WE ARE FINALLY IN THE NEW APARTMENT!
The move was epic. First, we found a great deal on new desks. (The mega-desk sharing was not going well... Henry took over the whole office most of the year.) We found them on Craig's list. At first, they looked really sketch. They resembled dorm desks, so we hypothesized that someone had pinched them from the University and were trying to make a profit. We called the lister to see what the story was. Lucky for us, they were not black market dorm desks but rather old sorority desks from the tri-delta house! They are solid wood (no particle board here) and super sturdy. What a great find! As if gaining that story wasn't enough, we can now tell future generations that we once moved all our possessions in walmart bags (plastic and fabric) and three rubbermaid tubs and a few laundry baskets. It took multiple multiple trips, but it felt good to stick it to over-priced cardboard moving boxes. The smaller bags also meant we were less likely to hurt ourselves carrying overstuffed boxes. All in all, I'd say it was pretty convenient. (Disclaimer: we had a u-haul for our furniture. The couch was not going in the car.)
We are entirely out of Aiken Village and mostly settled in the new apartment. I have already used the dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, and ice maker. Oh how I took these things for granted.
