Well, it was quite an exhausting weekend, to be sure. Laura and I went out to Necto on Wednesday night, everyone kept giving me free drink tickets and I got a little trashed (mixed with the fact that I hadn't eaten since 4pm). I was quite a bit hung over on Thanksgiving Day (thankful that I didn't puke), which is the second hang over I've had to date. Friday, Laura and I packed up the apartment and took a load of stuff over to the new place. It was a late night, and we had an early day for moving....
8am people showed up. More people than I expected to, actually, which made me feel pretty special, and helped the process go a lot faster than it could have gone. A special shout out to Allison and her father for providing the moving van and trailer, as well as for putting in the time to move the heavy stuff.
After the 2 trips that it took to move all of the furniture, we took a brief lunch break and planned out how we were going to tackle the rest of the stuff. We set up a few things in the new apartment (like the entertainment center), and Laura put away everything in the kitchen and made the bed (she's such a trooper). After that, we went back to the old place and empied it out completely, packing up all of the food (both frozen and non), cleaning supplies, and anything else that was left. We cleaned the place and took off back to the new place. A few people went out for food while the rest of us put away the stuff we just brought. We called it a night when food arrived, and relaxed a bit. It was about 10pm by the time we stopped (approximately a 14 hour day).
A huge thanks to Scott, Mike, Mia, and Justin for sticking with me the entire day. I could not have done this move without your help, and I know it was a long day - from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
And Laura, for being the trooper that she is, for organizing everything in the kitchen and helping out with the bedroom (not only on Saturday, but also on Friday) - I don't know what I would do without you.
Thank you everyone who helped (Erin, Allison, Allison's dad, my mother, Bill, Nate, Justin, Laura, Scott, Mike, Mia), and even to those who wanted to but could not make it. I appreciate all the help. The new place is awesome, and I will be having a house warming party after Allison's Body Shop party on Friday, November 30.
Also, I will be throwing a New Year's Party this year, so be sure to keep your calendar clear for that New Years Eve! It's going to be another blast!
