I need a back massage!

Yesterday was the big moving day!  Originally, we had about 18 people lined up to help us out.  Well, I got an email from one couple saying the husband's knee was acting up and they both had stressful weeks of work and just wouldn't be able to help us.  Then, a few of Hubby's work friends didn't show either.  All in all, we ended up with about 9 people helping.  To help bribe a few of them, I told them I would be making homemade cinnamon rolls and we'd have juice and coffee that morning.  Then, to finish the day off, we'd have pizzas and sodas.  I think that helped a little!!  Haha

But overall, the move went so smoothly!  About 2 hours after we started loading the truck, we were done.  The truck was emptied and everything put in the house or shed.  It was a miracle.  I knew it wouldn't take long, but 2 hours to completely pack up a house and unload the moving truck!?!?!?!!?  I was shocked.  What can I say - we have some amazing friends!  I think a lot of it helped that I had packed up nearly everything before the day even started.  Plus, our bed, futon, and tables (dining, coffee, end tables, etc) were all dismantled which made loading a whole lot easier.  All in all the day went by really well and without a hitch (aside from all the dirt, sand, and mud that was dragged into and throughout our old house).  It was nice to have a little bit of time to just relax some and unpack a few items last night.  Now the real fun begins - unpacking everything and cleaning the old house!  whew....do I ever have my work cut out for me this week!

Yesterday though was amazing and I just hope that the rest of our moves go this smoothly!!
