We'd toast with champagne, but how do we open it? (we did)
*note: yes, that is a lei. And yes, that is another lei over the lamp in to the right. I just counted 8 leis in my vicinity. We like leis.
After I had been puttering around Del 206 by myself for weeks, the other girls finally joined me!
We bustled about getting things set up...Erin and I had done a little bit with the furniture, since Alyssa and Sarah brought pieces in gradually, but the girls had to finish setting up their rooms and bits of the bathroom.
Earlier in the week I had engaged in a rather creative little bit of 'home improvement' that ultimately came down to some not-quite-canon uses for picture hangers, nails, and duct tape...all in the name of organized showering:
As Alyssa pointed out today, we now really do move in a pack. We are like a little clump of happy women moving around. It's cute, I'm sure. Moving day went off pretty much without a hitch, since it had been mainly a gradual process. Seeing as we don't have LOADS of space to work with, we've done a pretty good job of decorating, in my opinion. And we love furniture that is not expensive, so my parents' gift of a 1967 Ethan Allen coffee table is mucho appreciado. It looks good for being so over the hill. Perfect foot propping-height, see, my feet are on it now:
So now we're all home. A pink champagne toast (while wearing 5-for-$1 leis, because WHY NOT?!) to ring in the new digs and we're just about all set! Please, feel free to check out some more gratuitous photos of our living arrangements:
We even have a family portrait hanging on the wall....
{no, that is not our child.}
{yes, that is awkward.}
