We woke up early and started getting ready for a day of
moving. We first headed to the church to
pick up our friends van. They are gone
for the week on a mission trip and felt bad that they couldn’t help us
move. So they decided that they could
help by letting us borrow their
van! That thing holds LOTS of
boxes! We then went to storage and
loaded up the trailer, truck, and van.
We got tons of stuff and then headed to the house. I was following behind Troye and the
boys. We were about half way to the land
when I rounded a corner and saw a strange sight on the side of the road…
furniture! Then I saw our entertainment
center sitting in the middle of the road!!!!
I pulled over and and a man helped me move it to the side of the road. I called Troye who had already noticed the
problem! He turned around and came back.
Another guy stopped to help load the
items back onto the trailer. What an
experience! We still are not sure what
happened, but two tow straps came undone and the unit slid off the trailer!
Amazingly the unit was only slightly damaged and Troye can repair the little
damage! It was hot day, but we got the
first load unloaded. We decided to go
for another load and then spend the night at the house. So we made the drive back to Conroe (1hour). I went and picked up Bobber and some of our
clothes while Troye started loading another load. When I arrived at the storage Troye had the
safe almost loaded and a friend was there helping! This thing is HEAVY! Finally it was loaded and we made the drive
back to the house. We were exhausted
when we got to the house so we put the boys to bed and then decided to just
wait until the morning to unload the trailer.
Well that was a great plan in theory… until a storm blew in at 10
pm! Troye and I rushed outside to bring
in the boxes and then we had to figure out how to cover the safe! It is way too heavy for us to move. Finally we get the car jack and were able to
jack it up and flip it over! We had to
do this twice so that the safe was facing down and rain could not get inside of
it! WHEW! Crazy night but all was
ok!
