A year ago, I swore I wasn't moving again for a VERY long time. Well, my mind quickly changed when the apartment complex I was living at decided to raise my {already ridiculously expensive} rent by 10%! I can't say I love apartment hunting by any means! Everything I liked was way out of my price range! After searching and searching I found my new place by fluke! It's a junior one-bedroom, which means a studio was converted into a one-bedroom. I say this was fluke because it's the only one of its kind and was just converted. It must have been a HUGE studio, because there's plenty of room for me and all of my stuff--piano included! {Pics to come.}
My Dad flew out for the weekend to help me move, and we {he} recruited some Iowa friends to help. Loading my apartment into the U-Haul wasn't bad at all...I say that because I didn't have to do any heavy lifting! By the time we got to my new apartment and started unloading, the guys were losing muscles so we called a random guy {pretty sure he wasn't legal} we met at the U-Haul store that morning, and his friend, to help. We ended up with SEVEN of us unloading and moving my piano. I'm sure it was quite the site and I really wish someone had recorded it!
I'm finally most of the way settled in! I have one box of random odds and ends left that I need to decide what to do with. Otherwise, home sweet home {for a year at least}!
