Moving day from hell

So the movers we hired? Yup, went out of business. Yup. Didn't call either. Surprise.

They were supposed to show up on Sunday at 9, but knowing how far out of town we live, I figured they'd show closer to 10. After packing some odds and ends, I sat on the couch to read (figuring if I fell asleep, I'd get up soon when the movers arrived (and Brad was getting his apartment keys)). At a little before 11, I woke up and realized that they didn't show. I called a friend to try to find the number for the movers and while I was doing that Brad got home.

We ended up having to get the friend to sign into Brad's mail account and get phone number. Turns out that their phone was disconnected.

Amazingly UHaul had a 26' truck available on Sunday. We gathered up 4 friends and loaded up all of the boxes and both beds and moved them to our new places. On Tuesday, Starving Students (movers) come and move all of the furniture and then the moving escapade will be over!
