Recap: The Packing

A lot has happened in the past week!  It has all been so fun, exciting, and tiring. 

Lets rewind shall we.  Sunday, Dec 23rd, was official packing day.  Hubs set his alarm for 7:30 .. PM by accident which meant we woke up to Grouper requesting to head outside for a pee break at 8:15 AM!  We wanted to be at the U-Haul place by 9 AM (when they open) so that we could have everything packed up by 1:30 PM which was our last inspection. So between Grouper's break, a coffee run, and breakfast pick-up, we made it U-Haul in DC around 9:15.

And here are the next several hours in pictures!

We finished packing the U-Haul up by 1:00-ish, abot 3 hours of moving furniture and boxes!  I was quite amazed and how quickly we finished up.  Did some minor cleaning (all those Grouper fur-balls) and were ready for inspection at 1:30 PM (to make sure everything still worked and everything remained that was required per contract).  All that was left Sunday night were a few items left to pick-up Wednesday morning, a blow-up mattress, and Grouper's bed. 

Success!
