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. 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. 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. 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. 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. For example, Brian and I had a lamp that was laying out for them to take. 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. 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. 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. 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. Delish….as I was eating it, it made me think of Christmas! 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 🙂
