Tomorrow is Moving Day

Busy day . . . . spent the morning trying to finish up our packing.  We went to the attorney's office to sign the rental agreement at 11:30 a.m. and picked up the keys to the new apartment.  After lunch we decided to try to take a few of our fragile things over ourselves.  Unfortunately, we when arrived we found that it had not been cleaned up by the workers who installed the air conditioning wall units in the bedrooms.  There was dry wall dust--enough to write your name--in the master bedroom, bathrooms, living/dining and kitchen.  Even the glass top on the stove was covered with white dust.

We were so disappointed, but glad we discovered it today and not tomorrow morning when the movers are ready to unload the furniture.  We called the landlord who was also frustrated that the workers didn't clean up as they were paid to do.  He was going to personally go over tonight and clean up.  We hope he has a powerful vacuum.

Back here at the "old" place, we are walking among the boxes and sitting on chairs because our couches are wrapped in plastic.  We had them cleaned last week while we were gone and the company wrapped them when they finished.  We decided to leave them covered for the move.

Here's a few pictures:

Tomorrow I'll try to post a few pictures of the new place . . . even though it will be a mess.  For sure, I'll take a picture of our beautiful view. We're very excited about living close to the hotel (where church is on Sunday mornings) and to the church itself.  The move means less gasoline to buy, more time at home and less time dealing with the traffic!

Don't know when I'll have a chance to bring the blog up-to-date after our great VBS in Guatemala, but I'll try.
