Never again...

Okay I will never pack and load a Uhaul to move again. From now on I will ALWAYS hire movers, I don't care how much is costs. Thankfully we had help from my brother, Richard's dad and Andy so we are thankful for that.
Here is the deal...we have too much junk! And maybe this happens when you have children but seriously! You never know how much junk you have until you are faced with having to pack it all and somehow make it all fit into a 17' truck (we should have gotten the 24' truck).
Our lease ended yesterday so we were forced to get out of the apartment yet we can't move in to the house until this Saturday so we have the packed Uhaul parked in my dad's driveway and we are living out of boxes for a week. We are thankful that we had somewhere to go.
As my brother was helping us he asked Richard if we had ever thought of throwing anything away and Richard told him that we did...2 phone books. wow! Talk about pack rats! Do we really need that entire box of super heroes that Daniel doesn't touch? What about those posters Richard had up in his dorm room in college? Do we need those? Richard, do you really need that hideous purple (yes purple) sweater you wore years ago? And who on earth let you buy that?
We did have a few laughs so that was good:)

Our next step is to close on the house on Wednesday and move in on Saturday...keep your fingers crossed for us. I will write more once we are in and settled. Life is good:)
