Casualty #2: Mattress

Overall the move went really well. It was so nice having the movers bring everything in the house and to the appropriate room (for the most part). They even put our bed, crib, etc. back together for us. But our super comfortable, pillow top, queen size mattress somehow got wet while in the moving truck overnight. The movers have no idea how it happened. Nothing else was wet, just the mattress. The Wells Fargo insurance claim people have been more than fabulous. They immediately approved us to go out and purchase a new mattress and also an aero bed to sleep on until our new mattress is delivered. So the good part is that we now have a nice air bed that inflates in less than 3 minutes and deflates in 1. We've now slept two nights on the air bed and with a foam pad on top, it's really not that bad. I will be happy to have my new mattress this weekend, though. We lost a lot of unpacking time due to the mattress situation, but we've been able to get quite a bit done. My parents, sister, and niece came yesterday. My dad was a huge help with putting up blinds and other manly things. My mom and sister helped unpack a bunch of boxes and get Kaylin's room ready to go. It was great. Today we get to go to our new ward. That should be interesting.

We had to go to Macy's to look at new mattresses since that's where are ruined one was purchased. Since we were down there we picked up our two new chairs from their warehouse that is close to their store. We were supposed to pick them up on Friday or Saturday, so that worked out pretty well for us.
