So Nick and I just made the move to Phoenix, Damn it's hot here! It really is, at least 10 degrees and my pastey white skin can't handle it ;)
So we have great friends that showed up to help us move while I was finishing up my last day at work. Dave saved us, he was over most of the day helping Nick (On his day off) with the heavy stuff, I think we would still be loading the van if it wasn't for him. Then Grant, Charlie, and Lisa came over to help paint over the green on the wall and put the last of the stuff in the truck...we have WAY to much stuff and I'm turning into my hoarding mother. Love you Mom! ;) We rented the largest moving van they had! We only had a large one bedroom and the truck we ended up with is for a 3-4 bedroom house what the heck!!! So, needless to say we are joining the neighborhood garage sale next weekend. Don't worry Jane there probably isn't anything you want.
So we get into Phoenix at about 8:30 - 9:00 at night after loading and cleaning all day and then we had to unload the truck by ourselves because the truck was due back at 7:30 the next morning! We stayed up as late as we could but we were exhausted, Nick more than myself because he had already been moving all day while I was at work. We got up the next morning at 5:00 am to finish unloading the truck and barely made it to the drop off in time otherwise they charge you for being late. I hate moving, first of all I never want to know how heavy the sofa is nor how aqward the armware is to move again...we are never moving again.
The house we are renting was built in 1916 and is in a really cute historic district in down town Phoenix and I love it...not so much at first because there were lots of problems but we are finally setteling in now.
I have lots of plans for this house, the backyard is a dirt lot and the blue paint on the front of the house has got to go. I know it's not ours but I'm going to be happy while I'm here and they already said I could do what ever...they may take that back later we'll see.
I have already started making curtains, and we LOVE IKEA! Nick starts school here in a couple of weeks and I came home today after work and Nick made his very first batch of home made cookies from a recipet all by himself...I'm so proud and there wasn't even a fire ;)
