a chance to breathe

We have now officially moved, and things have been going nonstop since my last post. After Brent passed his oracle exam, we started packing in earnest and didn't stop with the business until, well, we really haven't stopped being busy yet! We finished moving out by the 30th, when housecleaners came. I definitely recommend hiring people to do move-out cleaning, rather than trying to do it yourself. It only took the professionals 1.5 hrs to do what would have taken Brent and I a full day, and the price was really really reasonable. Tues the 31st, we finished moving some last minute stuff out of the old place, filled a moving truck with our belongings from the garage, and got the carpets cleaned. Our landlord was very happy with the condition of our condo, so we got the full deposit back, which was really great and such a relief! We unloaded the truck on the 1st, and since then we've been trying to figure out where everything should fit in this new place.

At first, I was a bit sad to be leaving our old place, but now that we have most of our stuff unpacked, the new place is starting to feel much more like home. It will be really nice when it's all unpacked and set up, yay! Following are some pictures from the move, in chronological order from move-out to move-in. Can you tell we're tired in that last one?!

Sorting through strange things from my desk while packing and going loopy!

Good job on the successful move! Moving is hard work, and you did it like pros, including getting back your full deposit - way to go:) ...(Totally adorable pics as always, btw)
