Moving Day!

The day before we were to move was a little crazy. I had taken most of the week off to pack and get ready for the move, but still had tons to do by Thursday night. Of course we had to go out to dinner Thursday night (a colonel had come to town and wanted to go out with everyone so...) and so everything wasn't done yet. What really slowed me down was me. Thursday morning I started freaking out a bit. Not about living in a trailer but hitching the trailer to Meric's truck and towing it. Our 5th wheel is big and neither of us had ever done it before so I was getting really nervous.

The morning came, we loaded up my truck with stuff and headed out to the campground. When we got there the spot we were supposed to move onto had over-nighters camping on it and so we had to wait a little while for them to leave. The campground is really busy and a lot of its spots are taken by full-timers and so they have been expanding and creating new spots. We had picked out one of the new spots to live on, but due to water issues the new spots aren't ready yet.

Since we have had the trailer stored out there, we have gone to the campground a few times and have gotten to know some of the people who work there. When we pulled up one of the guys was out there and asked how I was feeling about the move. I told him I was nervous about hitching up and hauling. He told me it was really easy and then he and one of the other workers helped us the whole time. They looked at the hitch Meric got and said it was the best one on the market. They actually both had the same type. As Meric was hitching up, one of the guys was giving me tips on what to do when I am the only one helping. Meric backed up right into the hitch and it locked in like it was nothing. Super easy and nothing to worry about. Then Meric pulled it out and once our spot opened up the guys lead Meric right into place without any issues. (As soon as my kitchen isn't such a mess they will get some cookies!)

 We leveled it and hooked everything up. Then came the hard part, actually moving our things. Right now everything is so cluttered and I am figuring out where I want to put things.

 It seems like every time we go from the house to the trailer we unload tons of boxes and then remember even more stuff we have forgotten at the house. We are both so excited for the time when we are done with moving stuff and done with the house completely. T minus 25 days...
