The Move

We're here!

After getting back from Houston, Kevin, my Dad and I moved me out of 68124 and into 78746 within 48 hours. Here's the run-down: got back from Houston at 5:30pm on December 28th; packed up apartment from 5:30pm onward; picked up U-Haul at 11am on December 29th; cleaned and moved out of apartment by 4pm.

We immediately left for Austin at 4pm, and stopped at a hotel for (only) four hours in Wichita, KS. Kevin, Sadie, the rig and I pulled up to my apartment in Austin at 5pm on December 30th. For perspective, we had to be there by 6pm, or would need to wait until January 2nd. Yep, we planned the trip well...perhaps a bit too well for comfort.

My sister, brother-in-law and nephew helped me move in on December 31st. After they left, Kevin and I went to the famous Chuy's restaurant, and had delicious Tex-Mex on our first full, rested evening in Austin. Um, possibly not too restful, though. Instead of going out, we decided to rent a Redbox. We both fell asleep on the couch at 9:30pm, though, and missed the countdown altogether. Ah, well, sometimes our bodies know best.

We're now getting things sorted away in the apartment, and generally enjoying our time here. I start my job tomorrow, and absolutely cannot wait.

Cheers to a new city, a new year and a new job!
