Moving Weekend!

Well the weekend went better than I had ever hoped! Mama and I went to pick up the big truck on Thursday and got it home and loaded without any major issues, so we were pretty close to ready to roll by the time Papa got home. I dropped Layla off at Lauren's because Hunter agreed to watch her this weekend (and next week while we are at Salkehatchie), so all that was left to do was get our La Bamba fix and hit the road. Went went all the way to Brunswick, GA on Thursday night so that our drive on Friday wouldn't be so bad and so that we would have time Friday afternoon to start unpacking. When we got there the lease was all drawn up and ready to sign...all 20 pages of it!! but we got the keys, the gate card, and learned how to use the alarm system and then we were ready to go. However, by this point it was raining so we hit up chic-fil-a for some late lunch and then headed back. We started by getting everything out of the truck that we brought down except the mattresses. Then it was time for Ikea!! haha however the first trip was a stressful one since we got there with only like 2 hours to get all the stuff we needed. But we did get it all, including the couch and my new bed! We put the couch together first because it was the biggest piece with the most steps and it took all 4 of us but we got it done. everything else went very smoothly! My family was such a great help and we are now all very handy with an Allen wrench! :) We were done with everything but the decorating by Saturday afternoon which of course meant another Ikea trip and a Target trip. In between there we had an interesting adventure to return the Penske truck where we got to see a side of Orlando that I will probably never visit again! When we got back we all got to take a shower and put on clean clothes and we went to dinner at the carrabas thats really close to my place. The only thing left to do on Sunday morning was hang the curtain in the living room which proved to be slightly frustrating but Mama and Papa got it done! Then it was time to hop in the Hybrid and head home. Now everything will be in place for when I get there in two weeks and I am so grateful for that! I have a wonderful family!!

And now for some pictures:
