The packers came on Friday, October 10. They made quick work of our place, and packed 60 boxes in just a few hours. They also went through all the boxes that we packed and re-packed some of them. We asked them if they would hire us as packers and they said we would get fired based on our glass packing skill...not so good. This picture is them re-packing our garage.
On Monday, October 13 the movers came. They showed up with an enormous truck that was way too big to get into our complex. They were lucky that our place was so close to the road. Everything we own fit into about 20% of this truck. They started loading the truck from the back, and only filled up to the open door shown in the picture.
The movers where quite impressive...a bit scary, but impressive. This little guy was a mule! He would strap a couple heavy boxes to his back and carry even more...the elders quorum could take a few lessons from these guys.
The movers did a great job protecting our stuff. Eveything was wrapped in blankets, then shrink wrapped.

That was so interesting to see those moving pictures. Especially after helping you pack....oh, yeah, sorry, my most recent experience with packing was when we moved only 10 minutes away so I guess my glass packing skills was lacking!
So crazy to see those pictures of your empty house. You'll be glad you have those pictures! One moving day down... one to go!
I didn't realize you had to paint all your walls--did the buyer requst that? Isn't it a little sad to see your "home" so empty? Exciting about having a new place to make your home and so happy to have you so close--blessings!!!
This is a very sad day for all your friends in Colorado! We will miss you!
