Hello!!!
We are officially moved in!!
Now, we just have to put everything away in it’s new home 🙂
Friday night when I arrived home, Brian and I shared a glass of wine with our “last meal” at the apartment. Â Unfortunately, it wasn’t anything super fancy, it was made up of a ton of leftover, and random produce in the fridge that I could easily get rid of. Â But it still tasted good!
Brian was sad to leave.
We then worked through the night making sure all of the odds and ends were packaged up and labeled. Â Then, the morning came, we put the finishing touches on packing and the movers arrived.
They had the place cleared out in an hour and a half!
We had a lot of heavy wooden furniture, tables, a bed, and a couch, and we thought that it would be safest if we hired movers (for us and the furniture!).  Brian and I had never hired movers before, but we now highly recommend it.  We decided to use Two Men and a Truck  simply because we had heard of them before and we had friends that had a good experience with them in the past.  Their slogan is “movers who care”, and they really do live by that.
I was so impressed with their speed at getting things into the truck (after all they are paid hourly!), the care that they gave our belongings, and their friendly personalities. Â With each item that was large, they wrapped it in a blanket surrounded with a seran wrap type material to keep it in place.
They were so careful with things that could potentially get damaged. Â For example, Brian and I had a lamp that was laying out for them to take. Â The movers asked us to remove the light bulb and take the lamp shade ourselves so that nothing could get damaged.
Overall, I was very impressed. Â It made the move smooth, easy, and quick.
Now, all we have left is the unpacking part.
After the movers got everything into the house, it was time for lunch. Â I made myself a salad of spinach, romaine, broccoli, onion, tomato, egg whites (with cottage cheese in them), all topped with salsa and balsamic vinegar. Â Very tasty.
After getting somethings in the kitchen put away, we headed out to a graduation open house for one of Brian’s cousins.  Of course, snacks were involved.  For me:  some veggies and dip, a pickle, a delicious purple iced sugar cookie, and some Reese’s Pieces.  I haven’t had Reese’s Pieces in a while, and I realized why I don’t buy them…they are addicting!  Brian and I kept going back for more, and we even took some “for the road” to snack on in the car 😉
We then came home, and got the clothing situation mostly organized and took a break to eat some of Brian’s dad’s homemade French onion soup and a side salad. Â Delish….as I was eating it, it made me think of Christmas! Â I already made the request to have this dish again during the holidays.
Today
Today, I woke up early, had some egg white oats with strawberries and a bit of peanut butter for breakfast.
Now we must finish the unpacking, organizing, and decorating…happy Sunday!

Congrats on what sounds like a very successful move! It is so sad leaving somewhere you’ve lived because of all the memories, but moving to a new place is just as exciting. Looking forward to seeing some pictures once you’re all settled in 🙂
