The Big Move!

Moving day!  The weekend we moved was jam packed of activities.  After we closed on Friday, Frank had flight lessons and Jess had class (for her trip to China).  We all stayed at the condo that night, since it was going to be late when we all got home.

Saturday we spent at the new house doing some heavy duty cleaning.  We focused on the kitchen and lower level, since that's where we'd be living at first.  I brought a slew of supplies and they were based on the bar downstairs...

Here's Frank and Kevin setting up the rug shampoo-er.  We did that with all the carpet downstairs since we'd be using it when we first moved it.  We didn't do the upstairs, since those will be ripped out anyway.

 After all the cleaning, we needed a bite to eat and a water break!

We were at the house for about 11 hours when all was said and done.  Since it was cinco de mayo that day, we celebrated a successful day with some margaritas afterwards.

The next day (Sunday) was the big move.  We hired movers which were definitely a great deal and well worth it.  Our tree was still in full bloom and beautiful!

The whole move took about 5 hours.  We cleaned out the final bits from our condo, and were all set!  Let the renovations begin!
