Moving!!!

The fun began early Friday morning as Lindsey and I headed off to sign papers, get our keys and do a bit of cleaning, leaving Michael and James home to finish loading some boxes and pack Dad's SUV. Watching the two of them pack was rather comical, Michael apparently inherited his dad's packing abilities and there was not a square inch that was not utilized to the utmost of its potential. We brought tulips with us when we went to clean and they were the first thing to be brought in and set on the counter. I'm so glad to have a roommate who values making things feel homey and comfy too!

The guys moved all the heavy stuff, so why was I the one getting the back rub???
We got everything moved by late afternoon and then various family members and a few close friends came to celebrate and have pizza and brownies with us.

Saturday we (Michael, Lindsey and I) went to check out a chair from Craig's list to complete our living room. It barely fit in the jeep though and Lindsey had a really squished ride home but it was worth it, its exactly the kind of chair we'd been looking for.


It was a huge help having Michael here for the move :) We put the poor guy to work, moving boxes, arranging furniture, helping us get the internet set up, hanging stuff on walls, cooking, grocery shopping etc etc etc. Mostly though, it was a comfort to have him here. I had not fully realized that wherever he is feels like home. Now that he's gone back to Denver, it's starting to set in what a huge change this is. I'm hoping that getting my room arranged and getting into something of a routine will help, but for right now the honest truth is that, with as excited as I am to be here, change is hard and I feel a little lost in life.
