Thank Goodness for Dads

Seriously, I don't think this weekend would have gone as smoothly as it did without my amazing dad.  He arrived in Mountain View with the moving truck early Saturday (after driving 2.5 hours from my hometown), we packed up all my stuff, moved it into my new apartment in San Francisco... and then he literally had to turn around and drive the moving truck back to Fresno.  The parking sitch in SF is abysmal, and it would have been impossible for us to park the big truck.  I think I was speechless for a few moments when I realized the enormity of the task we had just completed, and how selfless my dad is for helping me do this.  All to jump back in the truck without so much as a hug and a kiss goodbye.

Obligatory beer the night before the move as I finished up packing.
Driving behind my dad on the way to SF!
Sissy also came to help.  Love her!

My friend Ashley stopped by too.  She happened to be visiting SF with another friend this weekend, and brought me the most thoughtful housewarming gift.  Now she is officially off to her own adventure in grad school!
I cannot wait to show you guys more of SF... but I wont be able to post pics of the apartment until it is all done :) Lots more unpacking and organizing to do!

  6. Having dad while you're moving is the best! He drove my Uhaul when I moved to Philly a few months ago. Seems like dads have to be the one to drive the big truck. It was definitely an experience. Good luck unpacking and making your new apartment a home!
