Moving Day

Hello again. It's been a long week...here's a partial recap:

Last Wednesday was officially moving day. Thursday was spent doing non-house-related work for both Andy and I, and then Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were spent stripping wallpaper and painting the kitchen and bathroom in our (old) house.


Step 1: Packing...Monday and Tuesday were spent packing...and packing...and packing.


Step 2: Piling...thanks to Andy, this step was almost completely done before I even got out of bed Wednesday morning.


Step 3: Loading...the moving crew (a.k.a. friends and family) showed up by 1:00 and the loading began--3 trucks, 1 car, 1 trailer, and 2 hours later, we were on the road headed for Northfield.


Step 4: Arrive!...Here it is, our new digs. We're about an hour, give or take (depending on traffic) from the Cities, for those of you who are just waiting in line to come visit.


Step 5: Unload...additional moving crew members (a.k.a. Andy's new coworkers) met us in Northfield and helped unload in no time.


Step 6: Unpack...okay, so this is just another "unload" photo. Why? Because that's about as far as we've gotten. Unpacking has occurred only in the kitchen, and the rest of the house still looks like the above scene.

Stay tuned for our exciting wallpaper and painting adventure of the weekend...
