Let's Talk Hotel Livin' and Movin'

{Pre-Warning VERY picture heavy post ahead}

So let's rewind back to last Tuesday (when I should have realized that our move wasn't going to be easy). Josh and I did this to our wall when trying to take our TV down...

Isn't this just fantastic? There goes our security deposit. 

But our week wasn't all bad, we did find an incredible bakery while staying in downtown Detroit. 

Yum Baklava! 

We left our Detroit hotel last Friday and headed into 3 days of different towns and different hotels. First night we stayed in Cincinnati and honestly just slept. We were so exhausted from the driving we did that day.

Then we woke up early and headed for Kentucky...

I saw this sign and BAM everything was gorgeous. Kentucky is such a beautiful state. It reminds me a lot of Pennsylvania (where Josh and I are from). 

Although the next couple of pictures are taken from my iphone you can still see how gorgeous everything is. I followed Josh down and I am sure he was wondering why I was swerving a little as I'm attempting to take tons of pictures!

I just love all the mountains. 

So gorgeous right?

We spent the next 3 days touring a distillery, a winery, eating at wonderful restaurants, and just spending time together since Josh is leaving me for the whole week starting today.

Now who wants to talk about how bad our move went?

As the movers brought our stuff in bright and early yesterday piece by piece I noticed was broken, take a look...

Both drawers will not (no matter how hard I try) stay on their tracks.

All the light bulbs are missing! 

It is hard to see, but the entire leg is broken. The next pictures you can see how crooked the couch is because of it. 

This is the large couch that also now sit crooked. Along with these being broken, they also broke our hub cap clock that we made, one of our end tables, and basically packed our boxes at random (making them impossible to unpack). 

Sigh. I am done complaining though. I am happy to be moved into a house, with my boyfriend, and I am starting to love its old charm. Did anyone else have moving issues? Or a house that they are renting that needs some tough love?

Welcome Home Ya'll

Like my title? I hope I don't offend any southern bloggers, I'm only having fun! Well guys today was the day, the movers came, unloaded, and I was left with a house full of boxes (In Kentucky though!). 

I felt a little something like this...

I am in for a super busy week full of unpacking, a new job, and getting settled into this new city. If you are a reader of this blog you know that my boyfriend spent almost every week Monday-Friday down here for work while I spent every week living in our apartment in Detroit (alone), so when I heard we would be moving together down here I was thrilled! But all happy stories have to come to an end (at least for a brief moment) Josh will be working in Detroit this week, go figure and I will be in Kentucky (alone). 

I was hoping to do before and after pictures of our very dated home and share the woes of renting a house, but stupid me forgot to take pictures of our empty space. Josh did take a picture of when he first came and looked at the house...

So let's just say that there is old charm to the house. That needs to be worked on. As much as I wanted to cry when I first saw what I was moving into I have actually started to like it as our stuff gets placed in each area. 

I still plan on sharing all the ups and downs or renting, redecorating our new place (the best we can since it is a rental), and how we are adjusting to Louisville. I have MANY DIY projects planned it is not even funny. 

so stay tuned to see what is ahead...

Hopefully I don't end up like this person.

Let's Move To Kentucky

This is the week WE ARE MOVING...into a hotel. The movers are here today and will be packing up all of our stuff and will be delivering it who knows when. They said up to 11 days. Meaning we are moving into hotels. This week we are staying in a hotel in Detroit, since Josh has to work at his office. This weekend we are staying in Lexington Kentucky.  Then let's cross our fingers that we move into our new home by Monday. I am ready! I hope to also start work next week, but this is also up in the air.
