Moving Day 2010 - Part 2

This past Monday, we continued our move. (Click here for a reminder of Moving Day 2010 - Part 1 and for Jordan's views on organized moves!) In order to be as organized as possible, we designated separate areas of the house for items to be placed in different vehicles. Everything pictured below (plus a few pieces of furniture from upstairs and the piano) went into the Penske truck.

Four guys arrived to help load the truck sometime after 10am. They commented that it was nice that everything was already boxed and that everything was well organized. (I guess Jordan's not the only one who has had to pack someone instead of just move someone when he has agreed to help someone move). They loaded the piano first. Just a little bit later, three more guys arrived, (and they were glad the piano was already in the truck!) Less than five minutes later, the truck was loaded with everything from the Cooper house! By 10:30am, they had all taken some Gatorade and left.

Claire spent a few minutes with Dad in the Penske truck. She didn't have any idea about the adventure we were about to undertake!


Then Jordan went to the storage unit and waited for the movers to meet him and load the truck with everything else. The two-hour time frame when the movers were supposed to show up came and went, and there were still no movers. Then the lady working at the storage unit said that we owed more money, (which we didn't), so she said she wasn't going to let Jordan in. But she finally did. And then the movers did show up. So then everything was back on track.

By Monday night, the truck was loaded, and the cars were loaded. We were ready to hit the road in the morning! Baton Rouge, here we come!!!
