Moving Update

Just wanted to quickly say that the move is going well despite a few rather large problems...

Some of those problems included:

•My love and I were sick with a severe cold. There was no time to rest this weekend, and I'm almost sure that is why we are still sick.

•No moving truck on moving day. This has been the first negative experience I've had with U-haul. We made our reservation for a 14' truck through their website and confirmed over the phone that the truck was guarenteed for that time/day. We went to pick it up, and guess what... no truck. They didn't have any smaller one's either. They wanted us to rent a 27' truck! The thing was a monster and most definately would not fit in the parking lot of the apartments. It's a great thing to have friends with trucks, we all worked together and got it done.

The only good thing that may come from U-haul this time would be $50 for not having a truck that they guarenteed to us. That probably won't come easy though as we will probably have to call the corporate office and complain. They claim they have the right to upgrade our reservation... we'll see about that. What good are reservations and guarentees for, if that location doesn't honor them.

•The garage we agreed to wasn't available (we are using that space as storage and for a place to put our deep freeze). We had the apartment for 2 days before they figured out what they were going to do about it and then we had to go through the hassle of having them program our gate openers with the garage door.

Hopefully tonight I will be able to get quite a few boxes out into the garage where they belong.

Those were only a few of the problems we had, but those were the ones that threw our schedule off completely.

Even though we had some problems, I still love our new home, and our friends dearly for helping all they could. I may or may not post a few pictures, it just depends on how fast things get unpacked.


Also, the cable and internet has not been installed yet. So I have no way of blogging, and checking email in the evening. The giveaway will still run as scheduled. Normal blogging should return next week.
