Whoop, whoop! After 7+ hours of packing and cleaning, we’re finally resting happily at my in-laws’ (1.5 hours north of Orlando).
It was truly a long, long day! Let’s get this recap started…
Woke up early with a bit of a hangover from our going away party. When will I ever learn that 1 Glasses of Wine = Happy Caitlin and 2 = Slightly Hungover Caitlin?! Nothing that a bowl of oatmeal can’t cure (with a banana + coconut). Eaten on my mattress in the middle of my living room!
After breakfast, we headed out to pick up my car (it needed repairs before traveling 500+ miles) and then we picked up the trailer. Can you believe we packed our entire two-bedroom house in an SUV, a Civic, and a 5 by 8 trailer? Well, we did sell ALL of our furniture except two chairs!
And then we went to Dandelion CommuniTea, a vegetarian cafe. This is the Husband’s #1 favorite restaurant in all of Orlando, and he insisted we stop by “one last time.â€
He was very sad face while we waited for our order.
We both got the Bean There, Done That wrap (but he got vegan cheese and I ordered feta). It came with a side of hummus + chips.
With that full in our bellies, we started to load up the cars and the trailer. It was BLAZING hot outside and definitely counted as a workout!
In fact, I went up and down our stairs FIFTY SIX times (yes, I counted). That means I walked down (with heavy boxes) and walked back up 1,568 stairs.
All I can say is… Thank goodness we are moving to a first-floor duplex!
At some point during the move, I drank a beer and it was everything I hoped it would be!
After cleaning the apartment from top to bottom (it’s amazing how dirty stuff gets even when you’re a very clean person!), I snacked on a banana.
Once everything was loaded and cleaned, we took showers and got behind the wheels drive to my in-laws’. My driving buddy was James (by the way, the dogs were totally freaking out about the move!). We snacked on Goldfish and a lollipop as we drove.
Annnnnd once we arrived, I made Split Pea Soup (Amy’s brand) and an English muffin.
WHEW! What a day, huh? I’m exhausted, but the hard part is over – we’re driving to North Carolina and unloading on Monday. Unloading is a LOT easier than loading + cleaning! We were pretty determined to get back out $965 security deposit so it was all worth it!
If you could move anywhere, where would you go? I want to move to Hawaii!
I would move to the mountains of OR or CO. Good job on moving. My apartment is currently on the fourth floor…eight flights of stairs. I am dreading it. Enjoy the new chapter in your lives 🙂
