Moving - Home Sweet Home

I have been so busy with the house that I stopped blogging. I am very sorry. Well where to start. We closed on the house on Friday 10/24/08. It was a whirl wind of a day. I got up at 5:30 to get to work early so I would not lose any time at work. I have been trying to make up an hour I leave early for doctor’s appointment or the house to make sure I have as much time as possible once the baby is born. Back to Friday . . . I worked until 1:30 and headed to another part of town for the closing. I am horrible with driving in Dallas even though we have lived here for about 10 months. Here I am with the GPS and it is telling me to go another way that the Google directions. I am calling Bob in a panic and luckily he walked me through on how to get there. It took about an hour and half to close and then we were off to our apartment. We had been packing for weeks and Bob wanted to get as much into the house that day and the following day get the big items with a U-Haul. We loaded the truck and car three times and did not get to bed until 1:30 am. I was exhausted, hungry, sour, and in a foul mood by then. Let’s just say I did not lift anything heavy but I have not been on my feet or up that long in a very long time. The next day Bob was up around 6:30 which woke me and I finally rolled out of bed at 7:00. There was a big panic since U-Haul never called us about where we were supposed to pick up the U-Haul. We are calling and them and find out it is the wrong direction. This sucks since it costs a $1.00 a mile to drive it. Okay so a truck for $35.00 turned into $106.00. Now I know how they make their money. But as we are driving to get the U-Haul Dish Network calls to get come over and set of the satellite now. Okay, you are not supposed to be there until noon and 5 and it is 8:30 am! I told them there was no way and I was baffled since we had a different time set up. He said that he was just trying to work his schedule and thought he could squeeze me in early. The problem is we are not there and the TVs are still at the apartment. We made it to the apartment and one of Bob’s friends came to bring some muscle. I helped pack some small items while they did the heavy lifting. We loaded Bob’s truck, his friend’s truck and the U-Haul and still had some stuff left in the apartment! That day mainly involved me unpacking boxes and taking an hour and half nap since my body could not take it.

We are 98% done with putting things away. We are building some shelving in the bathrooms since there was not enough space to house all of our stuff! Darn those double sinks. :)
