So, we took a bit of a detour and a little 'working' vacation ;-)
We decided to head out to pick him up on Friday instead of waiting until Monday. So, Friday I started with a couple phone calls to find a u-haul truck available, and then upgraded the size after Bean pointed out the 10' only had two seats! We locked down the boat, packed, and hit the road around 2:30 pm. We planned to surprise him, but gave in about halfway and did a FaceTime session with him instead of just showing up! He was very happy to be able to spend the weekend with us.
We took Saturday to relax and hangout, and then Sunday we went and loaded the truck with everything we had in storage. We also started packing up the general stuff laying around the apartment into boxes/totes so it would be easier to load and cleaning the rooms behind us.
Monday and Tuesday, Bean and I loaded most of the truck while Michael worked. And then Tuesday night Michael helped us load the final heavy stuff, along with our desks and all his work equipment (he took Wednesday and Thursday off for the move). Then we relaxed and hung out for the night. Wednesday morning we loaded up the beds and the TV, did a final sweep/mop/wipe down of the place and turned in our keys. We hit the road around 11:30 ish.
Monday night we also went out for Thai food to celebrate one year of Bean living with us and becoming part of the family!
Once we made it to Hitchcock, we checked in at the apartment, paid the deposit, got the keys and started moving in. We got everything for the apartment off the truck by about 5 pm, so we quickly headed over to the new storage unit so we could unload and return the truck. Easy peasy, very long day with lots of hair on fire moments, and lots of toodling down the road, but it was over, and the move was done! We celebrated the close of our Corpus Christi chapter on Wednesday, March 26, 2023.
Now, we plan to relax and enjoy the end of the week, do a little unpacking, maybe some grocery shopping, and then head back to the boat on Monday to start working again.
