Move Completed!

Well, almost completed. We've still got a pickup truck to unload and a ton of boxes to unpack. Zulu is finally starting to feel a little more comfortable in the new digs. She likes hanging out on the futon mattress, which is on top of a chair right now. Once she adjusts to her new surroundings, she'll love it. There's a lot more room for her to explore, and there are many more windows for her to stretch out in front of.

The move went very smoothly. We were crossing our fingers that the weather forecast would be accurate- one day of dry, mild weather, amidst rainy ones. We picked the truck up around 9 AM, and it was a tad bit chilly early on- it ended up being a beautiful day, though. Tedward, Schwei, and Krengel were a big help, and it was a pretty painless experience. Hoisting the boxspring and mattress up onto the roof in order to get them into the bedroom was an interesting experience, but not very difficult- the fact that Joe is tall (6'5"?) certainly helped. We were a little concerned about getting the couch in through the front door, but it snuck right through, with about a half inch to spare on each side.

Now, the task at hand is to try and make the place feel like it's ours. We're limited in what we can do in the way of rearranging, so I'm sure most people will walk in and feel like they're at Joy & Matt's place. The life-sized Ozzy Osbourne posters I'm putting up in every room might help, though.
