Anticlimatic...

So we moved from our concrete box to our glass one.

As we did so, I mentioned that it would be interesting come our first earthquake.

well...

It wasn't all that. In fact...we missed it! We had a 4.0 pretty much centered in Lima just after midnight. It was about the time I finished setting up my home network (We got internet...another story) and then...nothing. We didn't even notice. We had to hear about it from friends this morning who felt it. I guess my glass box has some strength in it in all the right places.

Movin' on up!

Just as the summer missionaries left and we were ready for a second wind (by that I mean day of rest), we up and moved. The original plan was to take our time, having the whole month of August to slowly move (after all it was only 5 blocks away).

So August 2nd we got the keys to the new place and started moving things that we keep in storage. Well, as things go (when I am involved), we ended up 80% moved by the end of August 3rd. As we continued with the madness into August 4th, Susie called the mission office to ask if we could get some help moving the big stuff (frig, freezer, washer, dryer, bedroom furniture). After all, we were moving to the 5th floor and the only way up was the stairs. (As a side note, all that heavy stuff was moved up 5 flights for about $120 total...not bad!) Back to Susie's call...What she left off was the phrase "next week" when she requested the movers. The result: 3PM August 4th the movers arrived and by 8PM we were completely moved out of the old place. The new place was a wreck for a good long time, but hey, we completely packed up and moved in about 2 days. That may be a record!

Here's the new place. We went from concrete box to glass box.
