Moving Days

The moving company that Colt's new job provided came to pack and pick up all of our things on the morning of May 22nd. I'm glad it was a moving company that did everything and not us! They started packing and loading us on the 22nd, finished loading on the 23rd and delivered everything to the new house in Tyler on the 24th. Colt wasn't there our last morning so Kinley and I had to say goodbye to our house on our own. It was definitely a little bittersweet. It was a good house the three years that we were there.

When we left the house, Kinley and I went to Meg's for a late breakfast and had our last Meg's pancakes before we left town. We went to China Springs and stayed the night with Matt and Whitney on the 22nd. Colt met us there when he got off work. That night we went to Waco and ate at On the Border. I think Witten was a little jealous of Kinley eating food. 

We headed from there to Forney to stay with Colt's parents the night of the 23rd since all of our things weren't going to be in Tyler until the next day. While Kinley was napping on the 23rd and Colt's parents were there to watch her, Colt and I went furniture shopping. We did a lot of furniture shopping in May. We went to Weir's in Dallas and ended up deciding on our living room couch. We had to order exactly what we wanted so it ended up not getting delivered until after we'd already been in Tyler for a while. We ended up going with this couch but in a sectional. We also ordered a coffee table from there too.

This was Lucky in Forney. He was already wore out from the move. 

My parents came to Tyler on the 24th and were there when the movers unloaded. My mom helped unpack boxes and tried to help keep Kinley out of the movers way. 

This was Kinley with her Giggy and Pa on May 25th after we grabbed lunch at Clear Springs before they headed back home. She's a fan of having them closer now that we are in Tyler. 

And just because I'm sentimental...here's a couple of last pictures of our house in Temple. Colt had to spend some time there after our stuff was moved out to tidy up a few things before we sold it to the new owners in June. He also had to let painters in because the new owners had the whole house repainted white...white walls with white trim. I didn't ever get to see it, but Colt said it looked like the house was primed and ready to be painted. Maybe it looks better than he described.

When moving, the way to go is definitely having movers not only move you but pack up the boxes too!
