So this weekend went off without a hitch... well with one hitch.... We had very good support from our whole family which was nice. We were able to knock out the entire apartment in two trips. The second trip consisted of five trucks, my buddy Jay's two trucks, my mother-in-law's truck, my grandfather's truck and my uncles truck. We took the slow route down Newport ave. During which Jay sent me a text message saying "I feel like we're in that tornado movie looking for tornadoes", rightfully so, because it was like a five truck convoy which was neat.
Sunday night Jay and I went back to the apartment and broke down two desks, two shelves and an entertainment center all made out of particle board. The fat bastard downstairs called the cops on us. We left after we loaded up and headed to my Grandfather's house and unloaded the wood into the burning tank.
Sadly yesterday I got a call from my grandfather saying he could not burn that wood because of the plastic wood grain pattern coating on it.
I spent half of Monday with him cutting all that wood up into 15"x4" boards and stuffing them into vinyl bags. All of which are sitting in front of my new place today.
This morning was wonderful, it was very sunny out when I woke up and it was a beautiful sight when I went downstairs to see how bright the inside of the new place was. The sunlight hits the trees around our second floor almost dead on filling the inside with a very peaceful green light. It was very calming and tranquil to me. There are actually birds chirping outside as opposed to trucks whipping by. This is what a home should feel like when you are there. My wife did a fantastic job finding this place for us. I really think she will be happy here above all.
I was even more pleased with this move when it took me ten minutes from when I got on the highway to the door at my day job. No more 40 minute to 1 hour commutes in traffic.
So a couple more weeks of settling in and finding a morning routine and we'll be back on track.
Finally we're moving on up in life, and really truly starting fresh down the road a family should be heading down.

I am so happy to be here babe. I feel like we have a 'home' now. I can't wait to finish settling in, painting what we want and really living the life we always deserved and now can truly appreciate. Thank you for making this possible for us. You are my hero, my love, my friend and my life.
