Pack 'Em Up And Ship 'Em Out

 Day One:  If I had to sum up our Belgian Movers in one word, it would have to be... IMPRESSIVE!  Of all our moves, this one seems to be the best by far.  They arrived early in the morning and seriously jobbed out.   They boxed up the entire first floor and a lot of the second before the kids even got out of school!  These guys are some packing machines.  And they have a great sense of humor.  I love what they did with our Grandfather clock.  The weather was so nice that they used their lunch hour to get some much needed sun in the backyard.  I don't blame them. It was a beautiful day!   
 Day Two:  The movers arrived bright and early once again and finished packing up the house.  Unfortunately, Mother Nature had some tricks up her sleeve.  Typical of the weather here, it quickly went from comfy to cold, sunny to cloudy, and then... it hailed.  A lot.  They were anywhere from pea size to marble size.  Then as quickly as it started, it stopped.  Of all the things here that I will miss, crazy weather is not one of them.  Sorry Belgie!
Day Three:  All of our belongings were quickly loaded up into crates and carted off.  There is nothing left but a few borrowed beds and a loaner couch.  It's kind of sad, but it's also very exciting.  It won't be long until we get to follow them back to the great US of A!  Until then, we sit in our chilly, echoing cavern of a house and wait.  And Russ dreams of the day he will see his baby (Harley) once again.  Provided, of course, that it doesn't become a man made reef at the bottom of the big blue sea.  Heh heh heh.  That will serve him right for saying that's what happened to my van a couple of weeks ago. ;0)

  2. Awesome ideas! I told Russ I wasn't even sure what I would post about after we move, so we'll have to see. This might be the end of my blogging career. :)
