We made it...

Tuesday afternoon the movers got everything loaded and we finally left Ashley that evening around 5:30. We stopped in Shelbina for the night and left for Redwood at 4:00 Wednesday morning. We arrived in town about 12:30 that afternoon and found our new home- a one bedroom apartment downtown. The first apartment we looked at was pretty much a dump, luckily the lady had another one to show us and that is where some of our things are right now. Most of our belongings are in storage right now...just so we had a chance to make sure we had a place to live before it all arrived! The past couple of days we have been doing all the fun things you get to when you move- finding a bank, getting insurance, cable, new cell phones, and new licenses! I start work on Monday, but won't be there too long before I head to Iowa City for a meeting and then Jason & I will be back in Missouri for the 4th of July weekend! We have a few pictures of our apartment. Once we get things moved in I might take some more. Right now we have an air mattress, card table & chairs, and no dressers so our clothes are staying in the boxes they were brought in! The rest of our things are supposed to be delivered July 8th so we won't be living like this too long!
One last look at our old house
Driving to MN Luckily I just had to ride the whole 8 hours!
Finally made it to MN
Still driving- real safe, huh?
Redwood Falls- our new home!!!
Our apartment is right inside the door at the top of the stairs- this picture is from the back parking lot.
Our red door- I told Jason I had always wanted a red door and he said he could have painted one for me, we didn't have to move to MN for one
The living room as you open our door
The kitchen and doorway to the bedroom
The bedroom
The other side of the bedroom- 2 closets!
Our first supper in our new apartment before any of our things had been delivered. Any guesses on our first meal? Duh- tacos!
Our living room full of boxes
Our bedroom & bathroom with a few boxes
Unpacking- I made a mess and Jason kept trying to contain it to the area of the living room

I'm with Jessi...I wasn't expecting a post, let alone pictures! I'm glad you did though! I like the red door, too.

Looking at all your boxes just makes me think of what I have to "look forward to" the next few weeks!

Those New World Van Lines' boxes are all too familiar! So happy you have survived the move so far. Your place looks nice, and it looks like it has been well kept and clean (besides all the boxes of course). Oh, and that packing paper just never seems to end! It's amazing how much they can fit in 1 box!!!
