And Then We Moved

Whew! I'm writing this about one week after our big move to Walla Walla. It's a little surreal to look back. On Saturday July 11th, we began packing the truck. Due to a math error (as in we didn't do any), our truck was too little. Warren was able to do some engineering magic and Jon and Kento took apart almost all of our furniture...and it worked. Between the truck and our car, we fit almost everything. Warren did tie some laundry baskets and the pack 'n play to the trailor.
On Friday night, we slept on the floor in the apartment. This was the night when I realized that I am not 18 anymore. Sleeping on the floor is painful. Also, Adalie didn't sleep well in her pak 'n play, so she came to sleep on the floor with us. She then slept very well. The trick about sleeping with Addi is that she likes to sleep with her feet in the air. In her crib, this works out well. With us, it means that she sleeps with her feet on Sandy's face or my back. When we woke up in the morning, she was above our heads up against the wall. We were very tired, but managed to finish packing everything with Warren and Lindsay's help. The car was sooo packed that the rearview mirror actually broke off. We drove off and headed to Walla Walla. Addi talked most of the way (see video below). When we arrived we were supposed to call the lady from the storage place. We called all day and she didn't answer. I was very frustrated because we needed to return the truck. We eventually got ahold of her on Monday and moved our stuff in. It ended up being better because Sunday was about 100 degrees with thunder and lightening. Monday was about 65 degrees and windy which was perfect. We moved everything out of the truck. Moved storage stuff into storage. Moved home stuff back onto the truck, drove to the house and unloaded it again. Then we hooked up the trailor and took the truck back...whew! It took about three days to unpack and sort through everything, but we are settled in and beginning our new adventure in Walla Walla. Thanks Eugene!
