Update

Whew. Finally have a little bit of time for an update. Well, I don't, but I know my blog readers deserve one!
So, our move in went REALLY well. Justin rolled into town earlier than I expected, which was so exciting. But the moving truck was enormous! They had given him the wrong size - no surprise since when we rented a Uhaul to move out of student housing, the same thing happened only that time they gave us a caravan sized vehicle, which we refused to take - anyway, it was a big truck this time.





Doesn't this look lovely? It is a really cute house, and I am so glad to be living there, especially since it means we're not living in the trailer or some other sketchy place.



So, we started moving in, and Justin actually went out for a photo assignment (woo-hoo!). After he came back, four people showed up that we totally weren't expecting to come and help. Thanks guys!
The Roths also came to help, and before we knew it, we were all moved in. It was really quick with all that great help.



We all sat in the backyard, ate pizza, chatted and relaxed. Dave showed up just after the pizza came out - good timing Dave!








Remember the pictures of our cute little home? This is what it looked like after we moved everything in. Yikes.

  1. That looks like an awful lot of work unpacking! Gee now my move, with only things that I can squish into the back of an Explorer doesn't seem so bad. Thanks! :)
    Hope it's not too long until you are all moved in and feeling at home there. What a cute house you have. Congrats on being back together and it's sunny out too. Yaaaaay.

  2. I'm always amazed when we move at the amount of stuff we accumulate! Downsizing doesn't seem to be an easy task either.
    Unpacking is fun for about a day and a half - then you just with the boxes would go away!
    Welcome back to the lowermainland, and have fun unpacking!

  3. Nice house! It looks like it's very clean and everything seems like it's in good shape. Nice score.

  5. Nancy - not much better, or so it feels. Justin hasn't exactly had a fire under his feet to get this place looking less like a warehouse and more like a home.
    Rhonda - Thanks. It was a pretty sweet score
    Wagners- yeah, downsizing doesn't really work for us. We tried. We failed. We keep collecting.
    Kodiak - I definitely couldn't move all my stuff in an Explorer! Hope you're coming to see me before you go back to G-town?...
