First, I was successful in selling my car! This is good, because moving 3,000+ miles is horrifically expensive (yes, I keep saying this - and it's still true). Second, we were able to procure a newer 20-ft truck with only 4,000 miles on it for the same price of the 17-ft truck. We will have a little extra room in the truck - but that is ok. Third, we have been getting quite a bit of help - especially from Grandma Judy, Sabrina, & my Mom. In fact, Grandma Judy has taken on the task of packing my kitchen - which is great, because I had been avoiding that like a plague-covered whore (ignore this last part if it offends - not my intention). Fourth, Charlotte has no neurological or physical injuries from falling off the back of the U-Haul onto her head, on the concrete driveway...only a mild concussion and lots of bumps & bruises. Fifth and probably last, Kev and I haven't killed each other yet...probably a good thing that all his knives and crossbows and weapons and geeky, sharp what-nots are packed at the front of the truck (so no easy access)!
And my final message of this post, because it keeps popping up in my head...
