Professional Movers

I don't think there is anyway I can go back to the person I was Thursday night.

Since we are going to Missouri for a few months before we move on to our final base we needed to have the Army move us so they could keep our stuff in one of their storage facilities rather than us going to MO then trying to come back and move all our stuff. In the past the only way we have moved is on our own. We take care of everything, with help from friends and family of course. Yet no matter how many people are there to help us I am still busy doing everything that has to be done right beside them. I'm almost always the last person out of the house after making sure that everything has been picked up and adequately cleaned.

The point of all that being that that is how I used to be - on moving day I work my backside off trying to take care of the kids, organize anybody helping out and taking care of packing something as well. Busy, chaotic and a tiring. And until last Thursday night I just thought that that is just how life is. Then came Friday morning. The movers showed up and in approximately 50 min. had packed up everything we had at my parents house and were ready to move on to the storage unit. It took them a little longer because there was tons more stuff and they had to unpack and then repack it all but it was still done really fast. Less than five hours after showing up they were done - I was done. I said goodbye to my belongings not to be seen for another five months and breathed a huge sigh of relief. It was amazing. I don't think that I will ever be able to move myself again. Granted at first I felt a little awkward just standing around telling others what to do and not doing a thing myself but that is the way it had to be - I wasn't allowed to pack a box or go near the truck. It might take a little getting used to but I'm sure it won't take me too long.
