adventures in moving

Well, we're all moved out. To say that the past week has been crazy is a bit of an understatement. We had the wedding of dear friends (pictures to follow!) on Friday and then we moved out of our house on Saturday. Ben had been sick on and off all week and finally, his body said "no more!" on Saturday morning. He slept for about 20 hours - didn't move a lick! Sophie woke up that morning with a fever. But I sent her with friends anyways b/c there was no way she was staying home in all that.


Ben slept in our bed until the last load. Then he moved to an air mattress in Sophie's room.

We had so much help. The street was full of cars for people to help. It was the biggest blessing! Thank you to everyone that helped.


We have the most generous people in Charleston. A family is letting us store our stuff for free under their garage. It's down the street from where we are living for the month of June.


We have to take the stuff around the side of the garage and down the hill. It's fine. It's actually wonderful b/c it's free.




We slept on air mattresses Saturday and Sunday night. This was after church on Sunday. Kinda fun! We let Ted pick which room he slept and nap in. So he was always somewhere different. It was fun for him.


Since there was no furniture, we did snuggling on the floor!

On Monday, Ben and I moved the rest of our stuff to storage and then to Derek and Lisa's. That's where we're staying until we leave for Rockbridge in July. Photos to follow of that too! Anyways, Sophie was not thrilled to have us moving. So she laid on the floor (most of the time in the doorway) or stood on the front porch saying "hold you! hold you! hold you!"




And then we left. Our last picture with our house. It wasn't until we actually pulled away from the house on Monday that it was very emotional. Much more than I had imagined.
