PCSing and a TMO/DMO move

We're living in California now! Here's an update about how our move went :)


1) Moving was horrible, but Noah did pretty well. One of us had to sit back there with him and entertain him at all times, but overall it went better than expected!


2) We had TMO move us. This was actually more frustrating than I thought it would be. We did a DITY move from MI to NC, so we thought everything would be easier. We were wrong.


3) The company messed with our dates. They kept changing around when they were packing our stuff, then they kept changing the pick up date. They packed our stuff on the 9th. We sat in a packed house for a day. They picked it up on the 11th. Unfortunately, all of our utilities were turned off that morning, because we thought they were packing the truck on the 10th. No water. No AC. It was bad for everyone.


4) We went to Mississippi for a week, which was fine considering TMO said we wouldn't receive our stuff earlier than July 25th.


5) We spent 3 days driving from MS to CA. Not bad. We rested at night and spent about 10-12 hours in the car each day.


6) God, its hot out here at 29 Palms.


7) The house we reserved before we got here was perfect. Too bad neither AC unit worked for 2 days. Add on 2 more days of living in a hotel.


8) Our stuff was delivered on July 24th! We originally set it up for them to deliver our stuff and have them unpack it as well. Apparently, we were unpacking it ourselves. This really wasn't horrible, because there are always people looking for free boxes and packing supplies.


9) Ugh. We lost a bunch of receipts. Goodbye, reimbursement.


10) Next time, we'll just do it ourselves. Also, I'll have a better system for saving receipts.


So that is that. Also, follow me on Instagram @Kfryyy. It will be the kick in the pants that I need to stop only posting pictures of my child.
