Moving Day

We still have a few more trips in our future but we got most of our boxes/furniture moved today!  At least the things we need to have to make our first night there tonight!!!!  I am so excited...I think this occasion calls for a bottle of wine to celebrate - I am thinking the bottle of Chianti that I have been saving for a special occasion.  Right now we are at the apartment waiting for our sheets to dry.  Luckily, our TV is still here (Comcast doesn't set our new place up until next week), so we are watching the West Virginia game!  Go Mountaineers!!! I have to come back tomorrow morning to take my final (need the internet). It will be weird since the place is getting pretty empty.

So, I have to do a big shout out to my father-in-law, Bill.  He really hooked us up today with moving assistance.  He was a TREMENDOUS help. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I felt bad for him and Will moving the heavier stuff down three flights of stairs. 

Oh, and Colin loves the train table!  We're so excited to set that up! Thank you Bill and Michael for that!

Colin was also a big help!  Or maybe not.  He first started unpacking his toys all over the living room; once he was distracted I was able to get all of his stuff upstairs so he could unpack there.  Then he helped me in the kitchen.  He either put everything he got out of his box (with no breakables) and put it all in the sink (lined up very nicely on the edges).  Or he put the really important things in the blender.  This picture has Spider-Man, a froggy lid and a few other things in it. 

A good thing about moving is that it helps motivate a person to purge!  We have made quite a few donations to the Good Will lately.  It is so nice to get rid of stuff that we do not need anymore.  Some things are hard to part with (like some of Colin's things).  I am getting better as he gets older though.  I will not attempt looking through his infant clothes for a while though; I have parted with all I can for now!

Will and I may not always do things in the traditional manner, but our life has been crazy, spontaneous and just wonderful - what more could we ask for!  I think that the order we have done things has worked out great for us and I would not change anything! This has been a wonderful experience and I am so excited for all of the projects Will and I have planned...starting with the master suite!  Will actually picked out curtains today; it is so cute seeing him get so excited and into it!

Ooh, sheets are done...time to go to our new home!!
