Graduation and Moving
May has been a busy month for us. It started with Kate’s graduation from Vandy on Friday May 8th. Mom, Dad, and Mamaw traveled to Nashville for the festivities. Graduation day was great. We went to breakfast and then off to graduation. It was supposed to rain all day but fortunately the morning started off sunny. By the time we got to graduation, the ceremony had been moved to under a tent and it started with precautionary tornado procedures in case we had to evacuate to nearby buildings. Kate soon found out that marriage moved her so far up the alphabet that she was the very first person to get her degree. That was definitely a different experience from her previous spot in the middle of the alphabet. Mom said the bright side was that if there was a tornado and they had to stop the ceremony, at least she would have her degree.
While Mom, Dad, and Mamaw explored Nashville, we packed up our little town house. We packed and packed and packed and packed some more. Then on Sunday, we finished throwing the last little bit in our truck and then made the drive to Ohio. We got into Columbus around 6 PM and then all of our amazing friends and Tim’s parents showed up to help unload. It was an amazing weekend. Between our parents and our friends we had so much help cleaning, packing, and unpacking. We can’t forget about the delicious food people brought too! We are so grateful for everyone’s time and energy.
So now we are mostly unpacked and have been making little additions here and there. (We’ve been to home improvement stores more times in the last few weeks than ever before.) Our major additions thus far have been blinds, a storm door, and a king sized bed. Lately we have been looking for living and bedroom furniture and boy have we seen a lot of it. It’s been a lot of work but a lot of fun picking out what our home will look like. Here’s a video tour of our house before we moved our stuff in.
We look forward to being able to seeing friends and family more now that we are back in Ohio.
