the move to our new pad

Turns out moving is super stressful. That being said, once things have settled down, it's easy to come to the conclusion that the reward is worth the worry and work. All of last weekend and week was consumed with painting and cleaning and picking up last minute things. Saturday and Sunday was spent moving in a Uhaul along with countless trips of very jam packed vehicles. The prep we did definitely made the move easier, as we just sort of moved things into place. The details all pieced together perfectly and we are so in love with our new home. Our couch is on back order, but we got cable today and our bed is officially the most comfortable ever - so the pros are outweighing the few cons :)

We're hoping to have friends and family over soon (although the perfectionist in me wants to wait until our couch arrives) but for all those loved ones living far away, I thought I'd share a few photos of the new pad! This is such an exciting time for D and I, and we so appreciate all the love and support we've received with regards to the move - so a heartfelt thank you.
