The morning the movers came, I had a glass of juice and a plate with my breakfast on it. Later I went to wash it and couldn't find it, so I thought my mom must have washed it and they packed it. A month later, when I finally got around to one of the boxes, what did I find?? Yes, a glass with a bit of dried juice in the bottom and a plate with dried-out ketchup (from my hashbrowns) and bread crumbs (from my toast) on it!!!!!!

ROTFLMAO!!! OMG!! NOW THAT IS QUITE AN INTRODUCTION TO MILITARY LIFE!!!

When we moved back to the mainland from Hawaii the mover came at 5pm..on a Friday night.. no kidding waited all day for the buggers.. Well they happened to be the best movers we ever had, they were Samoan fellas.. big and strong! They emptied out our 3 bedroom townhouse in 2 hours flat (it was boxed the day before). When our furniture arrived in 29 Palms... somehow we ended up having a couch with no cushions, a dining room table with no legs, a bed with no mattress-but the boxspring was there... ended up somehow some of our stuff got sent to Travis Air Base in Northern Ca....

We lived with the no cost Military rental furniture kit too.. Oh that stuff is so dang ugly! I know ours was from the 50's at least... but the kitchen utensils sure came handy while we waited 2 months in Hawaii for our stuff to be delivered...

Well, we survived day #1! Most of my house is packed up now, there are boxes everywhere. They were nice enough to leave our beds, TV and dining table until tomorrow, which is nice.

The movers arrived at 10:30, there were five of them, but the funny thing was one of them was the truck driver and he didn't do a thing all day. He slept in the morning and talked all afternoon, apparently he is only contracted to drive and do nothing else. The other four guys were fabulous, they packed carefully and quickly. I made them lunch, they took a half hour break for that and maybe two other 10 minute breaks and were gone at 5:00. Tomorrow is day two and I hope all goes as well as it did today. BTW, the weather was great, a little warm, but no rain.

Thanks again for your warm wishes!

I hope that the rest of the packing goes as well for you, and that you have a very smooth move.

We are done and my house is virtually empty....what a relief it is to have this behind us. Now I just have to count down until I fly....woo hoo hoo!!!
