Move # 2 - Dunstan's Landing to Storage

I think we were a little crazy to even think about moving out of the apartment the day after the wedding, but we did it! We woke up Sunday morning, went to church and then met up with family for breakfast. Afterwards we went to Mike's apartment to 1. clean up from the girls getting ready, 2. pack up what was left lying around, 3. load up the truck and 4. ship it all to storage.
Thankfully, Mike's mom was able to stop by and pack up all of the refrigerated items. My mom and grandmother helped me with packing up the leftover things. Mike along with his brothers, sisters, my brother, and his dad were able to work on loading the truck and making sure that it would all fit! It probably took about 3-4 hours to load it all. Then after my family headed home, Mike's family went to storage to unload everything. Kelly was a huge help with stacking and organizing things, so that it would all fit from the truck into storage. It was a close call!
While they organized the storage unit I stayed behind to clean and vacuum the apartment. I even had time to take a little nap on the not so comfortable floor. When they returned an hour later, we packed up what was left into the cars. Phil and Jane went in one car, because they were headed towards Boston. Then the other five of us and Sage crammed into Mike's car to drive to his parents house in Littleton, MA.
Once we arrived we had a lovely dinner, opened a few gifts, organized our luggage for the honeymoon and then went to bed!!! Unfortunately, after the wedding my camera decided to stop working, so I do not have any photos of the moving preparations. But, I was able to snap a few when we got back and started to unload it for move # 3 - into the house!
Thank you to everyone who helped! We could not have done it without you!
