Before....

Thanks so much to Steph and Stephen, Jessie, Cheryl, Jeff, Suzanne, and Matt for helping me get my furniture and boxes from the Uhaul to my new apartment (and, of course, my amazing parents for hooking it up in Stockton and making the drive down). Moving is always exciting, but so stressful. Unfortunately, this past week has not helped any...I've had little time to unpack and organize. Yesterday, I upgraded our apartment status from "total disaster" to "making progress." It still smells of paint and carpet glue (not sure how to get rid of that...any suggestions?), but at least we can now see the floor.

Here are a couple pictures of the apartment as we started out last Saturday...hopefully "after" pictures will follow soon!
