A brief update...

Well, it is Saturday night and we are officially exhausted!

Overall the move went fabulous! The packing men did a fine job, they were gone by noon on Wednesday. They sort of crapped on the moving men as they left 3/4 of the POD untouched because they ran out of room in the garage to put things in order to sift through the POD, so the moving guys were stuck with some unfinished business. But you would never have known. The moving men (Jeff and Tim) were awesome. Very prompt (they were there by 8am on Thursday and 730am Friday), hard workers (you should have seen these guys carrying huge items up and down stairs strapped to their backs, very crazy), nice/humerous/considerate men! They were absolutely great to work with. They had all our stuff packed up in the truck by 1215pm on Thursday, and were done unpacking everything by noon on Friday.

We spent Friday afternoon and evening getting the bedrooms semi-ready so that they could be slept in and what not. We had Time Warner Cable, the movers, and American all here at the same time around 11am installing cable/phone/internet, delivering appliances, and unloading a truck. It was a bit chaotic and cold. We had the doors open all morning while they were moving the stuff in, so it got a bit frigid in here. Cable went smoothly, can't say the same for the appliances. They damaged our refrigerator when they used the fort lift to move it, but still delivered it for some reason, so we are currently using a damaged refrigerator that they can't replace until Thursday! Not so happy with that!

My mom and Bill were here on Friday to help watch Rowan while we directed all the people around our house. They spent the night and left before lunch today. Ed, Sue and Dusty came up late this morning to help with some other things like mounting the television, hanging blinds, finishing kitchen un-packing, among many other things. Karen and Doug stopped in this morning on their way up to visit Grandma and Grandpa Blodgett and deliver our pooch! Gizmo stayed with them the last few days to accomodate the moving process, and he joined us this morning, thanks to Karen and Doug!

My mom and I made a trip to WalMart last night to get some food and other things we needed. Ed only had to make 2 trips to Menards in the last 2 days surprisingly! We learned where several eating places are here in Neenah in the last few days, and have much more to learn in the days/weeks/months to come!

Sorry that wasn't exactly a play by play of the move, but we are here and 90% unpacked, there will be photos and more updates to come in the next week. But I am too tired to deal with transferring pictures tonight, and I have to work tomorrow night, so my first commute to St. Joe's! Stay tuned....
