Julie in Kentwood???

It’s official. I moved! Jon and I found a great condo to rent. We will move him in after the wedding. I now technically don’t live in GR. I now live in Kentwood, which is a suburb of Grand Rapids. But I’m totally not changing my blog title. It will just have to do.

As luck would have it, it poured rain the ENTIRE weekend. Like crazy rain for two days straight that never stopped. So needless to say we got wet. Wet would be an understatement…we got drenched! It was painful…but at least it is done. Well…I still need to unpack….yuck. We had help moving from Jon’s best man, Danny, and his parents and sister Erin. They made it 10 times easier that’s for sure.

So now, I’m in the condo all alone with Pancake and Henry. Pancake totally loves his new digs! He has been exploring every nook and cranny. Henry, on the other hand, either hides in the closet or under the bed. He’ll come around eventually.

Well, I’m off to work on unpacking…it really is a daunting task. Can’t wait until my mom and bridesmaids are here to help! Pictures coming soon!

    I’m so glad you and Jon found such a beautiful place to live. We had lots of fun helping you move. It’s still raining and several schools are closed due to flooding. So the rain is still falling. Hope you got warm and dry…hopefully a hot bubble bath in that fantastic spa tub. Glad the boys’ are getting to like their new home. Don’t let all the moving interfere with this special time in your life….the boxes will wait for you.
