Hi, everyone! I hope everybody had a good weekend and relaxed a little bit, at least! I was busy moving from Thursday night through Saturday morning, but I am officially moved into my very first all-by-myself apartment and I am so happy!

I actually got my keys a little earlier than I had planned, and my dad and I were here on Thursday night to move in some of my existing furniture and assembling others (like my rad TV stand and my coffee table). Then on Friday I took a half day from work to move the rest of my things in and clean the place.

Moving went pretty much without incident. There was a leak in my kitchen sink that I called maintenance about immediately and the guy who lives across the hall complained that everything smelled like Lysol (Mr. Clean, actually, dude) but the leak is fixed and it appears that nobody else was offended by my cleanliness.

I’ve had two people over to visit already (besides my family, who helped me move–thank you!) and hopefully more will come see me over the next couple of weeks. Here are a few pictures from before and during the move.

Moving made me realize that I have *a lot* of tea

I also have a lot of movies and TV-on-DVD

Oy.

It’s a good place, and I am so, so happy that I am finally here! It’s not a home yet, but I’m going to be working on it!
