What a relief. None of the moving horror stories I could have avoided (yet read anyway) about PODS during a big move came true for the hubby and I. Everything arrived at our new home as expected. Now, I must admit that my dad is the most precise packer I’ve ever seen so I did learn from the best. And my brother was there the last few days of securing our belongings in tightly (he learned from the best, too). We ended up with a few scrapes on some furniture, but avoided a single broken glass. Pretty amazing I’d say!
The last few days have been unloading, unpacking, cleaning, and organizing. Gotta get off to a good start. I really couldn’t believe how gross everything both in our rental home and all of our goodies from the POD was. I have wiped down, washed and cleaned everything in this house and everything before it’s been put away. That added to the work of unpacking. We are 85% there…I will post photos when I am done. Especially of the kitchen. I am so excited about this kitchen. It’s really all I’ve ever wanted in a kitchen. Tomorrow I get to stock it. Going to Whole Foods as soon as possible. The hubby and I had a deal that once the boxes were out of the kitchen we could do a serious grocery shop. I can’t wait.
Oh – and did I mention we are in wine country?!?! Unbelievable the quality of wine you can get at an amazing price. And it feels oh-so good to be sipping local…..
