We are in..........mostly

Well, Sunday came and we got our U-Haul rental truck, bright and early. The people to help Ron move our stuff that seems now to have multiplied in our 9 months in Allentown, NJ were supposed to be there between 1 PM and 2PM. You guys thought I was the only one growing in 9 months - our closets and under bed storage also grew. So what we thought would be a couple of hours packing turned into an all day event!



We made our last run from Allentown to our new home, emptied the truck by 10PM. By this last run, I thought Ronnie was going to die and he wound up lying in bed, while his Mom and Dad finished emptying a truck. There should have been a "Do not attempt this stunt at home" warning on our move on Sunday or a show on TLC - "Trading Places - When Not To Move (Yourself)". One bedroom, one pregnant wife and one husband trying to move it all.



Monday came and the "Real" movers showed up - a real exciting trio - Johnny, Pauly and Stu. This is not the cast of the Sopranos. They were amazing got our 10x30 storage unit emptied and into our new house in 3.5 hours.

The bad news is we still have our small 10x10 unit with our kitchen bookcase and dining room set still to unload. Our comedy trio said, "No way". This looks like some non-professionals loaded it - loose stuff everywhere, it will take forever and we won't guarantee that stuff won't break. So we gave them a reprieve, decided to move everything else, get some stuff unpacked and get the rest of our belongings in the next few weeks. Ron and I will need to organize that space a little better before our trio returns on a weekend, as their own entrepreneurs to make some side money. So back to U-Haul we will go to rent another truck and let them do it.


More to come.......L&R
