We survived the last move for a LONG time! And I do not use the term "survive" loosely! By prayer and angel's covering the kids and I were alive and so very glad to see Daddy when he arrived Friday after our hardest move ever! So here's the condensed version: Last month the movers showed up on a Tuesday morning to pack the entire contents of our home in Kyle for the move to Houston. WOW! I thought this is going to be AWESOME, I dont have to pack at all! Five hours later I got a phone call that the packer were finished and they would be back the following day to load the truck... amazing they are so fast! Well... I got home to find out that they had left out about 30% of our stuff and to their credit I thought maybe they did it on purpose. When I phoned the company they assured me that the rest would be packed in the morning. They showed up Wednesday morning to finish packing and load the trucks. The kids and I again evacuated to stay out of the way and agreed to meet the movers in Houston later that afternoon to begin unloading. Fast forward all day to 11pm. I am at home with three kids asleep upstairs, five tried, grumpy moving men, a house full of half uploaded (not unpacked) boxes and the movers are ready to go. Wait a minute, our quote included unpacking! One hour later, many phone calls between myself, the moving manager and my husband the guys agreed to come back the next day to finish. They were never told that they had to unpack. And on top of that all of our thing had been thrown into boxes... resulting in a HUGE unorganized mess on the unpacking end. Things that belonged upstairs were in the garage, toys and an upstairs tv were in my bathroom and these guys wanted to go back to Austin! They did return the next day to move the items I could not move on my own into their correct rooms, but in the end I got stuck with the rest. And the 30% of unpacked stuff in the Kyle house, a good bit of it was left there. Thankfully Sam was able to go by and get it. Two sleepless days later I finally got the mess sorted through and most of the house together. I know Im insane but I could not quit until we could live here! So all that to say, PRAISE God for our beautiful new home and for all of His many blessings He has provided us! My camera died wile taking photos of the house, I will add more when I have good light to take them :)
