Our living room is filled with boxes. Some full, some partially emptied, some waiting to be broken down and taken out to the recycling…but it’s still a lot of boxes. Most of mine are still over at my old apartment, too. Uff.
The end result is going to be nice, but man is moving a pain in the butt.
Anyway. :) A quick recap, somewhat brief because I’m hot, tired, and fighting off a cold (which I’m going to blame on my little brother):
The weekend with my family was great. We hadn’t had a chance to have the whole family together since Kev and Emily got married about a year and a half ago, this was the first chance I’d had to meet my nephew Noah, and this was the first time Prairie was around my family as a whole — while she’d met Mom, Dad and Kevin before, it had always been separately as one or another of them was stopping through Seattle on a trip.
Noah’s a great little kid, too. Thirteen months old, and out to explore everything. Pictures from the weekend are, as usual, uploaded to Flickr.
Monday morning Prairie and I got up early, hopped in the car, and came back to Seattle. I crashed out at my apartment for a few hours while Prairie went off to the first day at her new job, and then we headed out to Ellensburg that night. Got up the next morning and managed to get her entire apartment packed into her dad’s truck and a U-Haul in just a few hours. We caravanned back to Seattle with me in front driving the U-Haul, Prairie following me in her car, and her dad behind us in his truck, corralled K, H, and P into helping us unload, and dumped everything into the new apartment. While Prairie and K got a few things organized and cleared a little workspace, the rest of us went over to my place to grab a full load. Back again, another round of unloading, and then we declared ourselves done for the day.
Now we’re in the process of getting everything unpacked, sorted, assembled, and put into its proper spot. I think this place is going to be a really nice little apartment once it’s all done…but we’ve got another few days worth of work to do before it’s really going to be ready.
So, things have been and continue to be busy here. More updates as time and energy allow.
