the BIG move

June 24th, 2008

This past weekend was the BIG move into our new house!!! Hubby and I are pros at the whole moving game as we’ve moved 6 times in the 9 years we’ve lived together. And that’s not even counting all of the moves during those college years (hubby and I lived together during some of that time…that’s just a whole other story… but I digress. …meandering mind!)

What I want to tell you is that the move went just fine! Almost too easy. I kept waiting for something to go wrong; some sort of moving disaster to tend to. Our big move (2 summers ago) was filled with stories of lame moving guys that didn’t bring proper moving equipment (like truck dollies), moving guys that show up in flip flops and want you to brew hot coffee on a 90 degree day, and guys that show up late and leave early because they have somewhere else to be! (you know who you are, crazy Seattle movers!)

After all of that we were due some pro movers. And these guys delivered. They showed up on time, came prepared, and the best part was the whole job lasted only 4 hours. I would so recommend them to anyone in the area. Love-love-loved them!

Below are a few pics from the BIG day. Stay tuned for home improvement pics– we’ve been making some major changes already on the inside of the house. Well, off to unpack some boxes!

    Congrats on the big move! Seeing this many boxes makes me wonder what size place you moved FROM?!! You either just’downsized’ or you had some freakishly great organizing skills in your last place! We won’t expect you to poke your knitting-head to the surface for awhile, but send up a flare if you become trapped under all that cardboard.
    Do you need help with any of this??? I’m home all weekend, Sunday is a lazy day and I need to vacate the house while Stan sleeps off his overnight shift at the hospital..Liv and I would be happy to help unpack or shift furniture if you need two strong backs!
    Let me know…you should have my number.
