We Moved to a New Apartment

Hello again everyone. In case you didn't catch the brief mention of this fact in a past blog post, we've said goodbye to 804A Autumn Circle and moved to a new apartment. This all took place on the first weekend of July, and was mostly painless. We had a lot of friends come to help us, adding three trucks to the UHaul we rented. Actually moving our things from one apartment to the other took only about 3 hours. What a blessing to have helpful friends!

The worst part of the whole process was the day after the move when we spent 8-9 hours cleaning the old place. Was that ever tiring!

It took several weeks, but we finally got all moved in and settled in the new place. It's always surprising to realize how much stuff you have. We had quite a time finding a place for all our things in this new, smaller apartment. Once we got everything put away and our pictures hung up on the walls, it began to feel more like home. I think Mel and I are used to it now. Mel definitely enjoys the extra space in the kitchen! And I certainly enjoy a shorter and more pleasant (read: less busy roads) bike ride to campus. (Stay tuned for a time-lapse video of my bike ride; I've been meaning to post it for a while now.)

Here are a few pictures to document the events. (I'm trying out the embedded picasa slideshow - just click the slideshow to head to the album on my picasa page.)
