We moved!

Phew!  What a weekend!  Leif and I, with the immense amount of help from Leif's friend Patrick and Mandy, packed and moved our old apt on Thursday.  This task was no joke.  :)  It took us all day Thursday to pack the rented U-Haul, drive it to the new place, and bring everything in to the new house- I use the word "everything" loosely though as it took Leif and I the rest of the weekend to pack the remaining items and clean the old apartment up.  :)  We are exhausted- and a bit overwhelmed (I also use the term "a bit" loosely) and also so grateful for our new place.  We moved 2 houses down the street from our complex- pretty convenient location, eh?  :)  Our new place has 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, and proper dining room, a basement, deck, and back yard.  It is an absolute dream.  We've met our very sweet neighbors Barry & Erin- they have a new baby Maggie and are very tired but happy- we can relate.  :)  Abby and Orion are adjusting to the new place- Abby had a tough day on Friday but was happy to be in her new home with her mom and dad for the weekend.  We had new living room furniture delivered on Friday- it is GORGEOUS- and bought a patio table for our deck on Saturday (as well as some soon-to-be yummy patio veggie plants...)  We still have a ton of unpacking to do but things have been relatively smooth so far.  We'll try to snap and post some pics of the new place once it is more assembled.  :)
