Our stuff is in

We made it through the day yesterday. The moving truck didn't arrive until around 11:00 a.m. And once it got here, some decisions had to be made. They couldn't drive on the driveway since it hadn't cured long enough yet. After much deliberation (and many phone calls b/w our agent, our relocation company contact, and the driver's boss) they decided to pull into our neighbor's driveway and come across the dirt with our stuff onto our driveway. (You could walk on the driveway)
So they got a slow start, but once they got into the "groove" they were on a roll. I started out marking box numbers, but it got too hard to mark numbers & tell them where stuff went, so my dad took over marking numbers, which was a challenge since he couldn't always understand their southern accent, and he needs a hearing aid :)

Good thing the basement is big! It got to be a standing joke for the moving guys that everything went to the basement. You see, it wasn't very easy to get to the basement. It's all dirt around the side of the house to get down around back. It's bumpy since the landscaping didn't get done. But they were troopers & took stuff down there. Since the bonus room isn't done and Tom decided he wanted everything that used to be in our garage up north down in the basement, there was LOTS to go down there. Unfortunately there was lots to go in the house, too! Tom has been saying all along that we built way too big a house. Well, when he saw the house after everything was moved in, he realized the house wasn't so big after all!

So, the work begins today, really! We'll be headed up after we finish breakfast to start arranging stuff & unpacking what we can, put blinds up, do little things the builder should have had done, and just talk some more about what needs to be sold in a garage sale!!!! :) (like all the SLEDS!! But, who's gonna buy those??)
