We ended up with so much help in moving. Thanks to so many family and friends and neighbors there to help. We had the whole truck packed up with in just over an hour. It was pretty amazing! Clint was able to stick around for one more day and we got things painted and more cleaned up. Then he left Sunday morning and took Curran with him. Which meant that I was with out my little buddy for 2 weeks. I felt like my little side kick was missing and it was sad, but at the same time was kind of nice not having to worry about him because I was so busy. The day clint left I felt like I was doing pretty good, but then that night I got pictures from my sister in law abi of the moving truck arriving in California and oh my gosh that hit me so hard. That's when it hit me that my entire life was packed up in a truck and over 700 miles away from me and reality set in and it was hard to grasp. I'm so glad she sent me those pictures because I feel like it helped me have a little closure.
That next week after the truck left, Callie, Conrad and I sat on the floor, and slept on the floor and had nothing in the house for a week...It was quite the adventure.
With renting out our house I wanted to try and make the house looking nice so that when the new tenants showed up I was hoping that if it was nice when they got there they would treat the house with more respect. The day I moved out, I was just cleaning up my garage when my agent showed up and said I had 45 minutes before the new people were going to show up...I was like CRAP...So I hurried and finished, ran to get my kids so that they could come back and say good bye to the house. As I was less than a mile from the house he called me and told me they already showed up to my house...I was devestated!!! I didn't get to say one last good bye. The thing that sucks was that I left food in the fridge, stuff in the cupboard, and my mail, and I couldn't even stop to grab it all. I'm over it now, but I was bitter for a bit.
I think when you go through hard times it only shows you what you are truly made of.
