Our Move to Denver...

Packing up the truck! We could not believe how much stuff we had! 

Kyle- Right before we took off. It was raining like crazy!


Our apartment building. It's a beautiful  building built in 1929. It's highlighted by beautiful vintage features.


Spray painting the desk we made for the office.



To start off our trip, it was storming on the day we left! Luckily, we had packed up everything the night before.  We left around 11 a.m. and decided to drive all the way to Kearney, Nebraska. We ended up getting there at about 11:30 at night. We were so thankful for a break from the truck! The next morning, we left at about 9 a.m. We were so excited because we knew we only had about a 5 hour ride ahead of us.  It happened to be extremely windy that day so the ride to Denver that day was pretty rough, but we made it. Kyle and I were thrilled when we pulled up to the apartment. I was going crazy to go in and look at it, since Kyle had picked it out and I had never seen it in person yet. It's a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with a great kitchen and living space. It is double what my old apartment was. Plus, it comes with a washer and dryer in it (which is so nice, after having to spend $3 dollars every time I wanted to wash clothes in college)! The apartment is highlighted by a ton of vintage features- the windows, the bathrooms, and the original hardwood floors are fabulous. Kyle did a great job picking everything out. I will post pictures of the apartment as soon as we finish all the decorating. For now, we are almost done unpacking with just some little stuff to do. We had a ton of help unpacking the truck- Adam, Matt, and Landyn. Julie brought us all some pizza that night. We are so thankful to have all of them here with us. My brother and his family came over later that night too. It was a fun first night at the apartment. The rest of this week we have been busy setting up the apartment.  Kyle has been really busy between work, softball games, and helping unpack. I also had an interview for a summer position at a Montessori School and I got the job! I start on Monday. Some other good news is that we have some special visitors this weekend- The Crawfords! We can not wait to see them:-)
