December 1 was the big move into our new apartment. Our cousins, Nate and Jaimie, moved from Portland to Seattle the month before with a U-haul full of belongings and Ken, who was currently unemployed, helped them move in. Ken helped Nate carry a couch up 5 flights of stairs, so despite my insistence that we really didn't have enough stuff to warrant help, Nate and Jaimie felt indebted and promised to help us move in.
That Saturday morning, Ken and I packed our clothes into some suitcases and piled the boxes that my mom recently shipped to me in Susan's living room, ready to go into the car when Nate and Jaimie arrived. Under the direction of Max, we formed an assembly line and had everything in the car (2 suitcases and a chair had to wait for another ride) in less than 20 minutes. We drove 2 minutes to the new apartment, and unpacked in another 20 minutes. It was a really fast move in and even though we didn't need the help, it was awesome to have it.
