What I meant was: we’re moving twice this year. Our landlord is moving back into this house after many years, so we have to find a temporary place to live before we actually move south this fall.<\/p>\n

What we’ve discovered in apartment hunting is that we’ve been truly spoiled with our rent here; we have a nice smallish house in a great walking neighborhood with a garage and an excellent yard, and our rent hasn’t gone up in the close-to-seven years we’ve lived here. You can now get an OK 2BR apartment for what we pay for all this. The thing is, I don’t want to pay the same for an apartment; since we have to pay for movers and a storage unit for at least the next year and a half, I want to pay less.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we’re looking at a couple places in the next few days, and I hope one of those works out. Especially since one has an indoor pool, and the other is walking distance from work!<\/p>\n

Packing has actually been pretty enjoyable, because god knows I’m an organizing freak who has to create an elaborate yet well-ordered system for everything. (Is it obvious I’m a software developer?) Our basement is the staging area, and the front porch is filling up with things to either give away or donate. I really hope people will come over and see if there’s anything they want out there.<\/p>\n

The upside of the surprise move is that it’s solidified our plans: move into an apartment April 1, which by virtue of 6-month-lease math, puts us at a Key West moving date of October 1. EXCITING!!!<\/p>\n

And in the meantime: we’ll be in Negril in a week. I cannot wait to see this again.<\/p>\n

  1. We spent a few days in Arizona\u00a0with the in-laws, and had a spectacular time. Matt and I went to see the Grand Canyon, which somehow I’ve neglected to visit before. I was *this* close to crying as we walked up to the edge of it at the first overlook. It was even more awesome than I’d imagined. (Here are all my pictures<\/a>!)\n

  2. Awesome Christmas: The Final Blowout was great. I think next year I’m going to mail everyone $3 and make them send me pictures of what they buy themselves.\"16417755701_ec6ec34934_z\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. We went to the North Star Cup at Xcel Center. The Gophers are bad. Like, really bad. Unranked, not-making-the-tournament-excepting-a-miracle bad. This our fault because we’re moving. (My love for them will never change.)<\/li>\n
  4. Work has been INSANE. Like working late every day insane. It should let up soon, but I’d prefer to not be dreaming about this project every moment I’m asleep.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And now, I have to go pack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
