Saying Goodbye to San Diego


It's been a crazy week and will continue to be crazy for a few more. Yesterday, we moved out of our apartment in San Diego. Our friends Adam and Shana who were visiting on vacation stayed an extra day which helped us a ton. We packed up the U-haul and Chuck is now on his way to unload it onto an ABF truck, then he will get our stuff in the storage unit and load that onto ABF as well. All while I get to relax and take my girls to the park and play with friends.

We sold our couch (funny story to follow) and a dresser. We decided to keep our kitchen table and chairs after being reminded by Adam that we had a matching armoire in storage.

Funny story about selling the couch:
Last weekend Chuck posted our great couch for $150 on craigslist. After a few hours he had about 12 responses. I told him it was probably because he under priced it. The first person that came to see it wanted it and gave us $20 to hold it. Well on the night she was supposed to pick it up - she flaked on us (after a few crazy phone calls with her soon-to-be ex-husband who was supposed to pick it up for her).

Chuck posted the couch again but this time for $200 plus $50 if they wanted it delivered. He posted it at 9pm and by 9:15 two guys were at the house carrying it out. Since Chuck had an empty Uhaul parked outside they loaded it up and drove it 3 blocks to the guys' house.

We bought that couch 3 1/2 years ago for $200, so we actually made $50 on the whole deal.

**Lani we missed you at Palm Springs.**
