Yesterday our wonderful packers came and packed up all our stuff (plus the Suman’s green pillows…sorry!) with a total of 47 boxes.  It was so nice, we didn’t quite know what to do with ourselves, so we stayed in our pjs till about noon.

I’m still trying to get adjusted to my new last name, and find it frustrating when I spell it out for people, they insist on putting the “A” before the “L”, making it “Maladineo”. This however, is a twist I’ve never seen before, and it is written on all of our boxes.

We found a super sweet deal on furniture here in Provo (IM Home Furniture), but we couldn’t fit it in our already furnished apartment, so Ferd rented a U-Haul to store it overnight until the movers got here today. This was an adventure.  First of all, because we didn’t pay for the insurance, we had to visually inspect the whole truck and chart down every scratch we saw, or we would be charged with damage. And if you’ve ever noticed, U-Hauls are covered in scratches. We only drove the beast about 8 miles, but it burned through about 1.5 gallons of gas (partially due to the fact that we had the AC blowing b/c it was about 96 degrees outside).

The U-Haul ramp was a huge pain. Literally. Fernando pinched his finger in it trying to lock it in.

Our moving truck. Who knows if our stuff will fit in.  The truck is already partially filled with other people’s boxes.

With all of our belongings packed away. We are left with nothing but a laptop and a TV. Luckily, my sister Cheryl and her family just moved to SLC, so we’re going to hang out with them today.
