Moving Day!

This weekend we made the big move of all my stuff down to Seattle! I headed up to Oak Harbor on Friday to meet with carpet cleaners and my landlords to finalize everything for terminating my lease then started packing up. Friday night Ryan rode his motorcycle up to Oak Harbor too to help me out. My roomie and her bf also came up Friday night to start packing up her things to move out as well. 

Saturday morning we picked up the uhaul and started loading everything up. Luckily most of my things fit into boxes that stacked nicely into the truck. After we got all of my stuff loaded in the truck, we put a bunch of Sarah's larger stuff in the truck to drop off at her new place in Anacortes.

After packing and cleaning all morning, we headed out to drop off Sarah's stuff first. We had a nice little caravan of Sarah, Allan driving the uhaul, Ryan on his motorcycle, and myself and the pups in the GTI in the back of the line. We ended up dropping of all of Sarah's stuff at her house and left Ryan's motorcycle in the garage so he could driving the truck down to Seattle Saturday night. We made a quick stop in Mt Vernon to drop off my washer and dryer and a few other things at the Salvation Army before making it down to Seattle and offloading everything there. By that time it was pretty late, so we just parked the truck and called it a night.

Sunday morning we dropped off the truck at a place in Seattle. Ben was pretty helpful riding shot gun in the truck cab.

From there we drove back up to Anacortes to pick up Ryan's motorcycle from Sarah's house. Luckily the rain held off for most of the afternoon, so it ended up being a nice, although rather chilly, ride down the island back to Seattle. Clearly the pups were pretty helpful on the ride as well. Ben really likes to cuddle with Tara and take up as much space as possible.

Sunday night we were pretty beat, but instead of unpacking I thought it would be more fun to bake. I still had some leftover pumpkin, so I made some pumpkin cranberry scones. So that's what I'll be eating for breakfast all week on my way into work bright and early in the mornings!
