With an Adventure: Moving

Hello friends!

It's official...I really hate moving. Packing, unpacking, cleaning, losing things, breaking things. I can't stand it. I like to be in new places, but I don't like the process of getting there. 
The BF and I moved over the past three days. We are close enough to go back and forth. It had its benefits and drawbacks. I am very ready to not be in a car for a good long time. 

I'll update you all in the next couple of days between bouts of unpacking and organizing. Wish me luck! 

Day 1: 
We left the house with a car load of things. Almost all the boxes we had packed. Then we drove two and a half hours north to the town where Shane will be working so that he could meet with his boss for a while. 
I went and sat by the river and read for about 45 minutes. 
I was so glad to be in the sun, relaxing for a bit. Plus, I had a beautiful view. 

When the BF was done I picked him up and went back a half an hour south so that I could get some things done for my new job. 
Luckily I talked Shane into going to one of the bars I loved in college for lunch and a beer. 

Then we finally got to go to our new apartment, sign the lease, and move in with the first round of things. 
(Forgive the crappy iPhone photos)
We started to unpack, and I made some quick American Chop Suey which is one of the BF's favorite meals. 
It's so fast and easy to make. I usually just sauté some ground beef or turkey. Then I add some peppers and garlic. And just toss it all together with some tomato sauce and cooked pasta. 
Typically I would make my own sauce. But, since I was in the midst of moving and not have any spices, I just bought some Newman's Own Roasted Garlic pasta sauce. It was pretty good! 

It was a crazy first day of moving!  
Stay tuned for more!

Does anyone have any good moving tips?  I could use them for the next time around!
