After the initial moving truck delay, there was some more delay, so our stuff was promised to arrive Friday instead of Thursday. And then, Friday morning, still more delay. But eventually the huge orange rig pulled up to the house and the two local moving men helped our driver get all of our belongings on to our property.
While we were getting set to move everything in, SOMEBODY got into the bathroom and played with the toilet paper! Oops.
Nothing major was broken and everything seems to have made it, despite the fact that our stuff has been on three moving trucks and inspected at many inspections since we last saw it on July 26th.
The biggest challenge is where to put it all! This house is less than half the size of our last house. When the movers asked me where each item was to go, I laughed and shrugged and often said 'the backyard?!'. So we have piles of boxes, gear, yard tools, etc all over the place in the backyard.
Rachel helped us unpack some things and start putting together furniture.
Unfortunately, it has rained (hard, fast thundershowers) almost every other afternoon since we've been here. (It's hot in the morning and sunny most of the time.) But Friday was no exception to the hard rain. The movers left at about 1:30pm and then I spent some time finding tarps and covering up the piles. Jason arrived home just in time to help cover up a few more things before the clouds opened up and let go.
