Kari C in SC Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I have been away from the boards for about 2 weeks. We got a 53" semi and moved two households (my mom's and ours) from Florida to South Carolina. Our house is bigger here, but since we are storing all my mom's stuff - it has been a little crazy. We did it though! I had some pretty serious doubts that we could accomplish it as fast as we did. My dh started his new job on Monday and all seems to be going well. I think I will have at least another week of trying to find a place for everything and then I will start looking outside my house for homeschool groups, etc. We bought the house next door to my nieces and nephews that are also homeschooled, so there are lots of kids to play with. As for our Florida house... it still has not sold. We were able to get it rented for a pretty good amount to cover close to both of our mortgages. Hopefully the market will be better next year and we can try to sell then. Anyway, I am back now and need to figure out how to use all these gadgets on these new boards.

8filltheheart Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 You are inspiring me. :) Our house is being packed up as we speak. I can't wait to unload all of the boxes in our new house and be settled. I am hoping to do it in under 2 weeks, but part of me was wondering if I was being unrealistic. You have given me hope. :) Where did you end up in SC? My oldest was born when we lived in Camden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kari C in SC Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 momof7 - YOU CAN DO IT! We pulled this move off in about 10 days time. Granted, we knew we would be moving eventually and had packed up a lot when we put our house up for sale. There was still SO MUCH STUFF. It took my dh and 3 other guys 17 hours to load the 53" truck because of downpouring rain. It was just so bad. We were all exhausted at the end of packing up the truck. Then we got to SC and our family came to the rescue. We have 7 nieces and nephews next door with my dh's brother. My dh's two sisters live across the street and another close family friend lives around the corner. With all of their help, they unloaded the truck in 4 hours. We have a split level house so you have to go up or downstairs for everything. I was so amazed! Anyway, I just really believe that God planned the time for our move to be right. It was so long in coming, but once it was set in motion - it just got done. Oh and we are in Lexington - actually Redbank - outside of Columbia. I don't really have my directions straight on where anything else is. I just know my way to Walmart, Target, Kohls and Sams. What else do I need? LOL! Good luck to you!
