Happy Summer!
Technically summer isn't here but it sure feels like it and I am loving it. I have been having a hard time thinking of topics to write about so the only thing that is really going on with me now that is new/interesting is moving. So here goes- a topic on moving.
1.) If you didn't know, Jill and I are relocating about four blocks south of where we currently live now into an AMAZING condo. The kind of condo that makes you feel good and reminds yoyu that you are successful (well probaly more so when you purchase it) but WE are renting and it is equally as exciting/rewarding. There is a pic above.
2.) We have AMAZING views of the lake and park. My window is actually on the east side in my bedroom and cannot imagine waking up to something more beautiful. I am a sunny girl and need sun in my life always.
3.) So moving today is definitley different from your college moves. For one, living in high rises requires a lot more help/muscles and a lot more steps in the moving process. The mover guy broke it down to me and I was slightly overwhelmed on the phone.
ME: We just need to hire two guys to get our couches/beds to the UHaul and then to our new place
ROY(mover): Sigh, Well do you understand that you will be moving from the 8th floor to the elevator and then the elevator to the truck and then the truck to parking lot, to elevator, then elevator to the new apartment.
ME: wow...No I didn't
This was great insight from Roy but Jill and I are still convinced we can move ourselves will the help of a boy or two, which is still TBD. Oh and this makes it even more EXCITING, I only have half an hour to use the frieght elevator, so that pretty much means I have 30 minutes to pack everything in my life in an elevator/truck.
And..just to keep things even more interesting, we don't have confirmation for the use of the elevator at the new condo or even have keys yet.
BUT.. We do have KEYS (we made ourselves) and our landlord has no idea we are moving in Friday and the floors are semi ripped up as of yesterday, hmm? So with all this in mind, we go buy paint...
4.) Painting, We bought paint last night and well $108 later we are walking out of Home Depot with two buckets of paint and two bags full of supplies (including tape, which I still am not convinced we need) and Harley. Imagine us in skirts walking down the street to our bus, yes, I am sure people were laughing Thank GOD the bus driver let us on with Harley (my dog)
5.) Next steps: Get our "actual keys" and pray that we can move in Friday! And..make friends with the doorman :)
Oh.. and did I mention that this is the warmest week of the year, highs at 90? FATE
Next post will hopfully be from the condo! Wish us luck
