We're moved!

At last, after many months, we have moved from the bay area to Sacramento. We've been packing at our house in Hercules since April. Gordon has been working at our house in Fair Oaks since May. But the work that needed to be done before we could move in got completed a week or so ago. He installed new insulation, did some re-wiring, had a painter paint all the rooms (without wood), and had a contractor re-finish all the wood floors. Also, he did lots of out side cleanup and is continuing to work on the pool.

So the movers came to Hercules on Sunday. They arrived at 9 and got the truck all packed up about 4. We got almost all the furniture and boxes in the truck. Gordon packed up his truck and I packed a bunch of things in my car. Aisling and I took one cat and a turtle in my car and Gordon took the other cat in his truck. After we got to Sacramento, the movers were there until about 11 moving furniture and boxes into the house. My goal was to get our beds set up so we could sleep Sunday night, and also to get the big heavy pieces of furniture located. And we did manage to do that, so we could sleep in our beds on Sunday night!

I took off three days during the week and we unpacked and moved furniture around during that time. In addition, Gordon was continuing with some things that weren't quite done, like some light fixtures. The cats and the turtle have completely settled in. The cats love being outside and we haven't lost them yet. Dara, Zach and Aidan came up to visit over the weekend. Zach helped clear more stuff from the garden, and Dara helped unpack the kitchen. Aidan ran around and played with the cats.

So it's great to be all back together all the time. Aisling has started her summer program at Sac State. Gordon will need to finish stuff up at the Hercules house, as we have a new tenant moving in on August 1, which is great news!
