Loading the Van:
I wish I had pictures to share how the movers moved. I don't think SLOW can be pictured. I had to leave several times while this experience was occuring. I happened to be up (and I mean vertically UP) the street visiting my neighbor, watching the movers pack the truck. Out they came with my computer desk. I am not sure at what geometrical point they hit walking on the downslope of our driveway - but in full view I saw the desk break into many pieces while a variety of exclamations spewed from their mouths. It was a good thing I wasn't fond of that piece any longer!
Unloading the Van:
I received a report from my sister-in-law in Texas about my 2 sister-in-laws in Utah that took charge and distributed my boxes to the nethermost regions of my new abode AND unboxed many other boxes to help make our new home functional - and this I am most grateful for. I owe them BIG TIME!!! And from that report, it was a good thing I wasn't around when the movers were unloading.
Questions - Can anything good come from using a moving company? Will I ever again live in the same house longer than 7 years (but more like 2 years)? Will I ever get to the point that I can leave everything behind (like you suggested Pat!)? How many more moves do I have left?
So how...what do Movers make me...after 17 moves..
GRATEFUL that it is their backs not mine, despite their speed or personal natures!!!

so did they have to pay for the desk? that would've been awesome since you didn't like it anyway :)
hope you had a blast with adrienne and holding my new baby (hehehe). she's better in person than on a computer I'll bet. :)
love you
Man, I have always thought that we would have made it in life on the day we could afford some movers...we have done it ourselves so many times that I lost count.
now, you have me worried.
GRANDMA - WHERE ARE PIC'S OF BABY EDEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SHOWING OFF YOUR LATEST
Oh wow... what a pain! I would have kicked those movers in the hiney! :) Hopefully they paid for whatever they broke! I'm not sure I would ever want to hire a mover after hearing several stories like this. Ugh. But I hope you're settling in all right!
