Another Move Under Our Belts

Grant and I finally moved into our own place! We're both very excited about this little apartment. It's in Grapevine and so far we've found that we're close to great restaurants, a shopping mall, the airport, and the best part, closer to work! I didn't realize our commutes were going to change at all, but the move cut off 15 minutes from my drive to work (and let's be honest, that 15 minutes really makes a difference when I'm late getting out the door...every morning).

We got the keys to the new apartment last Friday night and came over here to clean. Then Saturday we woke up around 6:30am, loaded up a U-haul and all of our cars, and unloaded everything in just a few hours. I unpacked the entire kitchen, laundry room, and bathroom while Grant went to coach the Young Men's Basketball Team (that's his calling--pretty awesome, right? He brings a clipboard and everything). When he came home we both worked until late that night and got almost everything set up. On Sunday we unpacked more and went over to Grant's parent's house to clean where we had been staying. And then today Grant unpacked more while I was at work since he had the day off. We're still not completely unpacked, but we are so close! We just have our boxes of books to sort through and figure out which books we want to put up on the shelves and decorations to put out. Not too bad, right?

I promise I'll post pictures of everything just as soon as we finish up. For now though, you can enjoy this mountain of boxes that I unpacked all by myself while Grant was at the basketball game. Impressive, right?

We also took a break from unpacking on Saturday night to grab froyo with Nick and Briana. Definitely a good choice :)

And on Sunday morning we celebrated the first morning in our new apartment with a big breakfast of eggs and pancakes. It also didn't hurt that our new ward starts at 1:00pm, so we have plenty of time to sleep in and actually make a good breakfast.
