Moving Day!!

Luke and I got the keys to our apartment on Saturday morning.  We were so excited and I hardly slept the night before, it felt like Christmas morning! Luke decided he would go ahead and live there until the wedding which is in 11 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It just makes sense for him to go ahead and live there since it will cut 20 minutes off his drive to work!

So Saturday we moved all the bedroom furniture and Luke's clothes in.  Then the rest of the day Luke drove to Dora to pick up a washer and dryer that someone gave us and then he drove to Tuscaloosa to pick up his TV that he left when he moved to Birmingham.  (Thanks Jake and Rusty for helping!)

I had my lingerie shower on Saturday night and it was so much fun! Thank you everyone who came and brought presents and special thanks to my Aunt Suzie, Kelly and the Addairs who hosted the party.

After the party, I met back up with Luke and we started unpacking everything and made a midnight trip to Wal Mart for things we had to have in order for him to stay there. 

Sunday we dropped Luke's car off to be worked on and then loaded up to head to Atlanta to shop for furniture at IKEA!!! We felt like we were in furniture heaven there.  The store is amazing.  We got so much stuff for the apartment for a really great price.

Here is Luke with all the boxes.

On the way home we had a wiper fiasco that made for an interesting drive.  One of the wipers on my uncles truck broke.  It just so happened to be monsooning so Luke had to drive some of the time while sitting in the middle so he could see.

We finally made it home and unloaded all of the boxes and set up most of the furniture.  I will post pics soon of the finished products. 

The weekend was so busy but I caught myself thinking several times how thankful I am for Luke becuase he did so much and went above and beyond to get things accomplished.  He is the best and I love him so much.
