First, we covered the new carpet in the living room with a new tarp to put the cardboard boxes on.

Around 8:30 AM, on June 21, 2007, the storage van arrives with our stuff.

Then we watched as the living room filled with boxes...

By 1:00 PM, on Thursday June 21, 2007, The van was gone and our "stuff" was out of storage.

All of our furniture was in as well. (The mirror still needs to be put back on the dresser.)

On Saturday, June 23rd, we moved mose of what was in our temporary apartment to the house - including our cat Carbon.
