Urban Life

This is a picture of our building. Our apartment includes all of the windows on the second floor on the right. It is taking some time to get used to sharing walls with neighbors again. I think our upstairs neighbor was awake and walking around all night.
We had a pleasant trip across the country and were able to see family and friends along the way. The drama came when we were moving furniture into the apartment. We garage-saled most of our furniture in Corvallis and the only piece that came with us that I really cared about was the couch. Well, the movers tried and tried but couldn't get it through our apartment door. Eric was ready to pull the upholstery off and cut up the couch to get it in but the movers suggested taking it through a window. And that is what they did! The window on the right just above the building front door worked great. It was very exciting and I thought about documenting it with pictures but decided against it in case something went wrong (what evidence?). I guess urban movers deal with this kind of thing all the time but it was one for the memory book for me!
