The Matt and Jen Moving Company

We picked up our key to our new apartment tonight and will move our first load there in the morning. I've never moved by walking my possessions to a new home but that's what we're doing.

We're filling up our luggage and wheeling it over to our new apartment (located on the fourth floor and there's no elevator, of course), dropping off our things and then wheeling our empty luggage hoe for a refill. Several friends have offered to help but we think we'll be done after three trips and since we're both taking the afternoon class off, we'll be totally done by the time our fellow students are finished with their five o'clock classes.

We visited our apartment and our landlord this afternoon and we were pretty surprised to find the place in such disarray. The first time we saw the apartment it was really neat and clean. Not so this time!

But, it must be really challenging for our landlord, who's moving to the U.S. for a year - we know what it's like to try to pack up and move out. Nonetheless, we really hope she's able to get it clean before we move in tomorrow. We don't have a lot of confidence though because we hustled us out of her apartment because she was heading out for a night out on the town.

I guess we'll see how bad things are in the morning when we drop off our first load right before Hebrew class.
