I moved with over 100 boxes of mainly items from my parents home that had been in storage for a over 10 years, mixed in with my boxes from over 20 years ago, and furniture. I had two beds, beautiful dressers for two bedrooms, couches, chairs, tables, a buffet, a china cabinet and more. It required a 26 foot long UHaul trailer, and although it was not full, it sure was well packed and organized. I will move more items down over Christmas, weather permitting!My two brothers helped pack and make sure everything was in order. It is quite a talent to load a big truck for moving, and they are both quite talented! My nephew, Michael, and his friend, Riley, helped load the UHaul in Boise, and a group of 3 people from Rawlins helped unload it, with my big brother directing and giving them the boxes. My brother Charlie drove the UHaul over the beautiful mountains to Rawlins, and I rode with my sister-in-law, Connie. The trip down took us around 10 hours.My welcoming committee consisted of several deer, who all come over the mountains and find food in the community. One of my neighbors, a 10-year old, told me that they have named all of the deer who live in our neighborhood!When I prepared the boxes for moving, I wrote the room that they went to on each box, so that they were all delivered easily to the right spot. I have 8 major rooms, three bathrooms, and a two-car garage. Loading for the move took us a full day to accomplish; unpacking the UHaul took us just under two hours.My brother Charlie and his wife, Connie, had helped me prepare the house in Rawlins prior to my move. Charlie painted all of the rooms, cleaned, and did small repairs. They put in new lighting for me, and made the house beautiful. My big brother is an Engineer and has been a contractor for the past 20 years. We do not need to worry about paint and glue being toxic in the US, so it only sat for a few days before Imoved in, with no smell at all. It was just perfect!My friend, Tina, drove over from Illinois, which is a 14 hour drive, and she has been helping me unpack for the past two weeks. It has been so much fun having her help, and I am forever grateful for her logical skills, organizational skills, easy-going personality, and friendship. We have laughed and had lots of fun, and we unpacked the last box yesterday!!! We even took time to explore the area and have some fun shopping adventures. Hooray!For the next several months I will reorganize, and move items around. I still have lots of work to do, and will have a shipment of furniture arrive sometime in the spring from China that will complete my home.This is a huge new adventure, and I am so thankful for all of the help I have had along the way. This new chapter in my life is going to be lots of fun, and I look forward to sharing all of my adventures with you. Wishing you all a wonderful week!!!!
