The Great Move

The very last day of Drew's first year of med school, the day of his final exam, we finished boxing up and prepared to move to Temple. We are only living in Temple for 10 weeks before moving back to Bryan. Some friends of our were super generous and allowed us to use their guest room to store most of our possessions. The home we are staying in here in Temple is fully furnished, so we didn't have to bring much beyond clothing and toiletries.

So Drew got home from his final exam and helped me finish boxing. We took a much needed break to go to his M1 class party. They had a crawfish boil, swimming, music, etc. It was alot of fun and we regretted that we couldn't stay out longer. We went back home and stayed up til 3am to get 90% of the boxing done.
The next day several very kind friends came over to help us move. They loaded up the Uhaul twice and had the entire contents of our apartment cleared out, cleaned, and in the guest room at our friends house by 3pm! We were all so exhausted and thankful to be done.

Drew and I loaded up the items we were taking to Temple in our rental car. Because ours was still in the shop. When we were packing we just put everything in boxes according to where they
were already in our house, so the few items we needed in Temple were mixed in boxes with other items we didn't need, so we ended up taking alot more with us, than I thought we would.

We were so exhausted and so hungry when we got to Temple at 10pm. Thankfully, we found a Chili's that was open til 11pm. We got food and what tasted like the best margaritas we had ever had.

Here are a few shots of the move:
