The Big Move

Well folks we have officially been in Tampa, FL for a week.  It still feels like an extended vacation, but I think that will all change next week when I start work as an SLP.

We began our drive to Tampa on Sunday August 1st around 5:30pm and drove all through the night only really getting caught up in rush hour traffic in Chattanooga and Atlanta. We reached our final destination Monday afternoon just in time for an early dinner with our two friends Brinton and Amanda who also live down here.  My brother and dad helped Nick and I move down and turned the week into a vacation filled with a trips to Clearwater without Nick and I, Busch Gardens, St. Pete's Beach with Nick and I, a movie (The Other Guys), bowling, and of course some moving.

While we have been in Tampa for a week, we didn't get to move into our apartment until Saturday the 7th.  Thankfully Brinton and Amanda let us crash in their extra bedroom.  On Saturday we repacked the two cars and headed over to get our keys.  Our place in a nice 2 bedroom/2 bath, with quite a bit of storage space.  We are all unpacked and even have things on our walls.  It is strange to be living with a boy, and not my nontraditional roommates of mom and dad.  Here are some pictures of our place:

Kitchen with lovely cupcake decor.

Master bedroom

Crazy messy 2nd bedroom/soon to be office

The living room with my brother's art.

The company I work for allows us to rent furniture witch is the greatest thing ever, even if we end up with a red couch and chair (not a big red fan).

Nick and I are going to try to get in as much touristy things before next Monday when I become a working girl.  We hope everyone back in Kansas is doing well and missing us enough to come visit!
