Deja Vu

In looking back at my previous posts (and because I don't post often, there aren't many to look at) I've realized the majority of them are about moving, packing, unpacking and new places. CRAZY ENOUGH we've moved again. Just from an apartment to a house, but it involved packing and boxes and deep cleaning and all that crappy stuff moving involves, but this time, and for the first time EVER, it involved a beautiful thing: Our move involved m-o-v-e-r-s. Glorious movers. We were only moving across town, but we were going from a 3rd floor apartment (with a 4th floor loft) to a house, and considering that this made our 10th move in 2 or 3 years, we decided to give ourselves the gift of hired movers. We will NEVER go back to moving couches, beds, dressers, tables, desks, bikes, mattresses, a ridiculous amount of clothes, and a full kitchen with just the two of us ever again.

Hopefully.

So, long story short, we're finally in a house with a yard, a two-car garage, a couple bedrooms, a sidewalk, a driveway, a regular sized dishwasher, a regular sized washing machine and dryer, a regular sized oven, a SINGLE MAILBOX, and no flight (or 4 flights) of stairs leading to our home. Carrying groceries from the car to the house has never been so fun. It really can't get any better than that!

Pictures to come.

In other news, we've been enjoying Boise's awesome weather. After living in rainy Portland for a few years, I don't believe we will take the sun for granted again! Although, we do miss quite a few things about that rainy city...

And we are sooooo looking forward to the first summer in forever that we can have fun together! Last summer, Nate spent about 12 hours a day studying for the Idaho Bar Exam. The summer before that, he spent the same amount of time studying for the Oregon Bar Exam. The summer before that, he was still in Law School. The summers before that, we were just friends :) So, summer 2010 will be a good one!! Woohoo!

I can't promise, but I hope, hope, hope and pray that this is the last "moving" post for . . . a long while . . .
