The Move.....Part 1.

Here's what it looks like when the movers come to load up your life belongings on a truck....only wish we could envision what it looks like when they unload, unpack and set up shop somewhere in, oh say,,,,,'Miami'?? We are doing some 'temporary' and 'permanent' house hunting this weekend in Miami. Trying it for the first time with an almost-4 yr old. We'll see how that goes.

As of right now, here's plan G - look this weekend in Miami. Rent beach condo for 4-6 weeks, moving in the week of 27 July. This will at least get us into the same city together and in the same city where we need to live. Looking at real estate will be much cheaper that way. And, school starts the end of August, so need to be there to figure out where Olivia will go and get her settled into some activities to meet other little people. Renting a vacation condo will at least prevent us from having to unpack our stuff twice and there could be WAY worse things than having to look at the ocean every day when you wake up, right??

Here's the move.....say 'bye-bye' to 1304 Crowley Rd......It was not just a good house, but a great house!! Here is the view I found the first time we walked into the house when it was For Sale. I knew in an instant that this was the house we were looking for. This is me standing at the sink in the kitchen. I could cook and look at this....everyday. Very peaceful and relaxing. Even more relaxing if I was enjoying a nice glass of wine at the same time.

My sweet girl's room before, in the middle and after......





The 'crate' they built for the deer, and a few other things. Below is this truck that showed up. It had everything in it these two men needed to build on-the-fly crates. They built it for the deer, two painting and a glass table.

The 53' trailer they filled up....couldn't fit everything in it!! At the end of the first day, they had to call in a small truck to finish up the job. How does that happen?? They estimated 320 boxes and we only filled up 280. I guess we have way more furniture than they estimated. And a car. In the trailer.
Olivia found her old baby chair (rocker?) they were packing in the truck and decided it made a nice chair to supervise in!

The two 'toys' going to Miami....Kyle's Harley and his Dad's Mercedes convertible.

Early in the morning.....these guys had NO idea what was coming their way. And...105f temps!! Not fun, I tell you.






The view from the bedroom window.....i will miss this!

The 'company' car going in the backend. Amazing how they fit it all (or most of it!) in there. All done. That's a wrap.
