Moving Day

This is the night before we moved out of our FIRST home. This is the house Mike and I bought together after less than one year of marriage. This is the house that we brought all 4 of our children home to. Although we have definitely outgrown it, it was more than a house to us, it was our home.
Due to staging with some of our furniture, this is how we spent two months eating all of our meals. It wasn't a very structured meal time but we made it work. Here we are eating our last dinner at the old home.
The kids spent the morning with my friend Anne and the afternoon with MIMI on moving day. Thank you to both of them for helping us out!
1 very large moving truck + 5 men = 1 time efficient + cost effective moving day
1 important thing I learned from this move: no matter how organized you think you are, you aren't.
1 important thing Mike learned from this move: always turn off the water before disconnecting the washing machine to avoid minor flooding in your home.
We have many cherished memories from our 8 1/2 years of living here but we are looking forward to making our new house a home, having a little more space for all 6 of us and sending our children to an exemplary elementary school.
