PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

February 1, 2008 had finally arrived. Everything was packed and ready to move into our new apartment. We had arranged it so he would be off work and as soon as I finished school for the day we would begin the move. We had five different people lined up to help us throughout the day, none of whom knew each other. Little did we know that the move was going to take us several weeks. Actually moving the items only took a couple of days because of all of the help we had throughout those days. Unpacking, finding, and organizing all of the items from the move took even longer. The beginning of the move was interesting because no one that was helping us move knew anyone else who was assisting. This meant that there were awkward silences all around until people got comfortable with each other and then once people realized that they had things in common, laughter became commonplace. Because we had so many people helping us the move was much less stressful and was completed with far more ease than it would have been if it was just the two of us. Needless to say we were both extremely nervous. After all it was our first apartment on our own and not only was it on our own; we were completely dependent and reliant on each other to survive. That weekend we learned much about each other and made new friends that have since enriched our lives.
