movin' on up
this weekend's move went relatively smooth... the only hitch being we had no electricity the first night we were there...but on the bright side is that it was halloween, so it looked like it was intentional...hehehe...it went like this... since all of the bills of the apartment were in either my or hubby's name, i was responsible for calling the utility companies to stop service at the apartment and forward the bills to the new address...which is what i did. unfortunately, i forgot to set up a new account for electricity at the house. i think speaking to an automated voice over the phone threw me off. so we had no electricty the whole weekend.
we started moving our stuff in saturday morning. everyone got up early (a rare occurence on a weekend...but this weekend was special)...my mother and sister in law together with clara went ahead to bring in the rice and other food stuff in the house...the guys started loading the pickup truck...i stayed behind to finish cleaning out our room...around lunch time we had KFC at the new house...then a brief rest then started hauling stuff in again... good thing we were moving in a house less than 10 minutes away from the apartment else this going back and forth between both places would have been ridiculous. we stopped when it got dark and slept in that apartment for the last time. 
i'm ready!  
the house with lolo  
is it time to eat yet? lunch break 
nap time sunday morning the same cycle as saturday...load truck, drive the house, unload, drive back to the apartment, load again.... i must say the guys got the bulk of the work... they hauled all the big boxes, mattresses, tvs, computers, tables, the fridge, a sofa in the back of the pickup truck...not all at once, though...my hubby said it took 13 trips in two days to haul everything...not including the couple of mini trips with our cars loaded with the smaller boxes. as it got dark outside, we started to pack the remaining odds and ends left at the apartment...things like pens, paper, clips, wires, extension cords, etc....throw them into a bag and sort them out later...except these "odds and ends" filled up about 5 large garbage bags... that's alot of stuff!...when we got to the house, my mother in law had lighted candles put them around the house... we carried flashlights to get around... appropriately, it was halloween so outside looking in it kinda looked like a haunted house with the candles and the moving flashlights... on our street there were lots of kids doing the trick or treat thing...made me anticipate clara dolled up next year...maybe as dora? ;o) this weekend was tiring but fun...we were all in good spirits even with the work we had ahead of us...the guys were joking around even if they had to work to carry the heavy stuff...it wasn't stressfull or tense... very light hearted and smooth sailing considering we only had two days to move in... the weekend went by pretty fast. |
