Brian got to pick which bedroom he wanted to put his coats in, and he picked the one with the walk-in closet. So even though I have more coats than he does, he gets the bigger closet. Oh, well. Maybe I can kick him out of the master bedroom closet. LOL. Probably not going to happen though, because Brian has a lot of clothes too. He has is own walk-in closet here at the townhouse now, and he fills every inch of it.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/7766711170\/\"  title=\"2012-08-12 11.26.30.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8427\/7766711170_6607252d4c.jpg\" width=\"480\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"2012-08-12 11.26.30.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our bikes were among the first things to get moved to the new place also.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/7767076392\/\"  title=\"2012-08-12 12.20.35.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8432\/7767076392_294dfaa65a.jpg\" width=\"480\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"2012-08-12 12.20.35.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After pressure washing the patio and the deck, we were able to move in our old patio furniture. We weren&#8217;t using it much here it at the townhouse anyway.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/7766789182\/\"  title=\"2012-08-12 11.38.46.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8424\/7766789182_24214a692f.jpg\" width=\"480\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"2012-08-12 11.38.46.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The furniture is old and will probably need to get replaced in the next year or two. Our friends <a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=8176\"  title=\"Jay and Becca's New Patio Set\">the Dills<\/a> and the Phelpi got some really good deals from Dillon&#8217;s during their 75% summer furniture clearance so we are hoping to do the same next year.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/7768179962\/\"  title=\"2012-08-12 14.52.16.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8432\/7768179962_fdf2b5b176.jpg\" width=\"480\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"2012-08-12 14.52.16.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to drinking some wine on the back deck this fall and winter.

This one sticks out a bit in depth, but I opted for this one as opposed to a smaller microwave because I didn&#8217;t want to see space at the top and sides of the microwave. The cut out that they made in the shelf for the power plug wasn&#8217;t big enough so Brian actually had to make the hole bigger. Thanks to our friend Feifel for coming to the rescue.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s still plenty to do. We cleaned the windows today and got window treatments for the glass doors to the back deck. Walls still need to be painted. The rest of our appliances still need to be delivered. We are gradually getting moved in to the new place, but I kind of wish that we would have just planned and executed our move all at once. I like that we&#8217;re not feeling rushed and can move at our own leisurely pace, but I&#8217;m so ready to be done moving already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian and I are slowly moving to the new place.
