Moving In

Our New Apartment!

Whew! I am so glad our big move is over. Since we just got married Drew and I had furniture, clothing, desk supplies, everything in three separate locations - My duplex (where I lived in Sherman), his mom's house, and my parent's house (most of the wedding gifts & our new purchases, like a new mattress - heavenly by the way!). So just organizing it all and getting it into the same Uhaul was a challenge. Thankfully we had some awesome friends help us along the way - Adam, Kathleen, Jeff, and Drake (thank you, thank you, thank you!). My mom also came down with us to help us get settled which was so nice! We love our new apartment.





Drew and I only had one day to look for a place to live down here in Bryan/College Station. Blessedly, we ended up here. It came with new appliances, including washer and dryer, and its only a mile from the medical school building. Drew can ride his bike to classes in under 10 minutes!





Moving all of those posessions definately made us think about what we really value and how much we really own. We know we are richly blessed - we have more than we need and enjoy alot of comfort. When I was young my family was still in the Navy mode - move every 2 years or so. It didnt really bother me at the time and I really see even more value in it now that Drew and I are a young family. Moving helps you purge. And while the process is hard, it really helps keep life more simple to have less stuff.









This is our kitchen. I really liked that it has all new appliances. Unfortunately the previous tenant forgot to clean the inside of the oven and left a terrible mess. My dear, sweet husband cleaned it up for me. Please bear in mind, all of these pictures are taken as we are moving in. We really aren't such slobs :)

We only have one bedroom; however, its so long it really serves the function of two rooms.





This side is the bedroom. Knowing we would be tired after moving, we wisely set this part up first. So it looks much less disheveled than the rest of the house.

This side is the office, even though it doesnt quite look like it.

I just thougt this one was funny. My mom was trying to get a picture of Drew "carrying me over the threshold" of our new home - so romantic, I know!
