Moving Part 1

So we moved yesterday.  We actually got done pretty quickly and within an hour and a half we had everything moved into my dad's trailer.  Then we took another 20 minutes or so to load up mine and Covey's cars with the stuff we needed to take with us to his parent's house.  We dropped it off at his parents and then went back to clean the place.  

We had been cleaning for an hour or so when the people who were going to be moving in knocked on the door and asked if they could start moving their stuff in.  We told them that we weren't done cleaning yet and we still had a few things we needed to load in the car.  They then proceeded to tell us that they didn't mind if the place was clean or not.  I was thinking, 'Really?  You've got to be kidding me.'  But they were just overly anxious to get in and even asked if we would move our car so they could back their truck in and start moving in while we were moving out.  I was getting kind of bugged with them at this point because Covey had told our landlord, Nate, that the place wouldn't be available to move into until 4pm and here were these people wanting to move in.  So I was probably a little more rude than was necessary and I told them that 'no, we weren't going to move our car because we still had things we needed to load into it and they could just wait until we were done'.  Not the most diplomatic approach but I was tired, hungry, sweaty and annoyed with them.

Covey and I finally got all of our stuff moved out of the apartment and into the car.  I went and gave the keys to the new renters and then told the landlord that we were leaving and that the people were already ready to move in.  He was surprised at this because he had told them it would be ready at 4pm.  Oh well.  We were outta there and so happy to be gone.  

I took some pictures of us in the car after we had to cram everything in it after being pushed out.  We didn't have a lot of time to pack everything up very well so it was really stuffed.  I had a box at my feet and one on my lap and Covey had Saffy (our fish) on the floor between his feet plus our garbage can in between us.  It was crazy.

 

At least next time it will be us moving into our new place, which will make the whole process a lot more fun I think.  Here's to doing this all over again in a couple weeks!
