Moving Day! Weekend! Week!
Since we were lucky enough to have our move professionally
handled and paid for as a part of our relocation package, we thought this move
would be a breeze. We thought wrong. It
turns out, that while our movers were amazing at packing and lifting boxes
(we’d highly recommend Collins Brothers Movers), the process of moving from a 2
room apartment to a 7 room apartment (plus a porch and a deck) is quite an
undertaking. In just a few Saturdays, we have made 2 trips to Ikea, 3 trips to
Walmart and 6; yes SIX, trips to Home Depot. Those shopping trips included
feasts of Swedish meatballs, taking apart a grill using a penny and a dime to
fit in our car, and a semi-romantic viewing of town fireworks – from a Walmart
parking lot, alongside an Uncle Si local lookalike.

And I don’t think that we are close to finished. The good news is that all of our moving boxes are empty, the kitchen is officially open, and we toasted our very first bubbly in our banlieue of Branford. Here's to many, many more flutes (or solo cups) of champers.
