Well, everything (except the stove) has been carted over to the new house. Yep, that's right. I bought a house. Well, we bought a house. I'm not going into this much debt alone. Anywho, we spent the weekend moving and man was it a frenzied weekend. I've got bruises everywhere and my shoulders are sore from all that carrying of boxes up and down stairs. I didn't do a lot of the heavy lifting (because I can't), so mainly it was just a little here and a little there. Mostly packing and stuffing stuff into boxes and bags. But at least the apartment is now empty and I can start to clean it.
The house though is a mess. Well, not that much of a mess, more like organized chaos. The garage is semi-covered with boxes and a few of the dressers and tables that we're still trying to make room for in the house. Luckily we have enough of everything to actually fill the house quite nicely. I keep wondering how in the world all this stuff used to fit in the apartment. But at least we only have about 2 years worth of "together" history to move. I've still got stuff in my room at home that needs to be moved over to my house, but I think my mom likes my stuff in that room. It makes it seem fuller. But I've got about 60+ porcelain dolls that need to be moved over and I've got to get a cabinet to do that in. But that isn't that big of a problem.
Once things have settled down a bit, I'll post some pictures. My kitchen is a bit smaller (length wise) than the other one, but I've got more cabinet space and counter space, so as soon as I have my kitchen together---let the cooking begin! I am sick of eating sandwiches or "fast-food". But we kept with tradition. Any time that we move we eat Burger King and I am proud to say that we have kept up that tradition . . . especially last night at about 9pm when we finished.
Well, back to the grind of things here. At least today is a half day so I don't have to see my students all day and I have the next 5 days away from them. Yay, time to organize and plan for the next 3 weeks worth of school before the winter break.
