Matt and I had managed to load the rental truck with all our belongings on Wednesday. It took a lot of time and energy, but we managed with just the two of us :)
Thursday morning we said goodbye to our first home together. I'm not ashamed to admit that we both had some tears as the realization hit that we were leaving a place with a lot of memories (both good and bad). I can't speak for Matt, but I felt comforted knowing that we were leaving together to continue our journey together.
We managed to leave pretty much on time that morning. We had rented a car dolly so that we could tow my car to Cleveland. That meant that Matt would be doing all the driving. It was a 13 hour drive but he managed to knock it out safely in one day.
Our two travel companions. They were great!
For those of you who don't already know, my new year resolution is to adhere to a low carb diet (PCOS) and an important part of that is that I am going to have NO alcohol for the year.......... sigh! My mother-in-law had kindly gotten us some boxes from the local grocery store. More specifically they were from the LIQUOR DEPARTMENT! So today, when I would normally have been looking forward to a nice glass of wine at the end of the tough unloading I had to carry wine box after wine box, all with wonderful quotes as to how great drinking wine is!!!! But I have stuck to my guns!!
The low carb eating however has been harder to stick to these past 2 days. On the road we were limited to fast food. Today we haven't been able to easily locate cooking utensils or space to cook in.
So after all the truck was unloaded we ordered pizza.
Tomorrow will be better and I should also be able to go for a good grocery shop.
I did manage to put together the living room so that Matt could play his new Zelda came tonight. He 100% deserves some time to relax after doing all the driving!!!
I hate moving. Best of luck to you both.
