home sweet home

We hired a moving company to help us move. Much better than driving a U-Haul. Especially since we would have needed the largest size they rent and I wouldn't trust myself driving one of those. That would leave Joe driving from Utah to Florida on his own with an ornery wife and 8 year old daughter trying to sleep in the front of a lousy U-Haul truck across the country.

Still, we seem to have hired the wrong moving company, as they still have our stuff in a storage unit in Las Vegas. They were supposed to load our stuff onto a bigger truck with other people's stuff the day that we left. This is fantastic. Eliza asks when her stuff will come (because she insists she is bored out of her mind even with the beach and the pool and the zoo and...) At least Eliza's air-mattress is in the proper location of her bedroom. We finally finished painting her room. She chose all of the colors and the pattern herself. She helped through the whole process- from taping up the room to throwing out the plastic trays. She's so excited for school to start so she can plan a slumber party in her cool new room with friends. You should check it out. I'm not posting the pictures on my blog since she has already done that on her own.
