So this is going to
be a pretty long post and I’m sorry I haven’t updated in awhile, it’s been
crazy moving and everything. But here
are some photos and chronicles of the passed couple of days
(After some very
careful packing and planning Wes and I were able to get all of our stuff in a
14ft U-Haul, with my car in tow. We
wouldn’t have been able to do it without my Mom and Dad, thanks you two! And you better believe that thing was packed
to the top!
(Pack up day was also
my mother’s 30th birthday;) Wes brought her flowers and my Dad and I
bought her Lady Antebellum tickets! But
in true Rebecca fashion, she guessed what it was before she even opened up the
card. We’ll try again next year Dad!)
(The next day,
Thursday, Wes and I set out at 8:00am for Milwaukee Wisconsin. It was about a 12 hour drive and Wes drove
the whole way! I read 5 magazines and
took 3 naps.
What a great boyfriend I
have.)
We stopped at Lambert’s some where in the
middle of nowhere to have some “throwed rolls”.
Wes fell in love with the fried okra and we were both in a food coma
after our meal. This is a photo of the leftovers
from the meal that we split.
Isn’t that crazy?!?)
(Wes and I had to
drive through Chicago to get to Milwaukee so we stopped to grab some classic
Chicago style deep-dish pizza. We
stopped at Giordano’s which was “right off the highway” as Wes claimed. He was correct that it was right off the
highway, right off the highway in downtown Chicago across the street from the
Sears tower. Just imagine Wes and I
driving a 14ft U-Haul towing a car in downtown Chicago.)
We finally made it to
Milwaukee around 10:30pm and checked in to a hotel just South of downtown. Our movers were scheduled to meet us at
10:30am so we got to sleep in a little bit.
We headed out about 9:45am to pick up the keys to our new place!!
(Now let me just
remind you that this is what our condo looked with when the previous owner was living here.)
(And this is with all
of the boxes off of the moving truck. I
already think we’re a step ahead of the owners at this point and we’ve yet to
begin!)
(At the end of the
first day of unpacking! The rug was
chosen by Wes and came from that home decorating place behind U.S. Pizza in
Bryant. We got the couch from Junk and
Disorderly and the tv stand from Antiques and Unique’s during their Memorial Day sales! The club chair I had from my last place, and
the dining room table and chairs my parents gave to us. Thanks again!)
(Here’s the lobster
dinner I had at the Milwaukee Public Market.
It’s only $13.99 and they serve it every
night of the week. Wes had fried
grouper. And the best part is that it’s
3 blocks away and we could walk there and back.)
Today we spent the
morning unpacking and maneuvering and doing all kinds of stuff to our place
that didn’t make it look any more put together than it was before. But to achieve order you must go through
chaos… right? It’s something like that I
think. I’ll post more photos of the
place tomorrow once we clear out a few more of the boxes and get everything put
in it’s place. It’s a slow process, but
at least I have Wes here for a few more days to help me out!
(Here’s the first
meal that we “made” in our new place. We
walked downstairs and outside to the wine bar next door and grabbed a bottle
and then made a turkey wrap with salsa!
How convenientJ)
Until next time…
