The Sword of Damocles has finally fallen. Our stuff came today!
When the movers called me to tell me they were outside our house, I grabbed my camera and ran to the truck. I was positively giddy. Sleeping on an air mattress for a week will do that to you.
The movers were both really nice. They made lots of comments about Mike’s bikes (I relayed the envious compliments even though I know it gives him an even more swollen ego than normal) and I bonded with the lead guy, Matthew, over our shared experiences with external fixators (aka my robot arm). He broke his hip a year ago and had one for 3 months! It made me feel lucky.
First they moved everything out of the truck and into our garage. There was a little spillover. This is when I started to realize how much unpacking lay ahead of me.
Five hours after they arrived, I started to open the boxes. I made the most progress on the kitchen. However, all the paper that they used to protect our kitchenware quickly started to add up:
Some of the labels on the boxes confused the movers. Evidently, they weren’t familiar with Mike’s habit of storing all shoes outside one’s front door:
That made me laugh.
When Mike got home, this was the first thing he did:
Now, after unpacking the kitchen and most of the bedroom, I want to do exactly the same thing.
Welcome to the adventures of Aubrey and Michael. We plan on using this blog to keep our family and friends back in California amidst on our new adventure here in Seattle Washington!
