I absolutely HATE moving!!!

Neil and I spent the weekend moving. All last week I worked on packing all the boxes and labeling each and was very careful with everything that I packed. Then we ran out of boxes. So, walmart bags came in handy for kitchen things. Everything that could go wrong when moving happened! I was packing up the kitchen an hour before our friends were coming to help us move, the landlord didn't get our place cleaned up from the previous person, so Neil and I had a late night of cleaning the night before we moved in, when we went to move our stuff in the maintenance man was painting the living room...we had to work around painted walls, we have ants we're still fighting to get rid of, we had to invest in a fly swatter because we let flys in while moving in furniture, the person before us scheduled to turn the power off on Friday which meant we paid an extra fee for them to turn the power back on, do you know that every place in Statesboro charges "transfer fees" to change your address from one place to another (when they don't even do anything, but type your new address into the computer) and Neil and I have too much JUNK! I'm quite jealous that Neil gets to go to work and school, while I have to unpack boxes and clean up. However, I got some great advice from my mother during our whole moving ordeal..."Look on the brightside Kimberly, it couldn't get any worse". Thanks mom for your encouragment! The best part of moving was getting to spend time with Neil's parents who came and helped us move and clean!!! Thanks Daddy Gene and Mama Diann!

I guess I haven't been on your blog in awhile, because there were three posts that I hadn't read - what fun! Sorry your moving ordeal was such a nightmare, but did I read correctly - you now live on Princess Way?? Wow, was that destiny or what?!

KIMBERLY PITTMAN - I mean . . . WILKERSON! I didn't know you had a blog. I haven't checked my yahoo email in about 50 years and when I went to look for an old email today I found your email (that you sent in MARCH) about your blog. I wish I would have known you had this all along! I haven't seen you since umm, you got married - and that's ridiculous. Paul, Mary & I are going to come down to St. Simon's for a little vacation in the next few weeks so we HAVE to get together. Ok - I'm just going to email you instead of put everything on your blog =). Love you!

P.S. We moved last weekend TOO! I totally hear you about the packing/unpacking/cleaning madness. I wish I could wave my magic wand and get rid of it all!
