This is going to be quick. I'm exhausted and have a major headache, possibly from trying to figure out how we're ever going to fit everything in our apartment! We headed out yesterday around 7:30am after getting to bed around 2 following our going-away party.
The cats did much better than we thought
they would in the truck, although we were all a little antsy (OK, and some of us tearfully exhausted) by the time we spent 18 hours driving (mostly through torrential downpours; on a brighter note, we saw a double rainbow!) and finally arrived around 3:30am. Then we slept for a few hours, and got up and unpacked the truck. We dropped our moving truck off and then walked around the Capitol Hill neighborhood, which we're getting very excited to become a part of. We had dinner at the
Banana Cafe [warning: loud salsa music on the homepage] which was very good and then we came home and took a nap, sleeping as soundly as I can remember doing for a long time.
So...we're making an appreciable dent in the boxes, Matt has gotten most of the furniture together, and our kitchen cabinets are already almost full...with several boxes left to unpack, as well as no real food in there yet to speak of. The apartment is even smaller than we remembered, but I think we'll learn valuable lessons about how much (in terms of both space and
things) we really need. We've already come across so many things we're interested in doing and seeing, and I think it will be a really exciting chapter in our lives. I still get a little teary talking to my parents, or going through the wonderful cards and gifts from the co-workers who threw me such a superb going-away party on Thursday, but on the whole, we're feeling very optimistic.
