This past week has been SO crazy. Benita & I had to move out of Mt. Vista starting last Thursday and it basically took us until Sunday to get everything finally moved out and cleaned and everything. I really like our new place and it's going to be really nice once we get everything all put together. I'll post some photo's once the place looks presentable. (We're still putting stuff away!)
Here are some things I learned while moving...
1- I detest manual labor. Seriously carrying boxes down a flight of stairs and then up 3, not my idea of a good time. WHY do I have so much crap!
2- Chivalry is dead...Nelly Furtado was right...We had the help of ONE of our guy friends to move some furniture, but we flat out had some guys say no to helping us. REALLY?? I was totally blown away. Now...let me add in that I know a lot of our guy friends would have been more than willing to help us, but were out of town when we moved, so not all our guy friends are that awful. What happened to the days where a guy sees a girl carrying a box bigger than she is up the stairs and he would rush to help her instead of thinking....hmmm she's strong...
3- A little Stop for some frozen yogurt and a diet dr. pepper can help make moving a little less painful.
4- I HATE that Benita's room is on the bottom floor and mine is on the top. You have to understand we've been wall-mates for the past 4 years. I can't just yell to her anymore! So sad. thank goodness for cellphones.
5- Moving is a pain. The end.
We took a quick break from the move on Friday night to go to Amber's Reception which was so beautiful! She looked adorable, and SO happy. I loved her "candy bar" that she had for her guest's to take home a bag of candy. Yep, I'm a sweet tooth! (And yes, the purple skirt made an appearance, as per Amber's request.)

I hate moving too! I just helped Jennifer move for a couple days and it sucks. Tell all those guys that said no to your moving that they can enjoy a nice bachelor life or were they to scared that you and Benita would put them to shame being way stronger than them. Should have sent Elaine up to help she is quite the pro down here in AZ. She moved the whole entire Poppy's store around this week which she got got sucked in to.
chivalry really is completely dead. the basement room was great for that reason. but i am very scared to be there all by myself :( i will be having many a sleepovers in your room! also.. we need walkie talkies still. we are too far away.
Megan, the wedding pictures are darling! I'm still waiting to see some pictures of the new place! And yes, I can agree - I hate moving things! Whether to a new home or Poppy's! It sucks!!
Girl, I understand about the moviong and its so nice when guys come and help you....just kidding. Love hte purple skirt..
oh my gosh...i feel like i've been moving for months! i totally understand your pain. at this point i just want to throw all of my possessions in the dumpster :)
oh...and i need your new address so i can send you and benits an announcement!
Moving is the pits! Let us know your new address
So I agree with everything you said, especially about lame boys not being courteous and gentlemen like. What is the deal with society today, I wonder? I am so glad that you wore the purple skirt to the wedding. It seriously was the cherry on top of my sunday, per say! I love you so much and it meant so much to me to see you girls at our wedding. Good job for making Trace squeeze into the picture. He was complaining all night about the fact that he had taken way too many pictures! Ha ha ha. You'd think it was work or something, smiling so much on the happiest day of your life. Poor guy. I loved it.
