We were able to successfully move into the new house this past weekend despite the efforts of our moving company to delay us a few more days. For anyone interested DO NOT USE We-Haul-U in the Columbia area. It went something like this famous Seinfeld episode:
Jerry: I don't understand. Do you have my reservation?
Car Rental Assistant: We have your reservation, we just ran out of cars.
Jerry: But the reservation keeps the car here, that's why you have the reservation!
Car Rental Assistant: I think I know why we have reservations.
Jerry: I don't think you do. You see, you know how to *take* the reservation, you just don't know how to *hold* the reservation. And that's really the most important part of the reservation: the holding. Anybody can just take them.
Eventually we were able to get a 26' truck from Ryder and with the help of our parents on both sides we were able to get moved by midday Sunday. We're still up to our ears in boxes and crumpled newspapers but we're making good progress and really enjoying the new house. Overall, the pets are doing fine. Foster doesn't seem to know that he moved. Smokey is terrified of all of the ceiling fans and the garage door. Kyra is still trying to figure out how she ended up being the outside cat.
