The Move to California, Part II: Moving In

Although I felt as though Matt and I had accomplished something of epic proportions by trekking across the country with all of our possessions in tow (go here if you want to read about it), and believed that we had earned the right to celebrate our achievement by lounging around in pajamas until noon for a few days, this is not how moving works. Alas. 


Fortunately for us, we had some help. Look at these muscle men!










My dad, brother, good friend David, and Matt did all of the heavy lifting. Between the four guys, the unloading went quickly and smoothly. Thanks so much, you guys! Meanwhile, my mom and I supervised. :)




Once we got everything into the apartment, we realized how much work was ahead of us, in terms of unpacking and setting up our apartment. This is what we saw:


 Entry


Kitchen


Living Room


Dining area


Guest bedroom


Our bedroom

As you can tell, these are the "before" pictures of the apartment. I will be posting the "during" and "after" photos within the next few days. 


Can you stand the suspense?!

  2. He actually jumped in the pool AFTER helping us move in (to cool off). Unfortunately for him, the pool was frigid. His teeth were chattering in that photo!
