We went this morning and did all the signing for our apartment! Since we will be staying in SoCal for a couple more years before we can move into The Retirement House, we decided to rent a nice apartment in a gated community here in town. We have had a great time staying with friends over this last 6 or so weeks (Really!! - We have had fun!!), But we are looking forward to living with our own "stuff" again!
While we were there this morning we walked through the unit. Our manager is really working to have us move in on Saturday, so the carpets were cleaned last night, the painters were there today, the cleaning service will be there Friday morning and we can get in on Friday night and start the shelf paper!! They are doing the whole turn around in 3 days!! The last renters didn't get all their stuff out til Tuesday!! (Now, I ask you - who on earth moves in the middle of the week instead of on the weekend???) Anyway, the complex has a big potluck party the next Saturday, and she wanted to make sure we were in and settled before the party, so they are really going the 2nd mile!!
Back to the 100 boxes - - after looking at the apartment this morning I am having a panic attack about all those boxes and their contents!! It is a larg-ish unit - 2 bedrooms, 2 bath - 1150 sq ft - but I HAVE 100 BOXES of stuff plus the furniture!!! (Unfortunately that also means 100+ trips up the stairs to the 2nd floor! My dear husband has hired a couple of teens from church to help with the heavy stuff - Bless him!!) I surely hope I can find homes for everything in those boxes! (Did I mention we have 100 BOXES?!!!)
Oh, it will be good to sleep in my own bed again - amid the contents of 100 boxes!!

Good luck with the moving. You do know, don't you, that those boxes multiplied in the night when you weren't looking??
