After a pretty terrible moving experience, (Movers to show up between 1-3 but don't and we don't hear from anyone until 7pm after calling and calling and calling! That, and our previous landlords calling to whine that I needed to come back over and *dust the walls.* WTF!) we are now completely moved in and most everything is put away. It took movers, a Uhaul, and about 20 car trips (thank goodness Andy could take a day off and work all day) to get everything. We've made a few ikea trips for shelving for the basement, Andy's new desk, and a few odds and ends. We've also made about 10 trips to Goodwill. It is amazing how much crap we have that we don't use and don't need. We set up the shelves in the basement and they are now our overflow pantry and canning supply area as well as a place to store extra dishes. Andy was able to hang all the camping stuff so that is off the floor. There are a few more items to deal with and things to put away, but we are on our way. So far, I am really liking the house. I sometimes think we should have held out for something a little larger, but when I can walk to the grocery store, the farmer's market, countless restaurants and bars, the bank, and a ton of other places, I feel like we picked a great location. I'll probably always want to live in this area of Seattle it is that great.
Cable guy is here today as well as the electrician. Progress!
