I am not so sure.

We are packing the moving truck today...starting in about 4 hours. YIKES!!! For the past week I have thought, "I am almost done". Yeah right. We have so much stuff, but as Nick would say, I would rather have so much, then nothing. True statement. I have vowed, that the next time we move (hopefully into a home we own) I am including in the price of the house for professional movers to move us. How nice would that be. Leave for a vacation, come home, to a new house, all your stuff is there and yo ujust had to pay a few thousand dollars! (I am somewhat being sarcastic, I cannot handle spending large amounts of money on something I can do myself.)

So I am not so sure that we are going to fit everything into the moving truck. We have rented the 26' truck, the largest they rent, it says it holds a 4-5 bedroom house, we only have 3, but I am no so sure. Mind you we have already taken a truckload and trailer full of boxes and stuff up there. But last night I packed six boxes of food, yes six! I could open a grocery store. (Just for reference, these boxes are not huge, there are about 12"high, 24"long and 20"wide. They work great. Sergio, Sam's boyfriend works in the meat department at Winco, so each day he brings us "chicken boxes", they hold some 80lbs of chicken and they have handles and they stack so nicely.)

So any guesses, will it all fit? We do have some spillover room...the back of my van, Nick's dads truck, the Saturn and Nick's work truck. But still, will we have enough room? I guess we'll see

TO BE CONTINUED...

Well I have been thinking about you all day, I am sure it has gone quite well, I want to call your new phone# at your new house but I keep waiting for what might be a "good time", but I'm not sure there is a "good time" on the day that a family of five moves. It will seem like you will never get settled, but you will...before you know it, I can't wait to come and see you next weekend, so please remember to tell Aidan & Coda that Grandma Diane is coming in 6 days to visit them in their new house, and see their new room and their new playroom and their new yard and their new mailbox...etc...I love you all...mom/grandma diane
