Defenestrating Thoughts from the Bivouac

It has been about a month since my last post. And boy, has it been an eventful month:

• Movers came and turned out apartment into boxes. Lots of boxes. I think we had on the order of 140 boxes.
• Movers came and took the boxes and the furniture.
• Car guy came and took our cars.
• We checked out of the apartment. I’d lived there for just about 6 years. My rough estimate is that I gave Avalon Redmond Place around $68,000 in rent over that time (plus whatever Chris and Andrew gave them while we were roomies). In return they kindly gave me back my entire deposit of $250 (oh, and a place to live).
• We flew one-way to Denver on Wednesday.
• Rented a car and stayed with Mom and Dad.
• Looked for houses to rent.
• Had our cars delivered.
• Found a place to rent in Lafayette.
• Rented it.
• Had boxes and furniture delivered (all within 5 days of arriving).
• Unpacked lots of boxes.
• Bought lots of things for the house. (We bought a lot of stuff, Visa loves us right now. Our checking account does not.)
• Had Mom, Dad, and Sri over lots of times.
• Crissy’s family came and visited for a week.
• Went to my high school reunion.

Of course, each of these things has an interesting and fun story behind it. Maybe I’ll write about some of them in later posts. :-)

Update (7/30/08): I just realized I calculated the rent total wrong. It should be ~68K over 6 years (corrected above).
