we're home!

Jesse and I just wrapped up our move to our new apartment this evening, and we're super excited. Of course, there is still a lot to do to get settled in, but so far it has gone very smoothly. Since we've been married, we have never moved within the same state, let alone within the same city. So moving within the same building was almost fun.

The back doors for both of the units exit on to a back stairway (that is seriously falling off the side of the building, but it's still standing for now) so we could carry nearly everything that way - a distance of about 30 feet. We used laundry baskets for a good deal of the move, so we basically loaded them up, moved the stuff over, and unloaded it where it belonged. The end result...very little unpacking!

After we moved all of the obvious stuff over, we then took some time in the old apartment to go through the leftovers and were able to find quite a bit of stuff to take to Goodwill. It was so much easier to go through it in an empty apartment.

Now we're getting settled in and it's been really fun to plan our new space. The wood floors are beautiful, and having a second bedroom to use as an office/guest room will be really nice. The kitchen, on the other hand, is soooo small, but we have some ideas to make it work. Hope to have pictures soon!
