Move Almost Completed

Although 90% of our belongings, or what was left of our belongings after downsizing, we still have some stuff left at our place on the Outer Banks. Yesterday we brought up 2 car loads of stuff and late last night we had got one car emptied and its contents put away where they belong. Today we will tackle the other car. We will be going back to our place on the OBX on Wed evening after dinner. Since Veronica's start date at her new store in the Virginia Beach area isn't until approximately the end of July we will have plenty of time to bring the remainder of our stuff up in weekly trips to our new home.
There are just a few piles of things in each room with the majority of items coming from our master bathroom. We have an inflatable bed set up in our old place along with our TV. It sure does look different with almost everything out of the old place.
I will also need to start cleaning up the place so that we can get our deposit back. I will probably move everything into one room so that I can work on the other rooms during the cleanup process.
On another note...Veronica and I will be celebrating our 18th Anniversary on the 28th of this month.
She is the love of my life and I could not have wished for a better person to share this journey through life with. A little early I know but Happy Anniversary honey!!!

Update On Our Move

On Monday, 6/15 our movers arrived and packed up their truck with most of our belongings. By the time their truck was unloaded it was about 6 -6:30PM and had been a very long day. During the last 2 days since our move we have been super busy unpacking and getting everything where it belongs or at least where we could fit it in. Even though we had downsized approximately 50-60% we still had to be creative in eking out every bit of space that we can in order to get our belongings to fit. After 2 solid days of working at it we are about 80% done. We have not permanently moved to Virginia Beach quite yet as Veronica still has until the end of July to still be working in her Outer Banks of NC store. We will still be driving back and forth from our old place to our new location until her start date in her new store. Our lease is not up on our old place until the end of August, so we will need to go back and do the normal cleanup so that we get our deposit back. We still have some belongings at our old place in which we will be bringing them up a little at a time on each trip we return to Virginia Beach. To day was the first day that we really feel that we have made solid progress in making this our new home. It will take about 2 more days to finally finish putting everything up where we want it. I will be so glad when this part of our new chapter is completed. My back and body has really taken a beating over the last 4-6 weeks and I really could use a break to let my body recuperate. Unfortunately that will have to wait just a little longer.
