Moving-in Eve

I am exhausted. Tomorrow we're moving to our new apartment, and this weekend we brought the cats down to our new place to get them settled in. We spent Friday and Saturday night with them, but tonight they're on their own. Mike is pretty concerned about them, but I think they'll be okay. We'll be down tomorrow by noon at the latest to reassure them that they haven't been abandoned.

We spent most of today packing. Right now I'm deeply, deeply regretting putting anything at all on our wedding or baby registries. That dip tray and punch bowl and those zillions of baby outfits seemed cool at the time, but when I see box after box piling up I realize I'll have to haul all that cool stuff out of here and into a new apartment. We should have registered for savings bonds. Those are nice and light.

Honestly, I can't wait to be moved in. I hate having half our stuff in boxes. I hate being so crowded in our apartment. I hate everything in disarray. I hate it.

On the plus side when we were in our new town we went to a nearby church festival. The festival was being put on by the church that we'll probably be attending, so we were able to scope it out a bit. My favorite part was the meat raffle. Yes! A raffle with meat as prizes! I've never heard of that before, but I like the idea of entering a raffle and walking away with a couple of steaks. Unfortunately the raffle numbers were already being drawn when we were there, so we didn't get in on the action. Next year for sure!

Once we get things reasonably unpacked at the new place I'll post photos. And have my sanity back.
