On The Truck

Well that's it, the movers came today to take away all of the stuff we feel we want  with us for the next two years in Singapore.

I have been getting things together and trying to think things through with the limited space we have.
However, when they came with their big truck everything felt ready and right and so the day began at 8:50 a.m. the truck pulled into our driveway.

and they unloaded all of their packing materials, covered our flooring with protectors and set to work.

They brought all of the packing materials and the sound of packing tape permeated our house for the next four hours.  All of the staff was really polite and organized.

Keegan's room went really quick and he was happy to be able to have things like his electric drum set, knife collection, football, scooter and conga drum be able to go in the shipment.

The packer in Caleb's room had many electronics to pack up including his external hard drive, books, clothes, and some well thought out trinkets.

After they pack it into the boxes it is all inventoried to keep track of weight estimate etc.. they did a really good job with labeling the boxes and used LOTS of paper to wrap everything up.

As they were loading the truck we thought man, those three crates look a lot bigger than the back of three SUV's, that is the size we thought we had, the back of three SUV's.  Well as it turns out they brought the wrong shipping containers soooo... they agreed to fill two of them up for us.  This means we got to bring our patio furniture too, what a blessing since we do have a nice big patio at our new apartment. 

As they carried the final box out one of the boys said "oh man, we really are moving" reality is setting in everyday and it is hard to believe we only have a little under three weeks before we get on that plane.  I have been going a bit crazy but hopefully things will settle down a bit since the shipment is done.
