D-Day: Friday

It's been a while since the last post but when you hear what we've been up to, you'll understand why. We move in on Friday - this Friday - 3 days from now. While I wouldn't say the house is 'homey' quite yet, we've made a lot of progress, with the help of Craig's parents to make it at least habitable. Most notably, we have running water (including HOT water) and a working toilet. These were the prerequisites for move-in. The only ones, as you'll see. Some added benefits are the overhead lights that Craig's dad installed, the clean kitchen courtesy of Mrs. Williams and the (almost) flat yard (joint effort - mostly Craig). As usual, Craig never ceases to amaze me with what he can pull off with little or no prior experience. Re-routing all the plumping for the main floor and not a single leak -- not too bad.

This week will be spent packing up our current apartment which is a feat in itself. It's amazing how much crap you can collect in only a little over 2 years. I'll really miss our apartment (besides just a warm bed, carpeting and solid walls:). I'll miss having the water right out our back door and the Eastlake Zoo tavern right up the street. Of course I'll also miss the cheap rent. We found out last week, though, that in the next couple of months they're turning our building into condos so everyone will need to move out anyway. I guess you can say this was perfect timing...
