Moving Trip (Part 1) - Day 1

I've been up nearly continuously for about 20 of the last 24 hours and I slept on the floor the last time I had a chance (in the old house in Douglasville). Worked on trying to fit everything into the U-Haul and weighing things before quitting around 0300 last night... Woke up early this morning and tried to stuff a few more things in the truck (had to leave a few things). I finished everything and left the new owners all the information I could about the house. It was very bittersweet to leave the place behind - I put a lot of work into it. Hope we have a chance to own something like this again someday... Left around 0800 and had no trouble getting through Atlanta on I-20. No traffic all the way to I-95 - then got busier. Weighed the full truck after getting into North Carolina - it is about 700 pounds heavier than the recommended weight on the side of the truck (oops)... I had no idea we had so much crap!! Made it to Virginia Beach around 1700. Going to bed early tonight - we have lots to do before the kids have to be in Salem (MA) at the end of the week. Still have a paper to finish, too...
