Catching Up: Part 2

After we returned from Wisconsin we spent the next few days packing our entire house into 1 pod, 1 U-Haul trailer, 2 pick up trucks and my car.  I don't think my fitbit knew what was going on with all of those steps.  We were easily hitting 25K steps per day.

 

 After everything was loaded we said one final goodbye to our house and St. Louis and started the 13 hour drive to Baltimore. 

We decided to break it into two days to make it a bit easier on everyone.  My dad drove his truck and pulled the trailer, Brad took Sammy in his truck and the rest of us (including one very vocal kitty)
rode in my car. 

 

We arrived at our new house at about 3pm on Friday 7/18 and were pleasantly surprised with the place as we had yet to see it in person (we kept telling ourselves it was only for a year and a friend had come to look at it for us). 

We are in a nice neighborhood of mostly identical row houses.  Ours has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a small office upstairs, a living room, dining room and kitchen on the main floor and a finished basement with a 1/2 bath and a storage/laundry room in the basement.  We have a small front yard, a covered deck, a patio and a small, fenced yard in the back.  We live about a block from an elementary school with 3 playgrounds which is great for the boys.  Our next door neighbors have little boys who are 4 and 6 so the boys are in heaven.
