Rebecca's Move to Chicago

or the saga of the U-haul

Here are some pictures of the move to Chicago on March 21 and 22, 2003. Actually most of the pictures are of her place and the view from the 16th floor.

Rebecca arranged for a U-Haul trailer that was 6X12. I picked it up on Thursday and drove it to her house in Montevallo. She and Jared packed it, and we both agreed that Jared should get the "packer of the year" award. He got nearly all of her stuff into that trailer. A few things went into the back of the Jeep like her computer and television and clothes, but we had to leave a couple of items behind like a lamp and a small desk chair - we just could not fit them in!
