The move happened to be bigger than we thought—honestly, how much stuff can 2 people have in a 1000 sq. ft. condo?!? Apparently we were clever with how we “stored” things! Not to mention all of the stuff we have stored at my parents. We had a lot to do in a short amount of time, which always makes things more exciting! Add to that a heat index of over 100 degrees and the week was indeed memorable. Scott and I moved all of our belongings (well, those that weren’t already at my parents and those that weren’t added to the items at my parents) into 3—yes, THREE, storage units. We then loaded our clothes and our puppy and moved to the country for a few months until we find our “perfect” house.
Mo guarding the trailer—or blocking it. You can’t tell from this picture, but he has his ball close by. He was not sure about this move, but felt confident if he had his most favorite toy with him.
On the big moving day, Scott had great help from our friend’s son. Spencer is a rising high school Senior and is on the football and power lifting team. He may not look the part, but trust me—he is strong! And such a kind kid—we really had fun with him that morning. Thanks Spencer—we’ll call you when we move again!
A quick family picture
This was the highlight of the day. Apparently Mo was feeling left-out or was simply mad that all of his stuff was gone. I was talking to my mom as she was leaving, and out of the corner of my eye I noticed a rapid movement. Mo was rolling...and rolling, and rolling, and rolling...in a huge dirt pile! Since it had not rained in awhile, he was covered in dust. He put Pig Pen to shame!! I couldn't be mad because I was laughing so hard. And my mom reminded me that we didn't have any furniture that he could dirty up. Oh, it was funny. Just look at him:
What could have been a terrible, horrible, no-fun, very bad day was actually a fun and pleasant day. Thanks to all who helped! And goodbye Miller's Landing.
