U-Haul...We-Haul

Well, it's official. I am all moved out of Logan and residing in Salt Lake. Can I just tell you how much I hate moving...especially the hauling of the boxes. Honestly, let's not just narrow it down to hauling boxes, let's just say I hate manual labor in general. I must say though, you should all be pretty impressed because besides 2 things, Lisa and I completely packed the U-haul all by ourselves. Thanks to Trent and Eric who suggested we call the missionaries for help. Maybe next move. We did have some help with the unloading, thanks Jordan, Kristine and Ansen. Actually, next time I have already decided that I will be paying someone. Before we started loading the U-haul we had to return the bed's Katie Jo had so graciously lent to us for the year. We decided that we didn't want to take them apart to take them back...it would take too long we decided. It would be so much faster to just leave them together. So after breaking our backs, shoulders, scraping the paint off the walls and banisters, maneuvering it out of the door, loading it into the u-haul, and carrying it into Katie's backyard it was nice to realize at that point we would have to take it apart to get it into her house. Awesome. But our spirits were high thanks to the 44 oz Diet Coke so we just sat in the back and sang and took apart the bed.
I am not exactly sure who was driving this truck before us, but it smelt like the love child of a chain smoker and Mr. Clean. It smelt like Lemon Pine Sol mixed with tobacco or if you need a visual it smelt like the Best Western I stayed at in Delta...use your imagination folks. And, they left these behindBefore we left, we were trying to eat all our leftovers and I am not sure if it was the fumes, the lack of sleep, the amount of caffeine running through our veins or what, but we could not stop laughing. We had packed EVERYTHING from the kitchen so I ate my pizza off a plastic cutting board that we found in the dishwasher, And Lisa was able to find the back of the Time Magazine to use. Yes Sassers, you are seeing a Spice Pack...
This was upon our return after the LONGEST day of my life. We really were that excited to be done...well I guess we were also excited about the thought of heading to Beto's to celebrate the move...which we did.
It was really nice to be able to clean up the house for the new girls, the house we moved out of was a complete disaster. Remember the kitchen remodel? I do. I am so happy to be out of that house that smelt constantly like a mix of grandma, butt and feet. Or as we called it, home sweet home.
I did find this godsend while dejunking the house. Whoever lived there before us who was a CNA, RN or possibly a dental hygienist, thank you for leaving these gloves behind. They made cleaning doable.
And for punishing you by making you look at all those disgusting pictures I thought I would treat you to one after we got cleaned up. What we have liked about SL so far:
-Our new house
-The helpful guy at Home Depot who has helped us out twice since Saturday
-The cute little Thai married couple who did our pedicures
-Our new Gold's Gym membership
-The Smith's around the corner

What we have not liked about SL so far:
-The weird girl at the checkout at Walmart that asked if me and Lisa were a couple, just because we were standing there separate and paying separate. I can see the confusion there.
-The lack of finding a gas station with fresh limes for you Diet Coke (come on, we need a Mooch's replacement!)
-Lockind our doors. Lisa and I sometimes left our door open at night, apparently our room mates are not down with that.

But, if anyone asks. We like it here.
