It was a little gloomy yesterday but still pretty.

Kinja'd!!!

After day one, all the heavy stuff was in the truck.

Kinja'd!!!

Day 2 of putting everything we own in a box truck sucked real bad.

Kinja'd!!!

I think I’m gonna hire a couple workers to unload this beast. The only help I have on this side is my wife’s uncle Skip. I don’t want to be responsible for killing Skip.

The cats are a little neurotic after 8 hours in the cab. Noodles won’t come out of her box.

Levi is hiding next to the toilet.

Kinja'd!!!

And George Lucas is hiding behind the bathroom door.

Kinja'd!!!

Looks like I have the place to myself tonight. Lol

My motorcycle is buried deep in the truck. I might not see it for a couple days.

Congrats on the move! The disdain for packing and moving is why I’m happy my employer will handle it.

Man, every time you post about leaving WV, I get sad, and I never even lived there!

Moving kitties is brutal.  My heart goes out to them. I hope they adjust soon. Congrats on getting there safely.

Thanks. We couldn't buy a house down here without local paystubs. So we had to get an apartment and will be moving again in 10 months. Sounds like you have a good employer

Thanks. I'll miss the mountains, but I'll get over it sitting on the beach. I think it's a fair trade. I'm sure the kitties will be alright in a couple more hours.

Wow, that’s absurd.

The employer is the reason why I have to move, so they kind of have to cover it.

Cats are definitely against moving. When we moved a couple of years ago our cat hid in our closet for a long time. In fact it’s still one of his favorite places to hang out which is why my t-shirts are always covered in orange hair.

All of our heavy stuff is going in a storage unit and won't be too hard to deal with later. With a big dog and 3 cats we didn't have many options. We ended up on the 3rd floor. Not ideal but at least there isn't anyone above us

They’ve been freaking out for a couple days while all their h idings spots disappeared from the old house. They're at least moving a little now.

When we moved into our house, our cats disappeared. We finally found them deep inside a kitchen cabinet.

In the past I’ve used the Uhaul site to hire local labor to pack/unpack my rental trucks. It’s worth it.

Our storage unit is at the u-haul place. My wife told me this morning that not only is that where I turn the truck in, but I can get hourly workers there too.

Skip and I don’t have to have a heart attack.

Yeah!

I was so glad my company paid for my move from Texas to Florida. People packed, people loaded and unloaded, people left. So nice. lol
