If you’re going to move, this is the way to do it.
It’s Spring Break this week and we already brought over a lot of our clothes and much of the fragile and awkward stuff in the car yesterday. My wife is amazing when it comes to figuring out where everything goes and getting everything unpacked and put up.
This morning, we picked up the truck and had a few friends (who we bribed with pizza, of course) show up to help. We had everything moved by about 11:00 when my parents showed up with pizza for everyone. Soon after, Ceecee had everything unpacked and you truly couldn’t tell that we had just moved in that morning.
When I took the truck back mid-afternoon, I stopped at the wine store and picked up a bottle of Champagne (as in real Champagne from France, not the fake California stuff). I also got some strawberries, and you know where this is going….
The day Ceecee left me, when she moved into the old loft, she wanted Champagne and strawberries to celebrate with. I didn’t understand that then, and I probably never will, but the fact that she wants to share them with me tonight, on the first night living in our new place means more than I can say.
We’re also going to take in our first opera tonight at a downtown theater about a block from our new loft. This is the life we’ve dreamed of!
