Woke up this morning early to start the move. Jonathan worked night shift last night, and is coming up to help so Rita and I needed to get my room cleared out as much as possible so that we can continue to make progress while he sleeps. We started by going through all of my clothes and weeding out 2.5 trash bags full for donations and another half for Rita to take and use. Then, we were able to load most of my closet into her car. We left shortly after Jonathan arrived to unload the clothing and then started running errands in Rock Hill; a visit to the post office, the DMV, to meet a friend to retrieve my mailbox key, to school to give them my new address, to Subway to pick up lunch for two very hungry gals.
Back to the apartment to eat and pack up all of the bathroom equipment. Took the load to the townhouse and started unpacking. Our game plan has been to take a load and, after moving it all inside the house, to unpack and put away as much as possible as a break from the lifting and also to clear up space (and boxes!) for more work. Just as we were about to leave, Jonathan texted to say he was up, so we were able to take 2 loads of larger furniture in the Expedition (which his dad graciously allowed me to swap with my car for the move). So all of my bedroom furniture (except the futon) was moved, as well as 90% of my kitchenware before we had to get ready to leave for Journey Group.
It was so great to see everyone at JG tonight and catch up after 2 months of being away. I am thankful for my family away from home--they truly play a huge role in keeping me sane during the crazy of the school year. And, it was wonderful to introduce Jonathan and Rita to them as well. Seeing Kadin was also quite fun...he is getting HUMONGOUS though. Rita enjoyed holding him for the end of the meeting when he was getting antsy as well. =)
