We are so EXCITED, not just for the stuff, but mostly to see the light at the end of the this long nightmare tunnel. Minor damage on some things :(, already noted some things missing, and we just paid all the money they wanted so we could just get to the end of this. Pickup was supposed to be on 12/29. They picked it up on 1/6 and the latest they should have been here was Tuesday (2 weeks from pickup, never mind that the contract said 1/13) and they came yesterday, 1/23. AND it was a different moving company who had nothing to do with our previous troubles. (Once again they lied, because I had chosen this company because they said they do all the work themselves, they don't contract out, and their trucks had air-ride so things don't shift- this truck didn't). They violated a lot of things in our contract. We could have made them re-weigh everything and dispute some charges, but we didn't think the ongoing hassle and stress was worth the charges. They had very shoddy paperwork, and I am at a disadvantage because I was not present at pickup. We just paid their price which they said was a "deal". Now we are wondering if we should even go through the claims process. Hopefully nothing else is missing or damaged.
This has been a first hand lesson of what ongoing mental and emotional stress can do to you. It totally affects how your body feels, how you sleep, your energy, your tolerance for things, and how you treat others. It gives me so much more understanding for others who are in never-ending stress, specifically those in our family. WOW! We are so glad this is the end of a couple of stressful months and the beginning of a new adventure. We have got to go help our neighbors move out and then it is "Happy Unpacking" for us!
PS: If any of you are planning a long distance move, talk to us first. Maybe we can save you a few headaches.

Yeah!!! I'm so glad that it got there. That's funny that you just gave in. We usua;;y get our stuff and find things that are broken and write it all down and then in the end we just ignore it and let it slide. It's just too much work.
Oh, thank goodness! What a stressful time you have had! If we ever have to move long distance I will definitely talk to you first.
Okay, so I know that I've never met you guys, but blogs are great for getting to know people and keeping in touch! I'm so glad that things are starting to work out for you and you're getting through all that stress. It's nice of you to share your story and recognize your blessings through it all. It reminds us all to try to do the same. Good luck with unpacking!

ps. my brother and siser-in-law live in Henderson, they love it there and we love visiting them a couple times a year!
Yeah I am so happy for you guys!! I'm glad that part of the headache is over.Hopefully know you can start enjoying it!
Heather and Ryan could feel your pain with not getting stuff after moving. They finally got their stuff and have tried to settle in. Some of it got broke but the company has been good to them. Hope all gets back to normal soon.
