Moving Day... Wahoo

We finally made it. After just over 3 weeks in Vancouver, we finally got to move into the apartment. It seems a bit strange that I'm moving back into the same apartment building, but in a different apartment with a different layout. There are more windows and being on the ground floor, we have access to an outdoor space that has grass and room to move around. Barbeques in the summer are going to be great!

We got the keys on the 31st and bought a whole whack of cleaning stuff. After sterilizing the kitchen and bathroom ~ you might have thought we were in Code Red with the smell of bleach ~ we were ready for the movers who were coming between 9 and 9:30 on Saturday.

It took the guys just under 2hrs to drop off all of the goodies, but I can defintely tell you it has taken more than 2hrs to put all the stuff away! My god... here is what the place looked like during the first few hours. The photos were not of great quality as we had to use the phone, still no charging of the camera battery.

The place empty...

First things moved ~ Akis is so excited, he is helping the movers bring stuff in. Nice hat!

Marking off the boxes as they come in:


Our chaos...



Our lunch break ~ precooked Safeway chicken and those bagged salads. How could you possibly go wrong with that?!?



Overall, 4 days later, things are starting to come together. I have fought with Telus, but we now have phone and internet. TV will have to wait until next week, but that is OK, I should be looking for a job, or unpacking a box anyway. We seem to be able to find many things that we 'feel' we need when we are out... a mat for the door, new curtains for the windows as the ones with the apartment have a hem that is stapled... you know, general things. But all in all, we like where we are and now I just need to find a job so that we are able to stay here! :)
