Tuesday was the big day and it went really well. We have emerged from the dark cave and into the light! We found this new home just in time too, turns out Bud sold our old house. The new owners paid cash and will not be renting the cottage anymore, so we would have had to scramble for a new place. The best part is that Bud was in such a good mood about the sale that he gave us our full security deposit back without the fight we were anticipating.

We got up before the sunrise to start the move and thanks to Cheya and Michael helping with the big stuff later in the day, it was a quick and easy process. The new place is amazing and I will have some new photos of the finished product posted in a couple days. Until then, here are a few from moving day.

YAY! We are moving!

 

I love packing!

 

Packed and ready to move before sunrise.

 

Miami Vice colors!

All done.

 

Bye bye Mapu street.
