It has been a bit since my last post, but obviously, things have been pretty busy over the last week. Thanks to Jenn for the reminder to update the log…
Since my last update, we have actually moved into our new house. Well, all of our stuff is there but we are sleeping in the hotel. We expect to get enough unpacking done tomorrow, however, to move in for good. Maya loves her new room too. The first time she saw the house, she ran upstairs to stake claim to the room that met her rigorous standards. Once determined, she jumped on the floor with glee, rolling around and giggling the whole time. Needless to say, a better reaction than we expected!
Finding a school is the next big hurdle. Andrea has seen quite a few already. We hope to have that solved in the next few days.
Day 2 of moving is going pretty smoothly now… Well, now that the plan was revised. I am not a big fan of the plan, but if it gets done right and well (and quickly), the ends will justify the means. Here is the plan:
- Leave the big, 53-foot truck in Jessup, Maryland, 26-miles away from the house
- Rent a U-Haul
- Bring the U-Haul to the house and pack it up
- Once full, return to Jessup to transfer the stuff over to the large truck
- Return to the house with the U-Haul for another load
Certainly not the most elegant solution to the “truck is too big for the street” problem, but it seems to be working.
By day’s end, the house should be mostly packed and partially emptied. Tomorrow is the final loading day. Until then…
It is pretty disruptive having people in the house boxing up everything we own, but it is certainly preferable to having to do it ourselves! Today and tomorrow are for the packing and the loading of the truck will be on the third day. Thereafter, we are officially homeless… at least until we move into our new place in CA in about two weeks. Fun!
