Moving out of Greenlake
We moved all of the big items of the house as well as other items we didn't need right away to storage on February 11, 2010.
The night before we slept early and Topher basically didn't get up. For this reason, we woke up pretty early on Feb. 11th around 6am. We started the morning eating breakfast at Pete's Egg Nest and then went back to the house and started getting things ready to move. While we were moving, Topher was getting frustrated and stressed out because it was just the two of us and we didn't have any help. My brothers weren't able to help out until later that afternoon.
After we got the rest of the items into boxes and took the bed apart, we went to the Uhaul place and rented a truck. As soon as we picked up the Uhaul truck, Topher drove over to Home Depot to pick up a couple of Mexican workers to help us out with the move. Boy was it sooo worth it. His mood changed as soon as they were in the house hauling all the boxes and heavy items like the washer and dryer from the 3rd floor and couches.
Once everything was loaded to the storage in South Seattle at Public Storage, we still stayed in the Greenlake property for another week. We didn't officially move out until Thursday, Feb. 18th. That was the first night we stayed at Justin and Jen's place in the Renton Highlands area. Transition has been strange because a majority of our stuff was in storage and we had to select which items to bring with us while we live at Justin's temporarily. Not to mention, we also had to pack for the Philippines trip (February 22nd)!
There wasn't a flow nor any organization established yet. Waking up in the mornings were a bit scattered since some things were in suitcases or in another room. It was like a scavenger hunt. We were far from establishing any organization with our stuff since we were leaving out of the country in just less than a few days! We figured we would take care of that when we return from our trip.
