Hi Everyone!
We survived the move, thank goodness, and now have an internet connection! So, if my math is right, I do believe I owe y'all 18 photos. I'm not going to number them by days, because there is no purpose in lying to you: I did not take a picture every day of the move. I wish I did, really, but it just was not going to happen. Here are, however, 18 of my most favorite photos in no real order!
Enjoy!
We used our kitchen for storage in the old apartment...
...It filled up rather quickly...
Tony's old army bag came in handy. By the end it was full of ~80 lbs of dirty clothes...
I said goodbye to my old kitchen, without much remorse. It was, however, inifintely better than the one in Texas, probably because it didn't have any 2 pound rats in it. Nasty.
Have you tried diet cherry Dr. Pepper yet? It's pretty much what made this move possible. Does anyone else hear my friend Amber gagging?
The Dyson was the real workhorse of the move. We had a duck-down comforter, which produced enough dust to create 5 life sized dust bunnies, and about 15 sneezing attacks between the two of us. We no longer have this comforter.
So, finally, we walked out of the door, and said goodbye to Poway.
But wait, we did leave one thing behind. Ewww. I found this LIVING silverfish in the closet. I decided he would have to take up his business with the next people that move in. Suckers.
We hired movers this time, because I am incapable of hauling some of our heavy furniture, and Tony can only do so much. So, for the price of a Uhaul and gas, we paid 2 professionals to do their thing, and boy, did they ever get the job done. 2.5 hours later all of our stuff was in our new apartment. It kind of looked like this, only worse:
See the candles on the table? So cute.
The new kitchen is fantastic. It has gas burners, which I've never had before.
It also has a little computer nook right next to it. I find this very convenient for my cooking blog :).
It also has a (already heavily used) island! Hooray!!!
We have our T.V. up on the wall now. Here the cords are all "caddywompus", as Tony would say.
This happened today. We went to IKEA to buy curtains, and ended up getting a great deal on a bed frame for the spare bedroom. The only problem was that the dang headboard was ASSEMBLED! When does that ever happen at IKEA!?!? So, while I threw my hands up in the air, Tony used his brain and came up with a way to carefully strap it down to the top of the car. We made it all the way home (30 miles) without a scratch to the car or headboard. He's so resourceful! I felt really cool going down the 5 with a headboard on top of my Jetta.
Well, it looks like I ran out of room on this post for pictures--blogger seems to be giving me a hard time. I'll continue on a following post! (If you're counting, I still owe you 3 pictures)!
