moving, moving, moving


I have not been able to blog much this week as we are in the midst of moving. It has been very hectic trying to get the new house ready to move in and cleaning up the rental house as we move out. I finally decided we could not do it all ourselves, so we hired a moving company ("three men and a truck") to move the furniture and boxes of stuff, etc. It took them almost 4 hours to load the truck and about 3 hours to unload. It was money well spent. I had hoped to move last week, but we discovered the new AC condenser (13 SEER) that the seller installed did not work properly. The inside cooling unit (10 SEER) and/or evaporator coil did not match. I finally was able to contact the seller and the company that was hired to replace the AC unit came out last Friday and installed a new inside unit. Praise the Lord, the new unit did not cost us a dime!

So this past weekend we "kicked it up a notch" and began packing boxes at the rental house and cleaning cabinets and floors in the new home. Even though it meant staying up to almost 3 AM on Weds morning, we were able to get most things packed in boxes. By Saturday, we will finish moving our clothes and cleaning the rental house and continue unpacking boxes. At least we are able to sleep in our new home now. Feel free to drop by and we will have an unpacking party!

Another blessing to share, a couple from our church brought us a wonderful meal Wednesday afternoon. We have enjoyed two days of this homemade dinner of roast beef, rice and gravy, green bean casserole, corn, slaw, home grown tomatoes and cucumbers, and peach cobbler and vanilla ice cream for dessert. It was so nice to sit down and eat a meal like that in the midst of our moving and unpacking when you do not have time to cook.
