It has begun...
6:40am: The alarm clock blaring after another long night of packing and sleeping in tight quarters.We have a long day ahead of us. Three houses to move into one.
7:10am: In line at U-Haul for the truck, lacking coffee but excited about the adventure ahead.
8:03am: The first box is in the elevator and although Sparkie almost killed her building manager for not having the loading dock ready for us; but we've started.
*First lesson learned: Don't try and move with just two people.
Noon: Ok so we are delayed... but finally moving boxes into the Edge.
2:00pm: Off to the furniture location 30mins away, in the U-Hual on NOVA roads; yeah you know how that went, OH and it's raining now.
4:00pm: Furniture in the van and help in tow we've made it back to the Edge. Started bringing in the big stuff and hit our first snag; box spring doesn't fit up stairs. Hmm well we'll have to figure something out there.
5:00pm: Truck is empty and the help is hungry so I headed off to grab a couple of our favorite pizzas, Lost Dog Cafe, Highly recommend! Grabbed some beers too.
6:00pm: Help is leaving, now it's back to just the two of us. The reality sets in. Boxes are starting to get unpacked and the house is starting to come together.
10pm: It's been a long day; we've just sat down to watch some Rat Race and relax for a bit.
Midnight: Off to bed with the mattress on the floor. First day is done.
