Our lease was up on April 30 in our Sammamish condo (mom & dad Visser graciously took us in for our final 2 months in the US) so we had to move all of our stuff to a storage unit. It's hard to believe that all of our household possessions could fit into such a small space (18x20), but through the help of Dave's mom and dad (creative stacking) we were able to get everything in (even the professional movers were impressed when they saw our handy work).
The movers came at the end of May to pack up all of our things to either "storage" or "surface" (Geneva). If you picture a line cutting down the center of the picture, most of the items on the left we stored and most on the right is en route to Geneva. It's an interesting process if you've never seen professional movers at work. They literally wrap everything in paper (in the picture of the moving truck below, if you look at where the yellow strap makes a "v", that object wrapped in paper is Ang's bike). We felt a little bad watching the movers work so hard and not being able to help much. One of them shared a story about trying to pack up a lady's house and she hovered over them with a butcher knife the entire time. So I guess that made us feel better about the situation.
After 7 movers worked a 10 hour day, everything was out of the unit, overly wrapped and on it's way. Our shipment should arrive in Geneva the first week of August.
