movin movin movin

last sunday to prepare for amber moving in karen and i had to move a giant piece of furniture out of the empty room upstairs and put it downstairs. our former roommate hadn't come to get it yet and we couldn't wait any longer.

this is the piece of furniture (notice my camera case for size comparison). when we first tried to lift it we were hoping it'd be one of those looks heavy but really isn't pieces of furniture. sadly this was not the case

we carried it down these stairs-
and around this corner-
and almost died in the process. about half way down the stairs we realized we had made a horrible mistake (in even trying to move it) but it was much to late to turn back! after pausing briefly on the stairs we had to continue lest we be crushed by the sheer weight of the mammoth piece.

and in the end we succeeded! hooray! the furniture now sits in our living room (which is where it is in the first picture) waiting to be picked up.

and as an awesome bonus amber is successfully moved in! the move went smoothly and it's been so great to have her here!!
