the BIG move
This past weekend was the BIG move into our new house!!! Hubby and I are pros at the whole moving game as we’ve moved 6 times in the 9 years we’ve lived together. And that’s not even counting all of the moves during those college years (hubby and I lived together during some of that time…that’s just a whole other story… but I digress. …meandering mind!)
What I want to tell you is that the move went just fine! Almost too easy. I kept waiting for something to go wrong; some sort of moving disaster to tend to. Our big move (2 summers ago) was filled with stories of lame moving guys that didn’t bring proper moving equipment (like truck dollies), moving guys that show up in flip flops and want you to brew hot coffee on a 90 degree day, and guys that show up late and leave early because they have somewhere else to be! (you know who you are, crazy Seattle movers!)
After all of that we were due some pro movers. And these guys delivered. They showed up on time, came prepared, and the best part was the whole job lasted only 4 hours. I would so recommend them to anyone in the area. Love-love-loved them!
Below are a few pics from the BIG day. Stay tuned for home improvement pics– we’ve been making some major changes already on the inside of the house. Well, off to unpack some boxes!
Boxes!
and Boxes!
and more Boxes!
yay for unpacking the bed
cheers to us!
I have a FO!
That’s ‘finished object’ speak in my knit-knit world!
Let me introduce you to my pretty cable scarf…
I’ve been working on my Double Cable Scarf for many, many, months now (I started this project at the end of January) and I’m happy to say it’s finally done! I actually finished it right before my SoCal trip but just got around to letting the world know :) In defense of my extremely slow knitting … I have been a little preoccupied with other knit-knit projects, my sister’s upcoming wedding, and, oh, being a new home owner! Oh, and…. a special thanks to my friend Tyna for walking me through the blocking part. This was the first item I have ever ‘blocked’ and I’m so glad I did it. I think it really evened out the stitches.
Now I get to tuck this beauty away until the weather cools down again. Like in 5 months! Can’t wear a scarf in June when the weather is 90 degrees outside. Hee. Hee.
