How funny, Amy. Now that's the way to move. I'm taking notes for someday when I can move down. And how cool is that you can attend every PP meet.

Glad you're "bare bones" moved in. When we moved, the movers had the truck unloaded in 45 minutes and they were gone before we could even grasp we had moved.

I'm with you, I just love the "sit and point" method of moving. Glad you got everything moved into the apartment. Now the fun part of unpacking and all starts.

Glad to hear the unloading and cable/internet went well. Just gotta love the sit and point method of unloading. If and when I ever move down there I think I know where the first place I am going to look for a place. It really sounds like you guys got a great place. Hope the unpacking is going well. Can't wait to see pictures.

Update 9/25 Wednesday

So with Tuesday being a lot of just getting things in the right rooms, the beds put together etc Wednesday was the "start unpacking" day where we started with the bags and then moved to boxes!

I was up early, did another Dunkin Donut's run (did i mention how I that!!!) and then we made breakfast, of course we had to find some pans first but they were easy enough to locate.

After breakfast I headed to Wal-Mart where I got my nails done for $14 plus tip for Acrylics, back home that was at least a $30 expenditure! Sweet this place!

Then I hit the store running, I got everything almost (forgot the paper towels) that we needed and 3 hours later made it back to the apartment. We had 2 code adams but both kids were found, and then some guy tried to run out of the store with a cart full of stuff. The security team tackled him to the ground and the Police were there not to far behind. That was different. Back home I doubt the store had security it was so quiet. This Wal-Mart not so much!

I got back to the apartment and on the way found Gatorland...the attraction, not some pond filled with random gators I think I will skip that place!

I unloaded the grocery bags once back at the apartment and then helped empty the rest of the bags that we had to go through. We were worn out by the time dinner came but I spent time getting our wireless internet set up and then set up mom's work station so that was all set for her on Monday.

It was a long day but I couldn't sleep so I got online and then crashed by midnight.
