A week ago today an army of friends showed up at our apartment and proceeded to swiftly and artfully load our U-Haul, plus Creighton's pickup truck and Steve's flatbead trailer. Two hours later we were sitting amongst a sea of boxes in our new house, eating Pringles and gabbing. It was, without a doubt, the fastest move I've ever made. Thanks so much to Ashlee, Kate, another Kate, Steve, Creighton, James, and Tommy for the fantastic help!
This past week has been war - me against the boxes. I don't like living out of boxes, and I pride myself on being quick to settle in to new places. And since I am currently without gainful employment, I have dedicated myself full time to the task of organizing our life. I've done fairly well so far - living room and kitchen are done, and our bedroom, both bathrooms, computer room, and the family room are in various states of unpacking.
(Living room, box free!)
I took a day to do some major drywall patching and then paint in the laundry room. I love being able to put color on my walls!
(I've been saving those overalls for seven years for this very purpose! Wee!)Okay, back to the boxes!

It is really looking good! I love that color of paint. Do I even need to mention "housewarming"?
