We Now Return To Our Previously Scheduled Wedding Planning
Some of you may already know, but yesterday, Mary and I moved into our new home! The day started at 8:30am at my sister's place so the movers could pick up all my boxes, my dresser, tv, chair, bar, computer(s) etc. That took just less than an hour, but after the first few boxes were loaded, I could already tell that I would be very thankful for hiring movers by the end of the day.

The movers and I then headed to Mary's apartment, we got there just before 10:00am. With the exception of a dresser, everything in Mary's apartment got moved! Bentley was there and he was very confused with all the people coming and going. The boxes weren't too bad. The difficult items were Mary's couch (with two built-in recliners) and her love seat with a pull-out bed. Both were really heavy! Fortunately, Mary lived on ground level with only three small steps. After another hour and a half or so, it was off to the condo.
It was at that point that I was REALLY glad we hired movers. They had to carry everything up the back stairway to our second floor unit. After about two-thirds of our things were moved in, it started to rain...a lot! All the furniture was covered and the the contents of the boxes were all fine. For the most part, everything went great (one small bookshelf incident), and after five hours, everything was moved in!

Mary, her Dad and I went to grab a quick bite to eat before retrieving Bentley from Mary's apartment to finally bring him "home." We unpacked and organized things for several hours before finally retiring for the evening with a bottle of champagne and a frozen pizza! Now that floor-refinishing, cleaning and moving is over, we can get back to the task at hand. Only two and half weeks to go!!
