I am back in the Bay for my last few chores, appointments and nights out with my girlfriends!
This past weekend was a hug blur!
I got off work on Friday and headed straight home to start packing
{yes, I waited until the last minute to pack}
We loaded up the U-Haul with the couch, dresser and some other big things and then padded everything down with a million and 1 boxes and suitcases
We woke up early on Saturday and headed on the road, mom driving the U-haul, me tailing behind her in our Lexus
We stopped at Sweeter's house to pick up a dresser, bookshelf, side table and all of his gear
Loaded it all into the U-Haul
Sweeter's Dad drove the U-Haul all of the way down
Sweeter's Mom drove their Suburban
Mom and I drove our Lexus
It took us a whopping 12 hours to get to our apartment!
We stopped a couple of times for potty breaks and snacks
Once for lunch and that was it!
We ended up hitting some traffic and the U-Haul can really only go about 65 mph...eek!
It was a long long day!
We stopped at Sweeter's storage unit to get the bed frame, box spring, some of his clothes and kitchen supplies.
Mom and I went to meet up with my cousin because she picked up our keys since we would get to the apartment too late for the office to be open. Then we drove over to the apartment.
It is small, I knew this, and it is very cute!
I know that we will be happy there!
So we got there around 8:00ish, and we unloaded.
We had 5 constant hands and then at one point some of the neighbors offered to help us out
We brought a couch that my mom and I have had since I was in Elementary School...we love the couch. And no matter what angle we tried, we couldn't get the couch in the d**n door! Mom can't part with it so it is sitting in our apartment garage and Sweeter and I will need to figure out a way to get it back up north! Eek!
Aside from the couch debacle we got the U-Haul unloaded in an hour!
Schweet!
We decided to go to dinner since it was 9:30 and unload our cars on Sunday.
Mom and I slept in the apartment..it is nice and quiet...we heard the train go by once, so I hope that doesn't end up being a problem...we will see!
It was nice because mom and I had a little slumber party!
It was a lot of fun!
We stayed up late laughing and chatting!
It was much needed!!
Sunday we all finished unloading the car.
Sweeter's parents hit the road around 10 and mom and I stayed to visit with my Uncle, Cousin, Grandparents and mom's friend from Elementary School {mom grew up down there}
Mom and I unloaded a lot of stuff and put a lot away
{we decided to wait for Sweeter to come home to help with the rest of it :-)}
We went to lunch and we headed back North around 3:15.
It was a whirlwind weekend!! Not even 24 hours! Wowza!
Yesterday I went to visit one of my best friends in her classroom.
She is a 1st grade teacher!
Oh my gosh, she is such a natural!
I helped her prep for some of the testing that she needs to do. I am glad that I was able to help!
Then we went home and did back-rubs and ate dinner
Today we are going to look at Wedding Favors!
I am excited to see Friendoodle!
And tonight is my last CCD {tear}
Tomorrow I am getting groomed...haircut and the whole 9-yards
And then I am celebrating my new adventure with my girlfriends at American Cupcake!
Thursday I hit the road for good!
Thursday is also when the guest posts start!
I am soo excited for this adventure!
Ha! This will make you smile! I promise!

Glad your move went well, sorry the couch didn't fit in the door. I hate when you hit little bumps like that.
I love Apples to Apples!
Does the couch come apart at all? I inherited an old couch from my Nana and our entryway is so small the movers had to unscrew the sides and bring it into the apt in pieces to re-assemble it. I didn't even know it could DO that!! LOL
P.S. - looove Apples to Apples
