Well Casa de Blundell has recently begun the relocation process for our brick and mortar location.
Along with the relocation, Casa de Blundell will officially merge with Casa de Turner on April 28 and both I and my beautiful wife-to-be Laurie figured it would be best if we followed tradition and relocated to the same place – together.
So despite the threat of rain and storms, we packed up her belongings in Forney, Texas and moved her things to our new place in Waxahachie.
I’d love to tell you the entire story behind this giant U-Haul Truck (but I don’t want to bad mouth anyone too bad) but we went from a 6×12 U-Haul trailer to a 22′ moving bus to load all of Laurie’s belongings…
We had help from Laurie’s brother Brian and her parents.
As soon as we shut the door on the truck the clouds opened and the biggest gully washer of them all came pouring down. I called my boss, Heath Sims, to see how the weather in Waxahachie was and he said Midlothian was getting 4″ of rain per hour. It was insane! It took us nearly an hour and a half to drive the 55 miles or so from Forney to Waxahachie.
And when we arrived we were soaking wet.
We waited the storm out and then woke up the next morning and went to work moving things into the new place.
Luckily Josh and Matt were more than willing to come help me unload the truck and bring everything inside while Laurie, Martha and Vicki arranged things inside.
We took a break later that evening for our first meal in the new place on our brand new plates and silverware. The Panda Expess dinners went great with a bottle of Pinot Noir. The spicy Chinese food and wine really made a great mix.
Sunday after church we went to lunch with Shari and Smiley and were pretty much pooped afterwards.
And after several other errands and a meeting for community 2.0 we came back and enjoyed a few quiet hours together without worrying about one of us driving an hour home.
I even finished installing the new cord for the dryer and finished a load of laundry I started earlier in the day.
So there you have it. Just a glimpse at our fun filled weekend.
Hope you enjoyed it. Give us a ring when you’re in the neighborhood and stop on by for a visit (just bring your own wine ;-)).
Laurie has her own thoughts on the weekend on her blog, as well as more pics on Flickr.
Sounds like you all had quite a weekend! The place looks great!
