We Moved!

We are all moved in! We met the movers Sunday morning and got all of our stuff (which surprisingly all survived really well except for one drinking glass casualty). However, when we got here on Sunday, we realized how dirty the apartment was. I don't think the people before us cleaned at all in the 3 years they lived here and certainly didn't clean for us to move in. That means that we had to leave all our stuff in boxes until we could clean enough to unpack. Everything is covered in a thick layer of scum - the walls, the molding, the baseboards, the blinds. Every square inch of this place needs to be scrubbed. So it's slow going, but I spent two full days on the kitchen/dining area and bathroom, and they're all unpacked now.

Yesterday I got a lot of the living room organized, but it's still not clean yet. We're also in transition of deciding what we want to keep and what goes so there's piles all over. The couch wouldn't fit in the door of the apartment so it's sitting in our shed. We posted it on Craigslist so hopefully we can get rid of it soon.

The bedroom is still a disaster so I didn't post any pictures of that yet. However, I did fit all our clothes into closets which took a lot of creativity. Vic's clothes are in our bedroom closet and mine are in the hall closet. The closets are small but really deep so I had to strategize where to put which clothes. Anyway, here are some pics to satisfy for the time being. I'll post more when we're really settled in and probably after a few trips to IKEA.
