The Move and Apartment Life

Well, this post is way overdue.  Casey and I are officially out of the house and in the apartment.  The move itself could not have gone any easier.  We hired a local Dripping Springs Company to do our move and they were on time, extremely professional, and nothing was broken.  I call that a win in my book!!  They showed up around 8:45 the morning of the 2nd, and got started right away.  They loaded all of the stuff that was going to the apartment first, then the stuff that was going to storage.  Of course, we have too much crap, so we had to take one load to the storage, then went ahead and went to the apartment, and then back to the house to load up the rest of the stuff to go to storage.  My mom and dad also came up for the weekend to help us out.

 Last Night in the House

Movers hard at work (being supervised by dad).....Poor Movers haha

Saturday night we went back to the apartment to work on unpacking.  And let me just tell you, I should have paid more attention to the cabinet space in the kitchen at the apartment.  WOAH!  There are really like 3 cabinets to put everything in, and a bank of drawers.  I definitely over packed for the kitchen.  We ended up  having to pack two boxes of stuff up to take back to storage.  Whoops!  You live and you learn.  After this last weekend, we finally got everything put in its place.   Murphy is very confused about his new living situation.  And this coming up Friday, we will be bringing Ruby home after her 4 month stint at bird dog school.  It will be tight quarters for the next 6 months but I just told Casey that we would view this as an "adventure".

The chaos at the apartment

This move was very bittersweet for me.  I am extremely excited about the new house, however, leaving the Catalina home was so sad.  Casey and I have a ton of amazing memories in this house.  We decided to build the house before we were married (or even engaged) and I remember being so scared about that decision.  However, I knew deep down that I loved that man more than anything and God had a way of putting my mind at ease.  Speaking of getting engaged, we got engaged in this house.  I came home from work one day and Casey was waiting on me in the living room to propose.  We planned a wedding in this house, found out we were pregnant in this house, and recovered from the loss of a baby in this house.  We also had some of the best neighbors that we could have asked for while we lived here.  What an amazing first house for us as a couple!!!  We will miss it terribly, but are so excited about what the future holds.
