Moving Day..

So the week, the day, the moment that I have been waiting for since before I even turned 18(you can ask my parents) finally came, I moved into my own place! I found a small but sufficient studio apartment, which I had added pictures of in my first blog.

I worked all day Monday, which I would typically have off because the store is closed. Seeing as it was Valentine's Day, Archie and I had a very busy day of delivering Valentine's Archie Grams. We delivered 15 different grams, to 15 very surprised and embarrassed people. Here's a photo of one of our lucky people. Check out Archie's home page;  http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/fans/page.jsp?ymd=20090803&content_id=6231266&vkey=fans_t2310&fext=.jsp&sid=t2310

Touching back on Valentines Day, Sean sent me some gorgeous flowers for Valentine's Day! I was totally surprised and I really appreciated it, especially because I had spent all day giving out flowers to other people, while my Valentine is in the Cayman Islands.

Seeing as I can only work 40hrs a week, I got Tuesday off instead of Monday. I began my moving day as early as I could, which was only11AM because I needed to get my keys from the office and that's when they open. I could not have picked a more windy day to move I will tell you. Driving I was concerned about something being blown out of truck but the first load went smoothly. I loaded and unloaded the first two loads all by myself. I did have one small mishap when I was driving my second load, one of my plastic bins got blown open and it just so happened to be the one with loose papers on top. So I lost about 25 papers, not entirely sure of what yet. I went back and started walking alongside the road to see what I could find, as I realized I had lost one of my W-2 forms. I found 5 sheets of paper that I had lost, but not the W-2, the rest is gone as for whatever else may have been lost it's hopefully not in the wrong hands. Round three I got help from Royle, Kenny's brother, to help me with moving my recently purchased used bed and my packed bookshelf. Once that load was done all I had left was a floor lamp and  my shoe rack. Now the real fun begins, I added some pictures to give you a visual of amount of stuff versus space, and I think space is losing. Its amazing how much stuff I never knew I had, haha.


I should really thank my mom for the extra surprise she packed for me, as I was unpacking my dishes I opened the cardboard fully intact box which has been plastic wrapped and not opened or touched for four weeks at least. I was on the phone with Sean and noticed that there was brown specks on my dishes, I told him that I was pretty sure they were turds. Also that I was afraid that a cockroach had been packed with the dishes and packed for four weeks. I got to the bottom of the box and the last two cups guess what I found hiding, now I should mention that I haven't seen or even heard of any cockroaches since I moved here. Turns out, they don't live here, go figure I bring one out to Nevada. I start yelling to Sean that I told him I thought there would be on in the box, run as far away from the box as I can and take a moment to collect myself. While silently reflecting to myself I am acting like my sister when it comes to matters involving cockroaches. He says get some OFF or Raid something, I then tell him all I have is Fantastic and that I am going to Fantastic this thing to death. I gingerly take the box in one hand and my Fantastic in another, hurry out to the parking garage, tip the contents of the box out, not sure if he is dead or alive. He's ALIVE! He stumbles out makes me think of someone drunk or getting their sea-legs, after a few seconds he starts getting momentum and I go crazy spraying him at least 8 times grabbing my two dishes and the box and book it. I have no idea if he survived the Fantastic, I am half afraid that I just infected Nevada with cockroaches. So thanks Mom! haha


I am so glad I moved in on Tuesday because on Wednesday it started snowing and it didn't stop until Saturday morning we probably got 10 inches of snow, I saw kids having snowball fights etc. I drove the few blocks to work the first two days because the roads were just wet but I have been walking to work and home(only 6 blocks) in 28 degree weather and snow. Its a nice change, thankfully I have one of Sean's ski jackets that he lent me(that he obviously has no use for in the Cayman Islands, lucky) and it keeps me warm and keeps the wind out, so thanks babe! Today walking to work the roads downtown apparently never get plowed and a lot of them are in the shade so I am either walking in dirty slush or ice, but not driving, no way. I have been splashed by passing by vehicles which caused my to learn the valuable lesson of sticking close to the buildings. It's really pretty here when its white the ballpark looks amazing covered in snow.

So far things are going well I miss everyone back home of course, but Christmas, Royle, Tony as well as my co-workers have been great and I am having fun. I get my wire-less Internet installed tomorrow morning! Possibly going sledding tomorrow to which would be awesome! Until next week.
