One Down, Two To Go

Posted by: Dan on May 28, 2008

Last weekend we got Brooke and her sister moved out of their apartment. And by we I mean myself, Brooke, Bettina, Kurt (Brooke and Bettina’s dad), Ted, Matt, Mel, Jodi – and later Cyndi (Brooke and Bettina’s mother), Ben, Becky and even Samantha.

Things went pretty well. In the morning Brooke came over to pick me up so we could go and get the U-Haul (and I’m not linking to them because of the hassle we went through with them!). I drove that out to Brooke’s apartment and we started to take box after box down. In a few short hours – even if it seemed like ages – we were loaded up and headed off.

The unpacking went a lot faster, as it always seems to. We unloaded everything out on to Cyndi and Kurt’s driveway and then started to haul things into the house and the garage. I think it was around 6PM when I got back to my apartment.

Sunday I went back over to Brooke and Bettina’s apartment to help pack up a few last minute things and to clean. I think I got home around 3:30PM or so and spent the rest of the day packing up things in my apartment. And pretty much all week (so far) I’ve been doing the same. Packing and cleaning.

Friday we get the keys to the new place and should be able to get all the boxes from my place over there. At least that’s my goal. If all goes well I hope we can get a few pieces of furniture over there as well. Then Saturday will be time to move the large items, clean up a bit and hand over the keys. I can’t wait.

Sunday I think Brooke wants to move some of her stuff over. So that’ll be another move. I think after than I’ll just want to sleep all week. I can’t though since we’ll have to kick it into high gear for the wedding. Only 30 more days!
