Well, we're getting settled into the new house. The move is done, but of course it didn't go as smooth as we had planned. It's a good thing that Molly and I are crisis management specialists!
The Move
We had scheduled movers for Sunday, but they were short staffed, so they cancelled on us. They came the next morning (Memorial Day). Everything started out fine; we got several things loaded. Then, just on queue, it started raining. And I don't mean a light rain, I mean a good ol' Texas Gulf Coast torrential downpour. This kept up for several hours - long enough that we released the movers after we got the stuff that was already in the truck unloaded into the garage at the new house. Now 30 minutes after they left, the skies opened up, and the sun came out. Molly, the eternal optimist, said, "let's rent a U-Haul and get it done." Turns out we found a U-Haul place with a truck, and we moved the rest of the stuff ourselves - probably about 2/3 of everything.
It got done, and we had a feeling of accomplishment considering we did it with just the two of us.
Now we're plowing through the unpacking. It's more fun than packing!

Look on the bright side...you shouldn't have to move again for a while!
Moving is never fun!
As for weather, haven't you heard the old addage that if you don't like the weather in Texas wait 10 minutes and it'll change...hehe
Glad you got most of it done!
