Let The Unpacking Begin!

A few days after we moved in Justin was able to get our table set up. It is a little tight but it's manageable. 

Justin is enjoying the glass top stove

Oliver on the table...even though he isn't allowed on the table

 We didn't have enough counter space for the toaster so this metal rack was our solution

 Before we set up the rack we had the toaster in front of the microwave temporarily. The green boxes are temporarily holding our Tupperware. 

Bedroom is getting there. Like our mismatched nightstands? :)

The blue chair will be moved out of the living room eventually

How we decided to set up our tv. I wish it could be centered but we didn't want to block the window. So far it seems to be perfectly fine in the corner. 

Oliver enjoying a window near the couch. He can lounge on his blanket while he looks outside. 

One downside to our new place is the bathroom. It is incredibly small. We have had to be creative with storage.

Oliver started chewing this poor plant! We have moved it up high where he can't eat it anymore. I hope it will recover

 Getting books onto the bookshelves has helped a lot in making this new place feel cozier

I'm very picky on how the books are arranged

 working on filling this shelf

the pantry closet became another catch all for boxes. Slowly clearing it out

The second bedroom is looking much better after several days of unpacking!

Our rabbit Percy turned 4 years old this month!

Oliver snoozing on the window sill.

I'm eagerly looking forward to the end of the unpacking.

Moving Day

 

During the end of March we packed up all of our belongings and moved to a new apartment

 It was weird to see our home slowly become filled with boxes as the walls and shelves became bare

 Being in the awkward transition of packing was stressful. Our home wasn't cozy anymore.

We took 2 days to move everything. On Friday we moved all of the furniture and spent Saturday packing the final items and getting the new place livable

It was a blessing to have our family and church friends help us out

 We couldn't have done it without them

 I was happy though to throw out so much junk and clutter

One of our friends from church setting boxes up

 It was weird to see the fridge with no magnets on it!

My husband's aunt was such a big help! 

Setting up the dressers in the new bedroom

 

Our rabbit patiently waiting in a pet crate. We set up his cage as quickly as possible. He did really well during the whole moving process!

 Our bedroom has no closet, but this wardrobe came with the new place. We had the difficult task of moving it into the master bedroom from the spare room

Sure enough though it got stuck in the kitchen. This wardrobe is huge so we weren't surprised it got stuck

We moved this gigantic beast into the living room temporarily. 

Thanks to blood, sweat, tears and pure determination my husband, his dad and his uncle and cousins were finally able to wrangle the wardrobe into the master bedroom the next day

Inside the wardrobe

Oliver likes to climb into it 

The 2nd bedroom is the holding room for all the boxes

Percy all cozy in his cage. 

 So much stuff to unpack, junk to toss and clutter to clear out.

 Our new kitchen has significantly less cabinets than our old apartment's kitchen.

 I was thankful we were able to bring my hutch. It gives more storage space.

The stove and fridge.

Our first breakfast in our new place. Pancakes!

 Our makeshift table for breakfast

It was pretty good

The livingroom

 Oliver was following me everywhere

 He was super clingy the first week we moved in but is now back to normal.

So we are officially moved in. 

Now to tackle the task of unpacking!

We Are Moving!

I have packed the essentials!

We are currently in the process of moving to a new apartment. It's bittersweet to say goodbye to our first home that we have shared together for the beginning of our marriage.

 

 We have been packing and packing. Six bookshelves means a lot of books to go through. I've let go of 30 books so far.

Boxes everywhere.

Still have three more bookshelves to pack

 Oliver is "helping". He is enjoying sniffing everything and exploring the boxes. I hope he doesn't take too long to adjust to the new place. 

I will be posting some photos of our new place after we move in!

Love, Rebecca
