Our Last Days in Las Vegas {A Very Belated Moving Update}

Good grief, this post is incredibly overdue! As I was looking through pictures for this post, these last  few days in Las Vegas seem like an eternity ago b/c so much has happened since then! But in reality this was just a few short weeks ago!

We met our sweet friends at the park one morning shortly before we moved, and they totally took us by surprise and showed up with donuts {they know our love language!}, gifts, and goodies to keep everyone occupied on the long drive. So incredibly thoughtful of them! Goodbyes are so hard.

And it deserves to be noted that this was seriously the smoothest move in our family's history by a landslide! I know I mentioned it before, but it bears repeating that the packers showed up ON TIME on the first day {Tuesday} and had our house entirely packed out by 1:30 in the afternoon even though they had us scheduled for two days of packing. Seriously unheard of! We weren't scheduled to be loaded onto the moving truck until Thursday, but since the packers were done early the loaders swung by our house for a bit on Wednesday afternoon to "pre-game" for the next morning--laying out everything to protect the floors, wrapping up our couches, etc. The loaders showed up bright & early on Thursday morning {before 7am!}, and they were gone before 2pm! And there were only TWO guys loading the truck!! I have no idea how they did it, but they were seriously amazing! We totally lucked out, and those same two amazing guys who loaded us in Las Vegas drove the truck to San Antonio themselves and ended up delivering our household goods a day earlier than they originally quoted us--A DAY EARLY! Typically, you're given a window of time that your stuff should be delivered within, and then you can usually plan to tack a few days {or weeks} onto that...but this time, our HHG showed up EARLY! I'm telling you, we lucked out BIG TIME! We are still in complete awe at what a smooth process it was for us this time around!

This first picture below was taken on Wednesday afternoon when the loaders showed up to prep for the next morning. Shelby was at piano, and I brought Brady & Hadley outside to see the truck. Brady just kept saying "big truck" over and over and over again.

We spent our very last night in Las Vegas in our pool together--so many sweet memories were made here!

 

The picture below was taken on our last morning in Las Vegas as we were waiting on our property manager to show up for our final walk-through in our house before we could hit the road for San Antonio. We had the last of our things loaded up in the cars, and then our property manager ended up being an HOUR late! It wouldn't have been such a big deal, but the house was completely empty and we were all just ready to go. The girls kept themselves busy outside playing with rocks and pinecones. ;)

Hopefully it won't be so long before I get the next post up, but whenever it is I'll have pictures from our drive from Las Vegas to San Antonio!
