Moving In

A long overdue post!

After our 11 Day road trip and a week stay in Dallas, we finally head to Austin 18 days after leaving Rhode Island. We had shipped Nicholas' truck to Dallas through an auto transport company, so we both drove in separate cars. We stopped for lunch and gas in West, Texas, home of The Czech Stop. A must stop on the drive between Dallas and Austin for yummy kolaches.

We arrived in Austin around 4pm. Nicholas' mom met us at our house. Our PODS was waiting in the driveway. We opened it up to check on things, and then started unloading. Nicholas' dad came by after work, and we were finished unloading by 6:30pm!

This is the PODS about 1/4 of the way emptied. This is pretty much how it looked until the end...like a Tetris game!
I didn't take many pictures of the unloading process. It went so quickly!
This is moving the bed up the stairs into our room. Why don't they always put handles on mattresses?

After we finished we went out for dinner and stayed the night at Nicholas' parents house so we could do laundry, and I could use their Internet to work. Moving is exhausting work! We have everything out of boxes except stuff from Nicholas' studio. That's in our GARAGE! It looks like all the glass torsos survived the trip, unscathed, thanks to egg crate foam from the Eide's! We have only found 2 things that broke, which is pretty amazing consider half the PODS was filled with glass. We are continuing to arrange things, but haven't gotten to hanging pictures on the wall, yet. More house pictures to come.
