Yesterday was the day we moved everything out of my condo and brought it over to Langley. It was quite the ordeal; when we reserved our truck, we were told my Uhaul that they would call us by 5pm the day we needed the truck to tell us where to pick it up. I never thought that we would pick up the truck anywhere other than Victoria. My mistake! We had to drive to Duncan to pick up the truck. For those not from the island, Duncan is about a 45 minute drive from Victoria. On the flip side, we were able to pick it up on Sunday instead of Sunday like we had planned.
Everyone who has ever moved knows that packing always ends up taking more time and effort than originally thought. The same was true this weekend, and without the help of some great people, the packing, moving and loading wouldn't have happened. So a special shout-out to Denise Mason, Jacqueline Quesnel and her man, Derrick, Lisa Freeman (for packing AND offering to clean my place after we left)and Lindsay Raines, who were cheerful and so very helpful. Also deserving a honourable mention is Gareth Gaudin (of Perogy cat fame, check out Legend Comics on Johnson St) for supplying me with the best boxes EVER to pack with.
It was a good thing we got the truck when we did, otherwise we would have never made it over to Langley in time to get our stuff unloaded into our storage locker and return the truck in time. I have to say that Chris was amazing this weekend. He did most of the loading and unloading himself...what a man!
So now I have left my condo empty, and Chris's is full of boxes and miscellaneous stuff that I should be unpacking and putting away. I'll say goodbye for now!
