The move has officially concluded. At least for Justin. We filled the van for the second time with boxes and stuff, brought it down to Longmont on Friday night after work. It took a looong time to get there due to a few wrong turns. But we unloaded and went back up to Fort Collins so we would have enough sleep before our moving helpers arrived.
Saturday morning bright and “early” (9:00) one of my teacher friends Janet arrived with her husband in a suburban pulling an amazing trailer. We started to fill the trailer with furniture from Justin’s apartment and then Gabe & James arrived to help us finished the loading and with the jigsaw puzzle that it took to make everything fit. Our final helper arrived just after everything was packed and ready to go. The guys drove down to help unload and Janet w/ the trailer followed Justin & I to the new apartment. We made quick work unloading the trailer and while we waited for the lasagna to finish cooking the boys set up the most important part of the house (the video games/tv) and played Little Big Planet for a bit. After we ate the helpers left and Justin & I did a little more unpacking and arranging in the kitchen. Before bedtime Justin had to make sure his computer was online and ready to go.
Even with everything moved out of the old apartment we still had a lot of work to do on Sunday. Justin & I went back up to Fort Collins to clean out the old apartment and get it ready for the officially turning in of the keys. We left around 9:00 this morning took a break for lunch and to buy more cleaning supplies around 2:00 and finally finished the last of the cleaning a little after 6:00. I must say we did a good job (now that Justin has shown me he is capable, he will not be getting out of cleaning the bathroom or the kitchen).
Still a long way to go with the unpacking and making the place livable. Justin is trying to get the wireless to work and has been disappointed by that many times since we got back to the apartment this evening. He’s walking around hrrumphing, it’s vaguely amusing, but mostly I’ll be glad when it’s all set up so we can get back to watching TV via the playstation.
Time for popcorn. Keep sending in your RSVPs!
Yippee Skippee!! It certainly was moving weekend this weekend!! As for the wireless, Alyssa told me that even I could setup the wireless internet. =)
Operator error?
