Moving On

Hello all!
Well, I caved. I decided to hold on to my computer during the move.  This week was the biggy. Movers came to pack our stuff. I have to tell you that this has been a major achievement for me. This was the first time in 15 years of marriage that i had to deal with the household packing without my husband and I was so nervous about it (He has been away at school for the past 30 days and comes home tomorrow,YAY!!). But the "man upstairs" was looking out for us and it turned into such a wonderful experience and I feel so empowered! Our moving crew were the best ever and I can't say enough good things about them. I know that I have made three friends and I wish them all the best.

Here is a picture of (from left to right) Victor, Baker and Bo with my son Jesse. ( I let him stay home one of the days to be an extra set of hands). Bo was the guy in charge and he really spoiled us. He even paid the kids money for "helping out" and bought US all lunch. THat has NEVER happened to us before. Lovely lovely lovely.

And not to be outdone, here is Val in the thick of things determined to stick to her lounging routine.

Sorry girl, it's got to go! I know I brag on her alot but I can't help it. She has amazed me with how well behaved she has been. For the majority of the day all the doors were open and she would just lay at the opening watching the hustle and bustle.Never once tried to run out. She's only 18 months old, Good ol' girl.

Our moving crew was supposed to be here Mon, Tues and Wednesday but were making good time and finished late last night. It made for a long two days but is so worth the peace and quiet today. Mum and I even went to a movie today to celebrate! (Mum flew out to stay with me this past month, what a blessing)

Next week we will be on the road to Las Vegas. I'll keep you posted!

For anyone who has left comments , thank you so much.  I like to reply personally as often as I can but haven't had a chance this week. But I am reading and grateful for the support!

More to come soon.....

I´m glad everything is going well so far! I´m thinking a lot about you! Off to new adventures!
Ah, the smell of cardbord boxes!

I'm glad you've had such a good experience! I too had to pack up and move my house while my husband was out of town for two weeks-sheesh! I thought I'd have a meltdown; turned out pretty good though. :)

So far, so good, it sounds like. Best of luck on the road, Roz.

congratulations Roz... Great job! A new adventure begins!

Roz, you just completely freaked me out. I knew you were moving to Vegas. My father in law lives in Vegas and he gets around. His name is Baker and he is the splitting image of that larger guy in the picture. I was trying to enlarge the photo to see, when I finally figured out theres no way that that is my Baker. Anyway, I've only moved once (crosscountry). It was so cool when we had movers come in, pack up everything, and all we had to do was vaccuum the floor after they shipped our stuff. Hope you have a smooth transition.

Luck be a lady tonight!
Congrats Roz & Best wishes for your new adventure!

doggie looks like a darling! good luck with the move! :)

Roz, good luck with the move. I'm envious that you had packers...I wish I did. It's a pain in the butt to be in limbo with your art supplies. We kept our computer out too and just put it in the car. Crazy how it's a necessity. Good luck and thanks for the posts to my site.

Good for you! Moving is one of the most stressful things humans can engage in....they tell me. Our move up here to NH was a good one, the new home is great and I haven't found that the stress statement is true at all.

What a great family you have, to pitch in, doggie and all, and make the move a successful one. When you have two minutes to rub together, let us know all about the new digs, the kids school and where you will put all YOUR stuff!

Hi Rozzie Gal! I have missed your PBJ posts :-( Glad to hear from you again recently :):):)

[KimC]

How nice to hear a positive 'moving house' story. Those guys look great- like superheroes.

[Maggie]

ROZ, I MISS YOU!!! We haven't chatted in so long...I am glad to hear things are going so well though.

God Speed and God Bless You All.

Talk to you soon!
