Totally enjoyable!
We had a great group of people gathered to help my sister move to her new digs.
She lived on the 3rd floor and I made a vow to get the most out of this adventure by carrying things up and down the steps to get my daily workout.
Exhilarating!
At first, quite a daunting task but as time went by, could not believe how we got it all in order and successfully moved an entire apartment from point A to point B.
If there is one thing I can say about my family (and there are so many things), we have fun with everything we do. We are quite blessed. Even in the act of moving chairs and drawers and knick knacks, we have a blast!
How could you not? If you love life, you love life all the time!
It was time consuming on such a hot, humid day. But at the end of the day, complete satisfaction.
We had one shopping cart, about a dozen people, and many muscles!
The heavy items went into the shopping cart down the elevator and the rest of us carted boxes and odds and ends weirdly shaped up and down the stairs.
I had a blast.
One of my favorite moments was when my youngest niece's boyfriend got a glimpse of my sister's private articles of clothing in one of the open drawers --not uncomfortable, rather comical!
Another great outlet was tossing things into the dumpster. Ok, not tossing, but slamming unwanted articles such as a small tv, a cabinet, and a few other things into the dumpster to let off a little steam.
Then helping get her settled into her new place as best we can was exciting....though that will take longer as she figures out where she wants what....but still, it was nice seeing her joy and celebrating this great accomplishment with her.
At the end of the day, exhausted yet energized knowing it was a good day! The first day of the rest of my sister's life, hopefully surrounded by love, family, good friends, nice neighbors and the start of many new memories!
