Moving Day


After six months in our house, the time came for us to move on.

When Mindy's father was visiting he helped Cornelius take the big furniture to the new house. They brought four loads in Randy's truck. Thanks Mr. B!

Wednesday and Thursday, Mindy packed up most of their worldly possessions. Cornelius assisted her with the packing and heavy lifting of boxes. Then, on Friday morning some of their friends came to help them move. They trucked everything over the new house...two blocks away. It only took four more vehicle loads. By 10am everything was unloaded, and scattered throughout the house. Kati, Karen, and Mindy began unpacking the boxes and suitcases right away. The gang stopped around noon for a short break and ate sandwiches from Epi'dor. Randy and Cornelius left to go and buy some beds for the house, while the women contined to unpack and organize the house. Around 2:00 the ladies were exhausted. So they sat on the couch the rest of the afternoon and watched a Barbie movie with the girls (and listened to the Beattles).

Cornelius and Chloe set up the beds when they arrived. Now Chloe has her own bed to sleep in!

Here are a few pictures from the adventure....all in a days work! 
I was big fan of the work Kati was doing, she blew me away!

Randy had a wheelly good time helping,
he didn't even get tired.

Everything made it safely!

Cool! They got all the food.

Keep on trucking Jason.

Hang in there Maia, we are almost done!

We had a ball of fun moving.
 
It was a cooking hot day, but thankfully we were done by noon.
 
At the end of the day we were all a bunch of basket cases, tired and exhausted, ready for a break.
 
Maia, you put that under where?
