Day 98 - Rv and Moving!


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!
