The ABCs of Moving Into a New House

A is for antique store that won't get my business again. Why? Because they couldn't find Crosby on google maps to deliver my chairs, forcing B and I to stop everything and go pick them up ourselves.

B is for Budget Rent Truck. Honestly, they weren't the best because we had to wait over an hour for the truck. Guess they were cheaper than Uhaul for a reason...

C is for couch, which almost fell down the stairs and killed T and S'port guy Tuba. It was truly frightening

D is for Dad, who put up with our moving shenanigans and arguments. Thanks Dad!

E is for extra effort. Yeah, I didn't put forth extra effort. Everyone else did.

F is for friends who came to the rescue and helped us move! Thanks to S'port guy Tuba, Lil' Brudder, B, Sis'n'law M, Bro'n'law A, and T's BFFs Big H and Lil H.

G is for gas and the many gallons we had to buy for the move :(

H is for heat. At least we didn't move in July or August, right?

I is for irritating pool party that the apartment complex held while we were moving. I guess we could have stood on our balcony and flashed everyone like it was Mardi Gras or something. Too loud, you whippersnappers!

J is for 'just kidding, I want that *points at the big piece of furniture* upstairs'

K is for kitchen organization - thanks Lil' Brudder and Mom!

L is for laundry I forgot to do :(

M is for money - geez it is expensive to move!

N is for new couch! It is glorious (and not the previously mentioned one that nearly killed people...that's the ugly Al Borland couch that I'd rather just burn)

O is for omg are we done yet???

P is for packing...lots and lots of packing...

Q is for quick sonic run that went something like this:

Me, leaning over B who was driving: I need a #7 with Sweet Tea and Fries...a Kid's Pack with a hot dog, just mustard on the hot dog, apple slices, and a Dr. Pepper...an order of mozzarella sticks...a regular size watermelon cream slush...a Route 44 Coke...a Route 44 cherry lime-ade...a Route 44 Sweet Tea...
Sonic Worker on the Speaker: Will that be all?
Me: God I hope so...
Sonic Worker proceeds to rattle off the entire order and then says: Is that all correct and do you need anything else?
Me: Ummmm and....Two Bananas
B and I proceed to giggle for ten minutes...pretty sure they thought we were high.

R is for running out of bubble wrap a few times.

S is for sister...as in, I have the best sister ever cause she designed everything for me.

T is for tired. Enough said.

U is for umbrella...as in, ha we didn't need one!

V is for very grateful to be done with moving

W is for watering the yard everyday kinda sucks

X is being skipped cause I'm ready to wrap this up.

Y is for yay I'm a homeowner!

Z is for zzzzzzzzzs that I need to catch up on this week.

Ok, that's our move in a long nutshell. I'm too tired to be more witty. Tell me about your moving horror stories.
