Moving Day!

So, when we embarked on this little adventure, the original plan was to have an entire month to move in slowly which sounded great.  Unfortunately, with all the construction that was going on that wasn’t really an option so we had to revert to plan B, which was basically let’s wait and move at the absolute last possible second.  Moving day finally arrived last Saturday and it was a beautiful sunny day.  Todd and Matt loaded up the trailer for round 1 (planning on there being a round 2 at some point) while Don worked on baseboards and my mom and I painted the master bedroom.

They unloaded all of our furniture and stashed it in the back bedroom (which is the only room that had clean floors at this point) except for the table and chairs which we put in the living room so that we would finally have something to sit on.  It also gave us another flat surface to clutter up with construction stuff. 

Meanwhile, my mom and I painted the master bedroom.

So after all this hard work, we took a lunch break.  Shortly thereafter it started raining and didn’t stop for 4 days.  That kind of put a damper on our second run with the trailer plan.  Which led to plan B—Todd and I cramming everything in our cars and making 3 trips back and forth on our last night at the old place.  Joey and Chanel were nice enough to come over with their truck and help us move the big things we still had left (in the rain) and eventually we got it all out.  

I took this pic because it really was raining but you can't really tell.  

Our place now looks like this…but we are working on the unpacking!
