And we're in...

Whew! That was a long weekend, and boy do I have a ways to go! As you know, on Saturday we moved into the new house. We hired movers. Best decision ever. I think if we didn't end up hiring movers, we would still be moving today. They were seriously awesome and super friendly and hard-working! They really saved the day for us!

The day started around 9 am and they were done by 4. They had to move 2 apartments (1 on the third floor) and a storage unit. We just sat back and watched them move! They had the whole truck loaded by noon, and after lunch we headed over to the new house. When we got there, my parents and my friends Stephanie and Jason had arrived to help. They all came up from Cape G, which was so nice of them! We all helped unload boxes and they really helped move the process along. Amanda came by as well...she had been watching Cocoa for me during the move (a life saver) and brought her back to the new house and unloaded some boxes for us. I am so thankful to have such wonderful friends and parents!! Afterwards we went out to eat at J. Bucks downtown. We had a wonderful dinner (thanks to my parents!) that ended with "the Big Freese." It's cookie, ice cream, oreos, ice cream, and another cookie. It was huge! The description said it would feed 2-4 people...umm...try 7!

I can't believe we are finally here. It's such a great house and location and I feel so lucky to be able to live here. However, I am going to miss Chesterfield, where I spent about 9 months of my life.

It was such a nice area...very safe and clean. 


It had a nice, wooded view.


Beautiful trees! (see Cocoa for scale)



It was very spacious (for a one bedroom) and had the perfect dining room/bedroom for me to live in.


Mess before the move! And a view of my dining room/bedroom.


I am especially going to miss these 2! We became great friends over the course of the Bachelorette. But, they will hopefully be moving to city soon, and we will for sure stay friends, despite the slight distance.

Now it's on the aftermath of the move...








My goal is to get rid of about half of my stuff. I'll let you know how it goes.
