Move-In Weekend

Guess what happened last weekend? We finally moved into our apartment! After a week in the classy (or not so classy) Extended Stay America hotel and a few days in Days Inn, we were seriously ready to call somewhere home. And home, for me, had to be somewhere that didn't reek like trucker's feet and sweaty pits. We certainly lucked out with our apartment because the only smell was quite pleasant... the smell of brand new carpet!

The night we moved in, our moving service--Wagley's on Wheels, aka my family--came in with two carloads of our stuff. It was a miracle they arrived that night because my Dad & Jonathan had a tire blowout in a construction zone on the freeway and my Mom's brakes decided to seize up and make this awful screeching noise. Needless to say, we were all very grateful when they finally made it in safe and sound around 11pm. We had a fun sleepover that night with four air mattresses... these air mattresses were our only furniture for a week, so we're kind of attached to them. Here's the living room all decked out.



The rest of the weekend was a lot of fun with the family. They helped us get a ton of stuff ready for the apartment and we could not be more grateful. Quin & I took them to our farmer's market, which is always a blast. Below are some pictures of our adventures...

These other pictures are just from the rest of the trip. We are again so thankful to have had their help! It made the move-in easy. Now I wish they would move here. Maybe someday?


Cutest bun ever? Yes.
