Moving Day

When I said that C.J. and I underestimated the magnitude of the packing & moving task, that was an understatement. Yesterday we had some friends come over to help load up the truck and (as is no surprise to anyone who's ever moved a house before) it pretty much took all evening. A big thanks goes out to Steve Smith, Ed Kist, James Desrosier, Jason Lenakos, Jay Gentry, Ashley Gentry, Joel Hartman, and Allan Abela. We all agree that Ed is a Tetris genius - he managed to fit a 22 ft truck's worth of stuff into a 16 footer, saving us about $600.

This morning C.J. and I headed to Massanutten to unload the majority of our furniture and boxes into the Colavito Mountain House. We were met there by Dad, Kenny, Tony, Nicole, and Chris, who were all a big help with unloading and organizing. Then the items that didn't fit at CMH were driven up to Fairfax. Kenny & Tony took a few items for their apartment, Grandma took a few, and the rest are still in the truck ready to be taken to my parent's house tomorrow morning. The great news is that we don't have to buy any storage! We are so grateful that are families are able to help us out.
