All moved in!

It's been 3 weeks since I posted, so I decided to give an update!
We left Bloomington on Monday, drove halfway to Jacksonville, stayed the night outside Atlanta, drove the rest Tuesday, and moved in Tuesday/Wednesday.
So far things are going ok. It's been exhausting moving in and getting things set up, but I'm just about finished. We only have had a few issues along the way...

1. I ran out of gas - My gas gauge is broken, and I pay attention to my mileage. When I was at 350 miles, I knew we'd need to stop, however we were in the beginning of a National Park, which was 25 miles long, so no exits! We made it to the exit ramp, and while waiting at the ramp, my car studdered and shut off. I tried to turn it on, and all the lights were flashing and it wasn't doing anything. I turned it off (still sitting on the exit ramp....) and waited, turned it back on and it went the 30 yards to the gas station... whew!

2. Our refrigerator isn't working - Since Tuesday when we moved in, it's been frozen up and maintenance here is quite slow, so we've been without a fridge for 3 days. They came this morning and worked on it, and will be coming again soon. Hopefully I'll get to cook tomorrow night, I've got some good ideas stored up!

So I'd say we're doing ok. Hopefully I'll be able to get out and do some stuff next week when I'm not waiting on comcast, maintenance, etc. all day long...

Here's my new kitchen, quite a bit smaller. It should just be a temporary apartment until I get a job and we buy a house, so I'll live!


I do like the black/white combo though, something to keep in mind. I also have bar seating, which is nice since we have little/no room for a kitchen table.

Glad you made it in one piece. I've never run out of gas, but it's one of my biggest fears!

My kitchen is so small I would kill to have that kitchen!

Ashlee,

I've followed your blogs for over a year now and am finally commenting. I'm a fellow accountant who loves baking, cooking and working out.

I just made your sugar cookies cut out in dress shapes. I frosted them in our wedding colors and am sending them my bridesmaids to ask them to be in the wedding. They are so darn cute and taste amazing!
