The Move
Been so busy
Marie and I have been so busy. Between all the excitement at my new job and moving into our apartment we haven’t had much time to spend online. But worry not! We setup our router, we’re online and we’ll be posting some pictures of the new apartment and stories of our happenings soon.
Loading Day
Nick and I just left the apartment and we are headed to his mom’s for the next two nights. I’m blogging from the car while Nick drives. 😛 We are so exhausted, sweaty, and achy… definitely looking forward to a shower and a comfy bed. A BIG thank you to everyone who helped load up … Continue reading
Our Relocubes have arrived
Our Relocubes from ABF have been delivered! They were scheduled to be delivered yesterday in the afternoon, but the folks at ABF called us up yesterday and let us know that their fleet of 2 delivery trucks was reduced to 1 and our cubes were going to be delayed. They were pretty cool about it … Continue reading
Buddy’s with Buddies
Yesterday, we visited Nick’s aunt and cousins. We talked about the move and what life is going to be like in Seattle. Hopefully, they’ll come visit us in Seattle soon. 🙂 Today, we had our farewell lunch at Wasabi (Korean & Japanese restaurant in Detroit) with our Marketing coworkers. My Computer Science friends introduced me … Continue reading
Boxes and Packing

Long and Busy Day
Nick and I got a lot accomplished today. We took the cars in for checkups at the car doctors, acquired a few more boxes from CMP, deposited a box of rolled change at the bank, spent a small fortune on special packing boxes and moving blankets from U-Haul, and packed some more boxes. Boxes, boxes, boxes! … Continue reading
Car checkups
Right now I’m sitting in the Smart center (picture below) in Bloomfield Hills waiting for my car. It’s crazy that our Smart (aka Gunter) is almost at 50,000 miles. Marie took our Escape in earlier today as well. So our cars are now all checked out and ready for our trip across the country. We … Continue reading
Thunderstorm Update
Michigan’s certainly putting up a fight tonight with an impressive thunderstorm. Sorry, though, Michigan… it’s not going to be enough to keep us here. 😉 Nick and I did some more packing tonight and we disassembled the dining table. Our apartment’s starting to look bare and weird now, in spite of having our things strewn all about … Continue reading
The beginning of our new adventure
Since I accepted a job offer at the Information School at the University of Washington last week, Marie and I started on a new adventure. We’re moving from Detroit, Michigan to Seattle, Washington and we’re doing it all in 2 weeks. We’re planning on using this blog to document our move so family and friends can … Continue reading
