So Richard and I slept through much of Christmas after our exhausting week. It seems any time we sat down, the 2 of us would be asleep in only a matter of seconds. :) It was a much needed break.
After Christmas my parents travelled back to NC with us. We still had some remnants back at the apartment (much more than we thought), and we had to be moved out by the 28th. We put my parents to work: moving boxes down our 2 flights of stairs, taking pictures off the walls and spackling the holes, and cleaning EVERYTHING in the apartment! By around 4pm Monday the 28th, we were officially moved out of Beach Lake! What a great feeling!
We had all pretty much been working non-stop all day, so at this point we took my parents to our favorite Monday night restaurant in Durham—El Rodeo-to enjoy their 99 cent margaritas, and to celebrate our successful day.
boxes everywhere!
That evening and on in to the next day, my parents, the experts at moving, hit the house hard- unpacking boxes left and right. By the end of their time here, Richard and I could actually walk through our house, and use our closets!
After they left, Richard was working the rest of the week, so my painting projects continued. For two days, working 12-14 hours straight, I painted the kitchen cabinets. What a tedious project!!! But when they finally dried on the third day, it felt great to be able to unpack several more of those kitchen boxes. There’s hope for this old house.
