Tuesday= loading day

I'm still a bit behind schedule, but things are starting to slow down around here.

Continuing on our week...

It was early Tuesday morning when Zach and I woke up to start loading our cars. We strategically packed box after box into our little tin cans. For only being married a month we didn't have too much to pack down...minus my clothes. It seemed like I had clothes for years. My old neighbors gave us these huge police evidence bags to load all of our clothes into. (Thank you Tommy) I filled about eight of them while Zach neatly packed ONE from his whole closet. YIKES.

While in the mix of the packing I also had to say goodbye to my dear dear friends who I've known for what seems like years.

Carlos (aka Pegasus), Aphrodite, and Jimmy 

After we were done loading his dad's truck and trailer, we also filled up my moms van and the trailer she would be pulling. Then we all headed over to Lauren and Hectors, where they were packing down a whole house! In all we packed up three cars, two trucks, two vans, and four trailers. Thank you for all who helped us! We couldn't done it without you. A special thank you to the local doughnut shop and Costco for supplying us with our basic needs.

 Around 6 pm Tuesday night we all caravaned up to Saint George. Except for my Dad and Grandpa who had to wait on Hector's truck to be fixed. They drove up the next day/night and met us at our new place. What a long day they had.

On the way up to Saint George my sister, who happens to have the worst luck when it comes to cars, had a blow out on one of her trailers tire. That put her and grandma back a few hours, and also my mom who so kindly waited with them. In the mean time, Zach and I arrived in Saint George around 1:30 am, my in-laws at 3:30 am, and my sister, grandma, and mom arrived at 5:30 am. No bueno.

At 7:00 am, Wednesday, we were up and at it again...I drove my sleeping beauty (Lauren), and her bearded dragon up in Grandpas HUGE van and Zach followed us in my car. My in-laws also went up with us.

We then arrived and got our keys to the place. It was cleared out for us and ready to go. We quickly unloaded Bill and Wendy's truck and trailer so they could head back to Northern California. (they drove for all night and morning long). Then Lauren, Zach and I unpacked. And that continued for the next two days...
