Since Matt was working around the clock to finish his dissertation, we flew my Mom in to help me pack up the house. We are so thankful that Mom was able to help pack. There was NO WAY I could have done it all myself.
Here we are taking a rest in front of our ever growing stack of boxes. We are thankful to our friend Rick for all the boxes. Rick worked at Stubbies, a beer bar in downtown Gainesville and every time the bar got new beer he saved the boxes for us. Beer boxes are perfect for packing because they are small, almost all the same size and super sturdy. We are also grateful to Josie for the paper towel boxes and Chauncy for the copy paper boxes. Those boxes were awesome.
Later on that day Matt came home from writing with some Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee for us. It was the perfect treat!
One night during the packing week the Suttons and Merrells joines us at Big Lou's for pizza and live music. We have some great memories of eating dinner here!
We had so many great friends helping us pack up the truck. It was a fun day of moving. Mom even made cappuccinos for everyone.
Matt and I wrapping up our mirrors and pictures for the long haul across the country.
How many men does it take to move this TV? Matt was really hoping that this TV would "accidentally" break on our move and we'd have to get a new one! Unfortunately we still have the big old thing. :)
GO GATORS!!!!! Here is our moving crew with the truck all packed up.
