Moving In

2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 walk in closets. Open kitchen, washer / dryer, full size fridge and dishwasher. Wood floors throughout and a parking spot. What more could you ask for?? 10 minutes to the train station for a 30 minute door to door commute for Derek, the bus stops right in front of the apartment to the office (30 minutes) and the drive to my client can be 45 minutes to 1.5 hrs depending on traffic. We have accomplished alot in just 2 weeks of being here. The apartment is almost completely arranged (of the goods from storage), the goods from the Netherlands just cleared customs today and are being delivered this weekend. Arranging took a little longer than expected because we moved things a couple of times to get them in the right spot (and some of that stuff is heavy) and Derek changed bathrooms and closets with me so that I could have the larger of the 2 (isnt that sweet of him?). But the good news is that everything fit! and that was what I was most worried about. Nothing else to report - just trying to get organized and settled and looking forward to when that actually happens. I opened a bank account, obtained a phone and joined a gym (and went on my first visit to the grocery store with a cart and bought more than just 2 bags :), so I am feeling pretty good about our progress. We will be going back to Indiana to visit with the family and take care of our remaining goods in storage over labor day and then hopefully we will be done!!! Check out the pictures... it is bigger than you would expect!
