We started early after a birthday breakfast of McDonalds (yes, that is really what he wanted!!) – we finished packing the van and cleaning and waited in anticipation for the moving truck. It arrived at 8:45am. Sadly, Jason and I, for whatever reason thought it would be a fairly quick process – WRONG!! They spent an hour alone taking Ben’s bunkbed apart. I am so happy they were doing it and not us. 109 Rubbermaid bins and other assorted loose items later, they finished loading and completing paperwork and after saying goodbye to the house we were finally on the road at 2:35pm. It looks like we should have all our stuff either next Thursday or Friday which they will then unload and assemble. We are one of three families being moved on this trip, two of us going to the Houston area and one going to Austin.
The first leg of our trip had us in Great Falls for the night. We weren’t entirely sure how long it would take at the border. After a grilling by the border guard we went in to import the van and we were done within 15 minutes. The drive to Great Falls was easy and uneventful, punctuated by Loki’s constant meowing. The ONLY time she wasn’t meowing was when the van was stopped. I could say that Juno is handling the drive well but perhaps she’s just paralyzed into a catatonic state of shock? She did come round once we were at the hotel.
