We did it! We made the move from Royal Oak, MI to Schaumburg, IL.
We packed everything up, including the most important package.......
We said goodbye to our home for the last 5 1/2 years. Yes, I cried. I didn't mean to but walking around our empty house brought up some unexpected emotions!
We left Sunday morning at 3 am ( hence the pj's) in hopes that our " i hate the car" son would sleep through the trip. He slept for a long time and did better than we could have hoped for! Way to go Makai :) Our " usually car sick" doggy Weston did awesome too, thanks to some anti nausea meds!
Mom and Dad drove the truck....thanks Mom and Dad, you are the best!
The hubby drove the car....
We spent a couple days cleaning and unpacking....It took me a while to clean the place. I can't stand the idea of living in another persons mess. The thought of a strangers bum on my toilet gives me the willies!
Everyone went to the hardware store while this Mommy stayed home and cleaned ( remember, me no likey strangers bums)....they said Makai loved this car so much he cried when they took him out!
We also took a trip ( around the corner) to legoland but the thought of spending $19 a person sent us running out the door to have our picture taken with the giraffe :)
4 days later, it was time for Mom and Dad to head back to Michigan. So we decided to have a little fun in Chicago before we said goodbye.
Did I mention I cried after we dropped them off at the train station?! Seriously, no one tells you just how emotional and stressful moving can be!
You can ship him to G's house.
