartment, so Jason called to see if there was any space available. The owner said there was, but he is going to be out of town for several days. So, he said to just put our stuff in there and lock it up and he'll get a hold of us when he gets back. The guy knew who Jason was, had seen him going to work when he was out for his morning walks. When Jason said he was looking for storage the guy said "are you the one living above the photography studio?" Yep, that would be us.
