Today is moving day!!!! .... I should take the opportunity to clarify the need for movers after we sold basically everything we owned. It was the middle of July during the hottest summer on record for our area. Several days in a row of 110 degrees and this day was no different. Even though we were rid of a lot, we still had enough to make the move miserable in the heat. Travis and I have moved several times together in the past, just the two of us, and are completely capable of getting the job done. We have never used a moving company so, given the heat, I thought it would be a nice gesture to treat my husband to letting someone else do the tough stuff ... Ha!
We couldn't sleep the night before we were so excited!! The day we had waited for was finally here and we were officially moving on ..... Yay!! The movers were scheduled to arrive at the house at 9:00 am so we were up by 6:00 taking care of last minute stuff ... anxiously awaiting the truck to pull in the drive and haul us away. The movers arrival time came and went. It was approaching 10:00 and no word from them so I called to check on the situation. And that was the moment happy moving day turned into horrible, horrible, we will never use a moving company again day!!!!!
The short version of the very long story. The movers were having issues with both the truck and the completion of the move that was supposed to be completed the previous day. They would be there shortly and send extra help to expedite the move. We continued to wait. No movers after lunch. Called again. Same story. Be there shortly. Called back at 5:00 that evening. Finally on their way to our house with all the help they had and would have us completely moved within 3 hours ..... 7 grueling hours later we were finally moved. Not necessarily speaking or happy but moved. I better eat my Wheaties between now and when we move into the house because I have been warned that there will never again be movers. Ugh!!
