We always say that we are never moving again, yet here we are.
We planned to move on Friday, June 13 and we had to be in Monument mid-morning to have our official hand over of the keys.
I spent all week packing up the house. We had to finish up the storage room, I packed up the kitchen, pantry, bathrooms, our bedroom, our closet, and all the closets and crannies.
It was non-stop with little time for rest.
Chris took Thursday and Friday off. We went to pick up the moving truck from Ft. Lupton on Thursday around 4 pm and friends came to help load up the truck and trailers around 5 pm.
On Friday, Chris and I were both awake around 3:30 am and decided to get up and finish loading things on the trailer. We had hoped to leave around 8:30 but didn’t actually leave until 9:30.
Good thing we got the early start that we did.
Chris drove the 26’ U-Haul with a trailer attached and I drove the Honda with a trailer attached. My first time driving with a trailer. Turns out leaving a little later helped us to miss the worst of morning traffic. We picked the right lane and drove about 65 mph without too much incident.
