This weekend was a busy one! Shane and I took Friday and Saturday off at both of our jobs so that we would have plenty of time to move into our new apartment. So Friday morning we rolled out of bed at 7:45am and packed up our cars with boxes we had stored at my parent's house. We unloaded at the new place, and then headed over to our storage unit to pick up the Uhaul we rented and load that. We met Shane's friend there who helped us load everything, (we were able to fit our entire storage unit in one load!!)
We began unloading at the apartment around 10:30am, and by that time my mom was there helping, which was fantastic because Shane's friend had to leave and I wasn't the best help because I can't lift really heavy things. We were able to get everything but the big furniture unloaded by noon. We had so many boxes that we had formed a maze in the apartment, it was pretty awesome. (Wish I would have taken pictures!)
At noon my mom went home and Shane and I took a break for lunch. After we finished eating delicious Panda Express, we picked up the nursery furniture from Walmart. We then went back to my parent's house to get our bed and dresser. My dad and one of his workers helped us with all the big furniture, (thank goodness, because I don't know how we would have done it without help!)
We were completely done moving and had the Uhaul returned by 5:00pm. We then began the long and boring process of unpacking. We worked on everything until a little after midnight.
Saturday we were able to sleep in until 9am! I went grocery shopping, which a big mistake, (never go grocery shopping at Walmart the day before the Superbowl,) and Shane worked on the apartment some more. I then went to a hair appointment, (a birthday gift from Shane,) while Shane set up the nursery. When I got home we went to Leatherby's to celebrate my birthday. It was heavenly! I'm pretty much obsessed with their caramel and fudge sauce, if you haven't had it you really do not know what you're missing!
After a way too big, but super delicious meal, we went to the movies. We saw Warm Bodies. Seriously, the best zombie movie I've ever seen. I fell in love with the characters and will probably go see it again.
We got home from the movie and did a little more organizing, but we were so exhausted we didn't work for too long.
Sunday we slept in way too late. . . I'm too ashamed to even say what time we got out of bed. Eventually when we pulled ourselves out we got ready for church and then hung some decorations to kill a little time. After church, we went to my parents for dinner.
We got home around 8:00pm, threw some trash away, hung a couple more things, and realized we were done. Completely done with the apartment. I can't believe we did it all in one weekend, but we did! It looks awesome and we are loving it!
I will post pictures once all the boxes have been thrown away and the floor's been vacuumed!
Yay for busy weekends!
