We picked up a 24' U-Haul truck yesterday afternoon and started shifting the boxes we had already packed into it. We needed to see just how much stuff there was still to pack.

 We started in this morning on our bedroom. Took apart the bed frame, put the mattress in plastic and moved everything out into the truck. Then we moved on to the spare bedroom and gave it the same treatment. We finished up tonight by getting most of the remaining stuff out of the kitchen (including the refrigerator), the dining room and the living room, including several of the TVs and the stereo equipment loaded onto the truck. That will leave the computers and desks for tomorrow, the sideboard, the washer/dryer and some of my sewing stuff in the house. And the stuff in Bryan's room has yet to be moved. 

We go tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. for our final walk through on the house and to go closing to sign papers at 11:00 a.m. The sellers are leaving their dogs in the back yard for the closing. That's fine with us - I hate it when people leave animals in cars! So we're going to go to lunch after the closing to give them time to collect their dogs. Then we start the reverse process of taking all that stuff back off the truck and into the house. We'll get as much unloaded as possible and sometime in the evening come back to Beavercreek to pick up our animals. The cable folks are supposed to be out Saturday morning sometime, so Bryan plans to bring the (hopefully) empty U-Haul back up here and start in on his stuff in the garage. Once the cable folks are done, then I'll drive up here and help. What a fun couple of days!!
