There are those who say "It takes a village to Fill in the blank here" There are those who VIOLENTYLY and vehemently disagree with the concept.
I personally fall somewhere in the middle of that discussion as I believe in personal responsibility, however, I also believe that "no man is an island" and we must all band together to achieve the best most of the time, but I digress and that is a blog for a whole other time.
This weekend was a time for our little village to assist part of our own to move on to the next step in their achivements in life. Was this a move that they could have made all alone? Probably, they are that strong and capable. Was it easier by virtue of having a crew to help them? Absolutely! Was that crew estatic to help, even though it was not a crew who was liscensed and bonded in the art of moving ones belongings safely and confidently across the country. We sure were!!! Are we a traditional moving company? Not in the least!
We DID however provide the same characteristics as the Relocube advertized by U-Packs company. We deliver the cube, You load it, You lock it, You keep the key, and We deliver it right to your door.
Of course, what trip with this crew would be complete with out a mishap or two to make the tales worthwhile.
But our crew chief made short work of the change and both the trucking crew and our chase crew were now very much awake.
It also gave ME time to wonder about the possiblities of "The Road Less Traveled" and where it was taking my kids. What was going to be in their futures by following their calling ON that road. But again, the answers to that are for a blog for another day, OR, to be told by those on the road. follow their trek
The very first order of business, upon our arrival was to reunite Daddy with the kids. One blonde, blue eyed 2 year old was very excited to see his Daddy after a month of separation, for sure. One little 2 1/2 month old girl told everything with her eyes, as well.
Then, off to seeing the new digs and start loading in!!!!!
Their new front door. |
Everything will have a place........ one of these days.
Biggest first? Then we have more places to stack boxes, right?
I have always believed that if you have a roof, and a bed, you have the beginnings of a home. This was the last of putting the beds together for this young family. Notice that everyone could have a hand in making that happen.
The end result is just a little reminder every morning of why we are here. |
THE DOORWAY TO A WHOLE NEW ADVENTURE!!! |
