Moving, Part 4
October 15th, 2007 | by Scott |Well, we are in the home stretch. One week from today we will load up the moving truck and head to Poncaville.
We will be moving ourselves this time around as we got a sweet deal on a truck that we just couldn’t pass up. I’ve never driven a 24 foot truck but how hard can it be, right? I just hope we can get everything on it.
We got a great deal on boxes as well. And environmentally friendly, too.
We have set up our utilities except for electric and satellite. We have to do electric when we get there and once we contact Dish to move us we will lose our local channels. It seems that once we give them the address we are moving to we will be listed in a different area. So I have to wait until next Monday to call them or no local shows for a week.
We had a good garage sale this weekend. Actually, Tracy did. She was the mastermind and did a fantastic job.
Now comes the part I hate the most about moving: packing. I hate the way cardboard feels. I’m scared of the tape gun. I never know where to start and it always seems like things are multiplying.
I’m just ready to get there and get to work.

You’ll have a new appreciation for truckers when you see how people treat you in that truck! We need to have a yard sale … can I borrow Tracy for a weekend? I’m thinking we’ll just box our stuff up and take it to the Goodwill center and let them sell it. Hope the move goes well.

Greg, Tracy will do it. For a fee, of course.

Scott, glad to see you taking an interest in packing. I know you were waiting for me to do it for you but you will never learn how any younger. Will try to see you all in Ponca City soon.

Dad, I haven’t taken an interest in packing. I’m still loathing it.
The girls are really upset that you aren’t coming to help. We just told them that papa doesn’t love them any more.

I talked my husband into managing one yard sale. ONE because after than experience he’ll never do it again. He had never been in charge of one before - thought it sounded like a good idea until then. hahaha I absolutely HATE moving! We moved three times the first year and a half of our marriage - when we finally bought a house, we stayed. I’ve lived in the same house since November 1978.
