Move update

Things are starting to come along.

My car is getting cleaned to be shipped right now.  Tomorrow we will drop it off to ship to our new town.  How exciting!  Now we just pray it will get there early so we're not with a rental for too long.

We have our household goods pickup scheduled.  In 2 weeks our home will be empty of all our things except the items we hand carry or mail.

Things we need to do:

I have to finish getting our 'fast shipment' stuff together.  This pickup will be first.

I also have to go through all of our electronics and write down the serial numbers.  Take videos of the items in working order.

Bring suitcases up next week to pack what we will need for 2 months

Empty out a room and put the stuff that is staying with us in there so the movers don't "accidentally pack them"

Put high value items (crystals) in one area, take pictures.

Buy another pack-n-play.  I think we're going to have the kids play in these on moving day.  That way they're not in the way and they are safe.

Finish shredding.  I've got one bag filled up of shredded documents!  Many many more to go though.

Call vet clinic to have Hawkeye scheduled for his move exam

Ship Nicks car

...and so much more

On moving day...put important stuff in the vehicle locked up.

It's sad, but there has been a high theft result of moves.  The movers/packers have been stealing belongings of others.  We're hoping not to be victims.  I think the problem is the moving company sends in 6-8 members to pack up a house.  There's usually only the husband and wife watching all the packers pack.  So, some packers could be in one room and really you can't be in every room watching.  I'm hoping since we have such a small space, one of us can be up front and the other can be in the back.  Then when they go to the basement to get the items in storage, one will follow.  I'm just going to let them know that the basement will either be packed last or first because we're not going to have people down there and us up here.  Hello theft reason!  It's my stuff and I want to see it go in the box, not their pockets.

We're still waiting on our port call date (flights).  We're beginning to think that the hold up is the dog.  Flying with pets is challenging.  Hawkeye can't fly if the temperature is above 75 degrees.  We're flying in the summer.  It most likely will be above 75.  Coming here we flew at night, so temps are lower.  Going back we fly during the late morning, early afternoon.  Temps are higher.  I'm going to doubt that he's going to be on the same flight as us.  Not sure what we are going to do if that's the case.

I dropped off a bunch of stuff at the thrift shop last night.  I wanted to take the stuff to the Airman's attic, because then it's free for enlisted members.  But they were closed and yesterday was the last day i had my vehicle to load the stuff and drop it off.  Hopefully the thrift shop will sell the stuff reasonably.

I think that it's for now, 

have a great day!
