We made it! People say moving is stressful. People are right.
We were very fortunate to get our move paid for by Eric’s company. They paid for movers, who also pack for you! Score! We were amazed with the great job they did! They arrived on Thursday morning at 8am. 3 men.
They did a quick walk-through and got to work. They laid down carpet and cardboard on all the floor and run-ways and padded the corners on walls.
And then they started packing. They packed up everything! Every dish, glass, utensil, shoe etc.
The living room
The kitchen
The dining room
By Friday late morning, these 3 men had our entire house packed and loaded onto the truck.
On Friday afternoon, Eric and I had all our personal items loaded into our car and we took our final picture in front of our house.
It was so hard for us to leave. We got engaged in front of that house. And as much as we knew we were making the right decision, it was still emotional.
We left and went to my mom’s house. We had dinner with our closest friends and family that night and had lots of hugs and tears.
We knew moving would be hard on us and that we’d miss all our friends. We really weren’t prepared for how hard it would be on our friends.
It was hard and we cried many times in those last few days.
On Saturday the 19th we hit the road for the start of our 3 day road trip.
We missed the Oklahoma signs 
We arrived Monday afternoon at the same time our movers arrived. Perfect!
They loaded most our things into storage and the remainder went into my IL’s basement, which will be our “home” until we find a house. We are waiting until Spring to move.
So far things have been good. Eric and I transferred with our jobs, so we both start on Monday.
Things are very different, but hopefully this change will be bring great things our way!
good luck! i’m glad everything went well
