| The first of ten wood crates that will fill our 40 foot container. |
 |
| Crates 4-8 are full! |

| The last of the items to fit in crate #10. |
We knew that moving back to the states was going to be an
interesting process. We had no idea how
difficult the process was going to be until day #4 of packing out when the moving company
informed us that we were not going to fit in our forty foot container. You should have seen my face when John
relayed the message to me. I seriously think I might have shot fire out of my eyes. There was no way we should not have been able
to fit. After ranting and raving for
five minutes John and I finally came to the conclusion we had only one option and that was to
repack.
Poor John had to relay the message to the moving company. I think they were really surprised that John
and I were not willing to pay the overage and would have been totally fine with
them pulling out all 212 boxes and repacking each of them. The moving company did not think that
re-packing sounded like the best option because they magically made it fit
after re-packing just five boxes. John
and I were both relieved to see the end of packing out.
We have no idea how long it will take for our stuff to
arrive in Stanwood. I am guessing 6 to
12 weeks. It will be fun to see all our
stuff back in our house.

Funny... No more money from you, AND they were able to make it all fit. Hmmm....
Yeah, funny the way that worked out with the movers. Glad I checked in before I deleted the blog link. Nice to see you are going to continue it now that you are home. Welcome back!
