After a crazy week of packing up boxes it was time to move from my Missouri residence of near four years and head northeast to my new home in Iowa. I don't consider my self a collector or a pack rat, yet it is amazing home much stuff you can collect over the years.
And therefore the most logical way for a farm girl to move is a truck and livestock trailer.
The Boy brought down the stock trailer on Thursday night, and left it parked on our residential street through Sunday while we were getting engagement pictures done and spending some time at The American Royal. I am not sure what our neighbors thought. In a way they should be used to it. My roommate Robin parent's often laid over at our house with seed tenders and other farm equipment in tow.
It all fit, with plenty of room to spare. I was lucky that the Boy decided that he would at least pressure wash the stock trailer out and lay some tarps down before we loaded everything.
It was a little surreal arriving at our new home last night. I still had my trusty red suitcase, but it finally dawned on me that this time I could actually unpack it. Although, at this time I have no idea where I am going to put my stuff! Wish us luck with the merging of two closets.
Every move I've ever made or been involved in has included a stock trailer. Congratulations on the move and the new chapter! :)
ReplyDeleteAlways. Good luck and God bless. ♥
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the unpacking! You think you have a lot now...just wait, after only 2.5 years of marriage the move we just made was OOC=out of control! So much stuff in so little time!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! So excited for you two. Have fun getting settled and keep us posted. Loved the cattle trailer pics...must have been a feeling of mixed emotions and excitement.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! It is going to be so nice to be under one roof instead of 5 hours apart!
ReplyDeleteI've moved more than once with my dad's horse trailer! Same way, at least we washed it out this time. The last time I moved we used my husbands stock trailer. It's the only way to do things! why waste money with a U-Haul... LOL
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! We're two weeks from our moving day and I'm overwhelmed by all there is to do. SImilar to you, we've been living apart since he started his new job. I'm so excited to live under the same roof again! Moving is hard, but I'm keeping my eye on the prize: our new home. Hope all continues to go well for you!
