So much excitement!

Soon, Keith and I are off to Catalina island for Alan and Jenn's wedding. Neither of us have been there before, so we are very excited to visit the island and celebrate their marriage!

On the home front, yesterday we finished unpacking the last box. We will share photos of the whole apartment soon... We still have some more pictures to hang!

The "before" and "after" are quite different!

We needed to finish unpacking so we could prepare for Indy, who arrives the day after we return from the wedding. We packed his "go" bag with all of the essentials for picking him up at the airport (we have been watching too much Criminal Minds recently...) Hopefully the plane ride will be a pleasant experience for him!

Arrival in Evanston

We have been in Evanston just over a week now, and we've been very lucky with the weather. We have had one rainy day - and the morning had a really violent storm that knocked down MANY trees in the neighborhood.

The courtyard of our new home. The building happens to be a historical landmark in Evanston, and is named "Castle Tower."

I am very happy with the movers that we used. Olympia movers were based in Watertown and then they used Wheaton to actually ship the belongings. There was a lot of stress surrounding the move, but now that it is over I would gladly work with any of these people again.

We were very impressed by the skill of the driver, Bob. I am still amazed that he managed to turn this truck around in a residential neighborhood!

We have been making progress unpacking, but there is still a lot to do. The kitchen is probably 75% set up, but at least we are able to cook for ourselves! We hope to be completely set up by the end of this week.

Can you believe that we had over 6000 lbs of stuff?
