The night before moving day was my Grandma's 90th birthday. The kids and I went down to Cape to celebrate with her at Outback. She is so special and we were glad to be able to be there! Lila went home with my parents for the weekend and Nate & I came back to St.Louis for the last night in our old house.
We all slept pretty well, that's what being downright exhausted will do to you. Scott was working on moving day, so Nate and I packed up the rest of what was going to the new house that day and waited for the movers to arrive. Was it emotional? Yes. Yes, it was. It's been 2 weeks and I'm just now able to talk about the house without crying. I didn't think I would miss that house but of course all the memories came flooding in when I had to leave it. It was a good house for us. I talked bad about it a lot. Like a whole lot. But it was a good house. And I will miss it.
The movers were so fast. They got there at 8:00 AM and all the furniture was in our new house by like 10:30 AM. It was a hot mess, but it was all in there.
After Nate and I had made all the trips we were going to make that day, we went to get the cats and bring them to their new home. Kitty P was immediately adventurous. Truman? Not so much.
But he eventually came around. I have to say both of them have taken the move really well. Thank goodness!
The movers could not get Nate's bed up to the third floor (the box spring) because of a weird angle up the stairs, so we made a trip to IKEA on Sunday to get him a new bed. He just had to have a hot dog when we were done. I felt like I needed something stronger than a hot dog. Ha! After Scott got home that night and unloaded the boxes, he asked me how I possibly managed to get them in the car. I answered that since a certain someone was working all during the move, I had to breakdown and use my muscles. Ha!
On Sunday afternoon, my Mom brought Lila to her new home! She was excited and immediately got to work taking over the guest room as her babies room. Sigh.
It was nice to have everyone under one roof in the new house that night!
