Hillsboro Residence #1

I thought I’d post a few pictures of our temporary digs.  Here is our 3 bedroom apt—from the outside

And here is what the inside looked like when we arrived.  Living room:

kitchen:

and kids bedrooms.

We’ve been here for 9 days now and the kids rooms look a lot better.  Here are some pictures of the girls room.

The kitchen is looking somewhat better—not done yet, but better than it was.

But in order to start unpacking boxes I had to make a diagram of my NC kichen

Then I figured out what things were the most important, and diagrammed where I would put them in this super small kitchen.

It was the only way I could wrap my brain around any of it—my brain doesn’t work very well in tasks like this.

We don’t know yet if the movers lost anything, but we did find something we have never seen before.

And we know that the movers didn’t skimp on the paper…

We realized we were a little short on furniture, so until some other things show up from storage next week we improvised for a dresser

and a place for the sewing machine.

I realized the other day that the last time I moved I had 3 one year olds…if Nancy hadn’t unpacked our kitchen we probably would have never gotten those boxes unpacked.

The time before that when we moved Josh was two days old and hadn’t slept since he’d been born.  I remember almost nothing, and none of that good. 

So really, this should be a piece of cake, right???
