A bunch of our friends showed up on Saturday to help us move despite the awful weather. With all the help we were able to move just about everything in 3 and a half hours. Thanks to Armin, Wentz, Gabe, Ramel, Cameron, Brian, Patrick, Preston, and Jacob. Kim and I had a LOT more stuff than we thought we did. It’s amazing what you can fit into an apartment over the course of a year.
Once the moving and the drizzle let up enough, we had a barbecue. Once again, everyone was very helpful: Travis was the grill meister, Cameron sliced and diced the cheese and onions, and Ramel even stayed late to help put away the food and dishes. Jim and Mel even stopped by, had a few burgers, socialized with the younger crowd and brought a birthday present for me. Most people left after a few hours, but a few people stayed around to sit in front of our new stove and enjoy the new house. This mostly involved sitting around in front of the fireplace and drinking beer and talking about math and politics. The pellet stove makes a really nice atmosphere.
We’ve still got to move a few random things out of our apartment and clean it for the inspection on Monday.
