We have finally moved in to our new place! We decided on an apartment for now so we can set up a routine and get ourselves ready for house shopping. It wasn't something we wanted to rush into, so we're really excited about our new living situation! We signed the papers and picked up the keys on the 10th and had our furniture delivered and cable/phone/internet installed on the 11th.
It was such a relief to see all my stuff come off of those trucks and into the apartment. I forgot how much stuff we have! We immediately saw no damage to the big pieces, thank goodness, but opening the boxes was a daunting task we're still undertaking. Happy to report that all my pottery survived!
We are slowly but surely getting it all put together. Not surprisingly, the kitchen was the first room to be unpacked and Hayden's bedroom was the first to be completely decorated. We've had a lot of fun picking out window treatments and the few new pieces of furniture we needed for our apartment. The unpacking process is made a bit more difficult by the time constraints imposed by full time jobs, full time school and full time need for a toddler schedule, but we'll get there! We've done a lot of sorting and trashing and donating and organizing and it feels good to settle in on our own couch, sleep in our own beds and eat dinner as a family. It's also really nice to be able to walk into Target and Bed Bath & Beyond and find everything we need all at once!
