Week 11 Day 5 - Tuesday, July 28th - Moving Day

Tuesday:
We moved! How hard is that to explain! Let’s see:
Arnold brought Q over to Lori’s really really early in the morning (well around 7:30am or so). We did stop and get me something to eat from McDonalds before they left (and sure enough McDonald’s messed it up but whatever). The boys went over and unloaded Lori’s house and then Arnold went to Pastor Steve’s place and did the same there and came home. I unloaded and unpacked things from the kitchen kept the laundry going and did a bit more unpacking here.

When Arnold got home we emptied the trailer and then went to the next stop, the storage unit. Because we had taken some the day before, we were doing good and managed to fit it all in. We closed the storage unit account and headed off home. We stopped at Subway and I picked up some subs for us while Arnold went home and started to unpack. We made a quick stop for lunch and kept going. We went to the campground and put everything else in that we couldn’t fit in the car or didn’t want too (ie the BBQ). Then we filled the car and headed home. Unpacked it all and headed back to the UHAUL spot. We dropped it off and raced back to the trailer. We finished take down and took some photos. Then we brought the trailer home and dropped it off here. I think we picked up something to eat for supper and went to Lori’s and Q from his fun day. He had a BLAST! It was wonderful (thanks again Lori, it was wonderful to not have him running around all day).
Here are some photos of the campsite:

Week 11 Day 4 - Monday, July 27th - Packing and Moving

Q and I had a good night. He slept with me in my bed. The next morning we packed up/cleaned up/burned things. It was a good day. We spent as much of our day outside as we could and did make a run to Mcdonalds for Lunch since we had no fridge or food!
















Q and I met Arnold at Warden and Lawrence and picked him up so we could go and get the trailer we and reserved. We went and filled up the trailer with some things from the storage unit and then we went out for supper and took our time going to the new house. Rob had asked we get there around 8pm but by the time we had supper and everything it was almost 7pm and we were ready to go so we took our time coming over. Once we were on our way Rob called and asked if we would be able to get there soon so we sped up a bit and got there shortly after 7:15pm.

We did our final walk through and unpacked the car and trailer and got ready for the night. We were tired and just wanted to sleep. Here are a few photos of Q enjoying the new house:



















I finished unpacking by around 9pm or so but Arnold kept going as long as he could. He was incredible!

Week 11 Day 3 - Sunday, July 26th - Clean up

Sunday
We were up early again on Sunday. I would guess around 7:30am or so. We flipped the last load of laundry and had some breakfast! Dad made a good one.

We finished packing up the car and got on the road early. I wanted to see the damage done and hopefully get things sort of cleaned up in a good time. We left Kyler with Nana and Papa for his week and he could have cared less. He didn’t care if we said good bye or not. He was playing with Amber!

We were on the road by 10:30am and got home shortly after noon.
We took a load over to the garage (since we had shoved the van full of everything we could). Once we unloaded we headed out to the campsite to see how it looked. Here are the photos from the campsite:























































































It was so bad guys. We managed to get one of the guys at the top of the hill to come down with the Kubota and help Arnold with the fridge. The only thing we did with the fridge was open it up and take out Kristina’s Friends containers and then ziptied it closed because we didn’t want to deal with anything in there. When Arnold flipped it to get it out of the tent water came POURING out of it. It was so bad.

The ground was SO bad to be walking on in shoes so we all took off our shoes. Then you kept slipping so Arnold put down some sand and said not only did I get a mud pack on my feet BUT I could exfoliate at the same time. I told him this did NOT mean he was getting out of giving me a pedicure.
Once things were clean we tossed them into the van and brought them right to the garage again. Less things to bring later. We stopped at the pizza place and ordered some pizza for supper. Then after unloading the van we picked up the pizza and headed to Kristina and Tim’s house. We had supper there and hung out for a bit. Q and I braved the campsite and Arnold went to work via transit and we went back to sleep.
