Moving Day!

We were recently given some furniture. Since our apartment is furnished we didn't have a place for it, but said yes, because it would be needed (and very likely in the not-too-distant future). We received help from my mom and some very kind friends...

Apparently, Cliff is the man to have around! He knows how to pack a truck bed and keep your glass table-top perfectly safe from bumps and potholes. He engineered the get-up below, which worked very nicely!


My brother Josh was kind enough to let us borrow his diesel truck. Although it took a little getting used to, Chris decided on our trip up to NoVA that he really liked it... A LoT.


We stopped at home on our way up and got lunch. I decided we should get a picture of the truck all packed up, so that's what you see below. As it started sprinkling during our stop-off, we decided to not risk the 60% chance of rain and Chris rigged the bed with our tarp. The tarp and the wind battled and the wind won... about 5 miles into our trip. Luckily, we didn't run into any heavy rains, just a couple sprinkles here and there.


**Please note: Chris did a great job of securing the tarp, but because it was a windy day and we were on the interstate, the tarp (not the highest quality) actually ripped... thus we drove without it.
