Friday September 14th, 2012, we got the keys to our house
'They' say not to close on a house and move into it on the same day: It's just too much. Too bad we didn't hear that until after we closed on the house and moved into it on the same day. It was a long day, but we eventually got all of the things we own into our new place...but not before handing over a giant sack of money to people I've never met before.
I doubt that there are many typical move-in scenarios. Working out all of the timing of moving out of your old place, stockpiling cash, figuring out closing dates, physically moving to a new location and whole host of other things probably never lines up perfectly for anyone. We were no exception. We were living in limbo for a couple of weeks because our apartment lease ran out before our closing date. Which meant that, come move-in time, we had to rent the uhaul, grab our stuff from storage, unload it, return the uhaul, go to our limbo apartment to grab the rest of our stuff and bring it back. All in all, not too terrible, but combined with an early closing appointment, a hangover, and a need to unpack all of our stuff in boxes, it was a long day.
We did manage to unload the Uhaul in 55 minutes. I think that's a new record.
