We scribbled down some numbers and realized we are better off with the moving people, considering the piano and the flight of stairs, and we will still be able to buy a new car. Our relocation money is saving our butts.
Stephen called our movers back this morning and rescheduled. They decided to go ahead and do our move all in one day, on November 30. This will be quite a long day for them, but I am so relieved that it is not spread over two days. I hope Mom and Stan can make it out. Our last move, Stephen and I were split for a lot of the day doing odds and ends at both locations; Mom and Stan would give us each a bit of companionship as we do cleaning in the old place and prepping in the new place.
The new apt called saying we are approved... barring we pay the $4,000 that is owed to our current landlords for breaking our lease (!!!!) It turned out our current kandlords merely forgot about our contract adendum stating we are excluded from fees if we have to break our lease-- so all is well, we just had to pay our last months rent as usual. Still, it did make our hearts sink. No one likes to hear that they owe $4,000. So, our 30-day notice, company letterhead, and last months rent is submitted, and we are officially approved.
My Uncle Gary is still in the hospital. Yesterday, both Angie and Grandma called, telling me two different things-- I guess Gary either has a hole in his heart or had a small stroke. We still don't know what has happened or will happen with him.
Tomorrow is Stephen's last day at his Oskaloosa store. His three women will miss him I am certain, and it sounds like they are preparing something "special" for Stephen's very last day. He has yet to pack his clothes, or even wash them at that, and he's leaving for NE Saturday. I suppose I should be a helpful wife and help him out with that. ;-)

I don't know Meghan, I'm thinking that Stan and Stephen would have done an excellent job with the piano on... how many flights of stairs? 15? Oh, and with the strong possibility of snow, bitter temps, and maybe a serious wind chill... :p
Are you going to get a body estimate on the Saturn? Y'know, just for kicks?
You guys are doing wonderful. Some kinks thrown into the otherwise close-to-perfect plan but you've recovered nicely.
We'll let you know about coming up for The Moving Day.
Less risk going upstairs makes my piano happy. However, it appreciates the confidence we exude in our feeble, inexperienced abilities, and knows we have its best interest at heart.
Yes, I think we will go ahead and get an estimate. Just for kicks. We need a good laugh, especially one that is free, har har har.
Yeah, I knew we would pull through. December should very peaceful after all of this.
