ange & lauren’s big mtl adventure

i’m in the midst of packing up my apartment. i have no idea how i have so much stuff. i am only two thirds done and it seems like i have a TON of boxes. upon counting it seems i have 12 boxes. i have no grounds for comparison since the last time i moved i didn’t have a lot of “stuff” but i sure am glad that lauren and i have the biggest apartment sized truck booked. it’s amazing i have so much stuff in my somewhat small apartment.

lauren is in montreal this week for work. how’s that for funny? she doesn’t find it that funny since she had to do all her packing over the last couple weeks and finish the rest on thursday. my goal is to finish up the vast majority of my packing by wednesday afternoon so that when she gets back, i’ll be free to help her and help decrease her stress.

the best part of lauren being in montreal is that she picked up the keys and got to take a look at the apartment. the best news ever was that after lauren checked it out she said, “it’s even BIGGER than i remember it.” she also said there was more kitchen and bathroom storage than she remembered, too. she did say that we’ll definitely need to paint, as the last tenants lived there for 6 years PLUS the colours are quite bright and not quite to our tastes…. so that would be the only downside to the whole “bigger than i remembered” thing… it will probably take longer to paint. whoops. at least our landlord promised to pay for the paint.
