Farewell 10-L

Tonight is the last night in our apartment, which has been our home for the last 5 years and 8 months. The movers will be here at 8:30am tomorrow morning.

We went to dinner across the road at Stadium Brewing Company for one last time. We have lost count how many times we have eaten or had a drink at that place and it is where we held my 30th birthday party, so it seemed a fitting place to eat tonight.

We have been packing on and off for almost 3 weeks and the house still seems very full. We seem to have way more stuff than we really appreciate. Luckily the current place measures about 1,200 ft² (111 m²) and the new place measures about 2,000 ft² (189 m²), so we will have room for all of this stuff.

We will miss 10-L as it was the place we lived in when many significant things happened. Just a few that come to mind immediately:

• It was the place I came home too after my back surgery and negotiated gingerly for weeks afterward.
• It was the place I slipped on the stairs, just after my back surgery, the only time ever in living there that I slipped on the stairs, oh irony, how you mock me.
• It was the house we lived in when we got married - all 3 times!
• It is the house that we were in when Shari and Leon visited from Australia and stayed with us.
• It was the house we brought Callum home from the hospital too.
• It is the house that my Mum stayed in when she visited from Australia.
• It was the house that Callum spent his first and second Christmases in.
• Jen and I both turned 30 living here.
• Jen's parents and my Mum met each other for the first time here.
  

Farewell 10-L, its (mostly) been fun.
