I guess we have to start somewhere. In order to make this move and huge (and very happy) change in our lives, we have to sell our house. It went on the market and we accepted an offer in just 4 days. Not so fast! The buyer's financing was denied with about 10 days left to go until our closing date of June 17th. By this time we'd already signed a lease on a rental in Statesboro, GA.
Back to the beginning we go. The buyers are still trying to salvage the deal, so stay tuned. As of today, June 18th, there appears to be hope, but we are being cautious and not getting our hopes too high. In the meantime, the house is back on the active market and we're rolling with whatever happens as it is out of our control.
Tuesday was truck packing day. Turns out it was a two-truck (also known as "Tu-Pack") packing day. We hired pros to help us pack the truck and when they couldn't get even a sheet of paper wedged in any further, we looked at the remaining pile and knew we were doomed to renting a second truck. Not part of the original plan. So now I am driving the big truck (27 footer) and towing Robert's car, Neta is driving a 15 foot truck, Emily is driving her own car and Robert is driving Neta's car.
We are enjoying a bit of a break visiting my mother, relaxing in the pool, recharging our batteries and making a quick (long-promised) trip to NYC before heading south. We hope the unpackers that we hired on the GA end are just as efficient and personable as the ones we had in Virginia.
