All in...

So as you can see from the preceding photos, we are all moved in to the new place. Nice and big, tons of space, we are feeling more like we are living in a proper home now - in the immortal words of Jared, "This place is more fitting to your socio-economic status."

The cats are taking the move very differently - Ainsley is in heaven, Silvio is in hell. Ainsley runs and jumps and sniffs every box, Silvio barely leaves the confines of the underside of the bed. Hopefully he will come out of his funk soon.

The move itself was tougher than I anticipated. I had Janja Weed (see previous post) and Jared helping me in the morning, then Lenny came along in the afternoon to lend a hand. We had to shlep 2 truckoads rather than the 1 I thought we would need. There was a TON more stuff than I ever imagined!! We started moving at 7am, didn't finish until 4pm or so. Needless to say, my arms are still recovering...sore doesn't begin to describe it!

Bottom line - we are here, we are happy, and we couldn't have done it without a TON of help from our friends. Now all that lies before us is the daunting task of getting unpacked....so many boxes....*sniff*
