Connected with the world again!

It all started on Saturday, September 1st. We drove to Spearfish from Gillette at 6am so we could pick up the U-Haul that we had left at Aaron's parents' house, along with the television, computers, and random other pieces.

This was my view of Dad's truck on the way in. Now, imagine a U-Haul trailer attached to it, and stare at it for 12 hours while driving 80mph on the Interstate. Yeah. That was Saturday. We arrived in Robbinsdale, a suburb of Minneapolis in the evening, too pooped to unpack. So we found my parents a hotel, went out to dinner, and would meet again in the morning for some breakfast and unpacking.











This is our tons and tons and TONS of crap that we brought with us from Spearfish. Mind you, not everything made it to the Twin Cities; some things were left behind. And after much unpacking, moving, and rearranging, we found that some things will have to be taken back; we just don't have the room for it. This apartment is a one bedroom, while the one in Spearfish had two. It's got just about the same amount of square footage in it, but we're just missing a closet to store all of our crap in. Sheesh. I don't remember buying this much stuff.










Here's the bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen.







And here's the living room. It was the biggest pain, because we'd added a new piece of furniture, the brown chair.

I've been driving on the freeway, which is a much different experience when you are the driver instead of the passenger. All of the other times, it seemed so nerve-wracking to me to have to drive on this thing. Of course, all this was while Aaron was driving and I was looking around at EVERYTHING that was going on, not just looking at what I needed to see; the car in front of me. I still have no sense of direction and am easily turned around and confused unless Aaron is with me to navigate. There are so many damn roads here!

I'm still looking for a job, but have gone to an employment agency with my resume' for help on that; there is so much to do here, it's easy to become overwhelmed with the possibilities.

Everything has been going very smoothly. Up until today, that is. And I will tell you about that in the next post, so this one doesn't get so long.
