Well the time finally came for the big move. Honestly I was not as emotional as I had predicted, but as my new location sinks in, I get sad. I miss the beach, I miss the sweet southerners, and I miss my beautiful and inexpensive 1300 square foot apartment. However, I don't miss being so far from my friends/family, the extreme humidity, and the yucky sweet tea. Being up north is part of who I am and it feels like home, but Drew and I are already in talks of buying a place (closer to Wilmington) sooner then later.
Moving was awful, thank god we have the most supportive families and friends to help us (either physically or emotionally).
Dana and Alex showed up first with TONS of boxes! Buying those dang totes is super expensive and we appreciated all the free packing supplies we could get up. After doing ABSOLUTELY NO Packing and sitting on the beach all day, we decided we should reward our hard work (??) with a fancy french dinner.
Honestly, ANY excuse to put make up on and do my hair at this point is much appreciated! Sitting at home and cleaning/crafting all day isn't exactly glamourous.
I also was able to throw on my new etsy necklace, which I am completely obsessed with. I wore it with a black romper and it POPPED! I got so many compliments on this piece, get 25 dollar investment.
After Alex and Dana left, Mr. Breier, Amy, and Cory arrived to help us pack it all up! It was 95 degrees and the Penske we rented acted like a sauna! The boys worked SO hard-from 9 to 6 to get everything i've hoarded over the past year into this truck. Poor Amy slipped on one of the steps and sprained her ankle...she felt horrible and I felt worse. She was SUCH a trooper though, I would have been miserable...but she was apologizing?!?!
After all the packing we rewarded ourselves with a night out in Wilmington...our last ;-(. It was sad, but I am glad Cory was able to see it. Amy wasn't able to join us, thanks to her injury. We had our favorite Copper Penny and then we had a drink!
An 11 hour drive turned into a two day ordeal starting at 8pm Thursday and ending 11pm Friday. My parents were already here and they cleaned it and had the place all ready for us. I was EXHAUSTED, but "the crew" want to unpack, so we were up until 2 am bringing things in...I'm sure our new neighbors LOVED that.
More pictures to come of our new house, once I get everything together...but for now, here is our door (LOVE my hello sign) and my garage station! It's different and an adjustment, but as long as I have Drew everything will be great.
