How much?

Well, we received the quote from the first movers... 2300£! And that is not including all the 'extra fees'. So Im calling around other companies. They all want exact measurements, which I dont really have at the moment. So, Chris and I have decided that the best course of action will be to clean out the dinning room of everything, sorting through what we want to keep and what we dont. Then we will take our bit 'tubs' down and start filing them... and see where that takes us. I am going to ask my good friend Steph to help me... she wont be emotionally attached to all the stuff I have... Especially all the party supplies.  We are going to really have to limit everything.  If we all bring an extra suit case on our flight, it will be 232£. So that is one option, but it can only weight 51 lbs per item.  So, we might even just bring 8 'tubs' with us, and 4 carry ons. We need to make decisions.  Last night we were both so exhausted, as the kids arent sleeping due to ear infections. We couldn't even think of what to do. So, we just sat down with ben and jerrys with a hot moon pie on top   and watched the Help. We brought a few boxes home to give away as gifts, but the boxes were ruined.  So Chris and I decided to keep them and have been thoroughly enjoying them heated up with ice cream on top!  A true Tennessee treat! Ive included a picture of a moon pie ice cream sundae... ours wasn't as fancy as that but I think I might have to try that! Also, I found a picture of some moon pie turkeys for thanksgiving. I really want to make those! There is also an RC cola and Moonpie festival in Bell Buckle, Tn! Ok, it sounds like so much fun! Google maps says its only an hour away from Franklin.  Our family is going to plan on going to that next summer! Anyone wanna come out to visit us for it lol!





RC and Moon Pie Festival in Bell Buckle, TN—June 15, 2013
What’s more southern than an RC Cola and a Moon Pie? Nothing, if you ask the residents of this central Tennessee town, who celebrate these treats every summer with deep-south events like a synchronized wading demonstration, a watermelon seed–spitting contest, the Moon Pie toss and a hog-calling contest. There’s also a parade of cola bottles and snack cakes, and the festival’s finale: the cutting of the world’s largest Moon Pie.
