We're In!

Wow, what an eventful weekend. We moved out of one place and into another by ourselves. I can't believe how amazing it is at the Nelson and how everything has fallen into place here. It is turning out beautiful. I am going to wait to post pictures until things look a little nicer, but it is shaping up to be fantastic!

Friday -- Moving Day: It was a very stressful move. Even though Matt woke up early on Tuesday to go to the police station for an "Emergency No Parking" sign to reserve a spot for our moving truck, of course people still parked in our spot. So, we lost a lot of time waiting around for them to either 1) move or 2) be towed. Lucky for them, their car was simply dropped off at a new location in the neighborhood rather than taken to an impound lot.

While Matt was driving around the block so as not to block traffic while waiting for our spot to open up, he clipped a side mirror on a van with the Budget truck. He very generously left an apologetic note with our contact information. I think the people who parked in our spot should have to pay for it. No damage to the Budget truck, just the other van. Narrow city streets and big moving trucks just don't mix well.

Saturday -- Unpacking / Boston House: Saturday I spent half the day unpacking at the Nelson and the other half cleaning the old apartment. We had to rent a Zipcar to move our dining room table, because we didn't have the right tools with us on Friday to take it apart to get it through the door. Also, I had committed the cardinal sin of moving, I didn't take every last bit with us while we had the moving truck, so we had several boxes left to bring too.

Sunday -- Sorting / More Boston House: All the boxes are unpacked as of Sunday, and things are in general order. I was able to find someone to pick up a whole bunch of little stuff that we weren't able to sell. I also cleaned the Boston House some more. For one last hoorah at the Boston House, Matt and I had a lovely dinner from Thaiphoon on the roof.

At the Nelson, we still have plenty of stuff to do, but I am in awe of how beautiful it is turning out. My vision is becoming a reality, and I can't wait to show you...
