Our Dity Move--Part 1

The time is finally here! We are moving to Washington. Chris was released to come get me and all of our stuff. I set up the U-Haul rental and finished packing. Luckily most of our stuff was already packed in a storage unit since I was living with Monica and Ash and only needed clothes.

The Army pays for us to move, based on weight and distance, so when Chris got to Utah, we had to drive to Heber to a certified weigh station to get the truck weighed empty. Then we could get the U-Haul and start loading our stuff. We had our king size mattresses and table stored in Monica's garage, because it wouldn't fit in the storage unit, so we decided to load it first. We put the table in then the mattresses on top and loaded my clothes and stuff from the house under the table and around the mattresses. After all of that was loaded, Chris went to the storage unit to load up the rest. We also had to pick up Chris' 4-wheeler from Salt Lake that had been in the shop for the last 4+ months that he was gone. When we called, they told us it still wasn't ready. Chris and I were pisses...they had it for months and basically sat on it and did nothing! They told us to give them another day or two, but we had to get a final moving weight from the weigh station, so we borrowed my sisters 4 wheeler. We loaded it up and hooked up the U-Haul. We thought we could go back to the same weigh station in Heber, but they were closed. We called pretty much every weigh station in Utah and none of them were going to be open because it was a Saturday. We had to hit the road on Monday to make it back on time, so we didn't have time to wait. Finally we found one in Evanston, Wyoming that was going to be open. We loaded up 4 of Chris' cousins for a fun road trip (and added weight...hehehe) to Wyoming at like 4pm. It was such a long drive! We didn’t' end up getting back to the house until almost 11pm. We now had both our weigh in tickets and were good to go!
