Well... what an adventure in moving. They say the two most stressful things a person can do in their life is buying a home and changing jobs. Doing both at the same time should have been hell. I have to say with the short deadline, I never had the chance to truly freak out. I think if I had more time, I would have lost my mind.
We ran out of time packing but fortunately a fantastic friend finished everything up for us after we left. Thank you Jason!! You rule!!
We hit the road at 7 am on Aug 1 with 2 cars. One packed with the cats and the other with the stuff we would need to live for up to a week without our stuff. The first two hours went great with the exception of one cat that had taken it upon himself to mark every 5 second mark of the trip with a meow. And then the second car decided to die on the side of the road... died, dead... towed the rest of the way to Woodstock.... 4 hours... that was a little stressful... ok a lot stressful.
The house closing had some flaws... the mortgage hadn't been transferred to my lawyer yet. It didn't actually happen until the 5th due to the long weekend but the owner allowed us to move in anyway.
Our stuff was delivered on the 7th and now we are almost unpacked. Our neighbours are amazing. The people across the street have lent us anything we need including their car. Our next door neighbour came over to make sure it was ok that he continues to mow our lawn.
I started my new job on the 5th and am still amazed on the people focus of this company. Everyday I learn something new about the company that increases my level of awe. I feel like a princess...
