we are 7/8ths moved

Yesterday was the big day. we had asked everyone to be here at 9am to help us move.

The day before we’d gone to get the U-Haul truck– a 24-footer, which Fabio had to drive around in Queens.

We stayed up til 2am packing, and we got up at 6am and continued packing, in order to be ready for the move with our friends’ help.

It was 9:30am when Liz showed up, and we were still not ready.  The other friends and family trickled in as time went on, each helping us load that truck.  All were part of making it all possible.  We all just kept working hard.  Some very hard as they carried heavy boxes up and down.  Some watching the truck.  Some carting the dolly. 7 people helped us here.

I was mostly still packing up in the apartment, and helping people know what to take and what not to take.

Not everyone could go to PA with us, so we made the voyage with 3 others.  We were blessed to have Fabio’s dad and Susie come up from Virginia to help unload at the new house.

We got all done in less than 3 hours , even with less people.

Fabio rocked it.  He worked so much, and he is feeling the effects of it today. But he was a real workhorse.

Afterwards, as promised, we went to Cracker Barrel for a nice big dinner, and we all shared dessert.  We had certainly earned it, or rather, they had.  Me, I’m not so sure.

Now we are back at the apartment.  We’re about to send off the boys to Disney World, with my parents in the morning.  We will pack up the 1/8th remainder of our stuff from the apartment and make our way to OUR house.

I can’t wait.

I will include some pictures on the next post.
