 Good morning everybody. It is 7.04 a.m. and it is moving day. I can't believe it's here. We have Layla outside because it's actually only like 88 degrees outside. It's supposed to be really cloudy today so it's actually not that hot so that'll be really convenient because she can sit outside while the movers come. They're coming anytime between now and 8 a.m. So we're ready for them. Drew is out in the front or like in the garage putting air in my tires. You can probably hear it. We're just getting every last little detail sorted out. I feel like this is always the stressful part about moving. It's like the morning of just grabbing all the loose things and packing them in the car and stuff. So the first order of business, I have to go pick up the remaining dog poop in the yard and then I think I'm gonna strip our bed and like pack the final box. I know that I said last volume was the final box but there's always more boxes. Okay, let's do it. This way, I moved it this way. So we're going to lock this head room in the car. Excuse me, sir, we have to move this. I'm trying to remain positive. We've had a few hiccups this morning, which we'll get to. It's all part of moving. It's gonna be fine. The movers just got here. We were trying to keep Layla outside. It's too hot outside, so we brought her inside and we were trying to get her upstairs so we could hide her away from the movers because she has people aggression and she flipped out on the stairs and basically fell the entirety of going up the stairs. And so now I'm like on the verge of tears because I'm just like, it's gonna be fine. She's fine now. She's in a room with Mo. She's got her water. It's just like girl. And then the other thing is that here, I'll like set you down and love it. It's kind of echoey, sorry. The other thing is that we had our friend pick up the keys for us. I'm from the landlord like a couple of weeks ago and she's out of town. So her husband was gonna bring the keys back to the property so that we don't have to like have the animals and the movers and stuff in order to get the keys and he was gonna hide them. Like in a hiding spot on the property, like no one would ever be able to see it. And he came last night and like, then he said that the keys don't work but I'm pretty sure he tried the wrong door. So I'm basically trying to coordinate with a friend to see if she can go over there just to like triple check that the keys work because when my friend picked up the keys a couple of weeks ago they worked. So I think it's fine but that just stressed me out. I didn't sleep very well because you know, it's moving day and that's just what happens but it's going to be fine. But I just wanted to show like a lot of people were like, Carrie, how do you do this? Like so stress free, like moving is so stressful. Girl, I'm in a full body sweat, full body sweat. Like I am stressed beyond belief. So I just need you to know that. And if I wasn't vlogging, I'd probably be crying. Okay, bye. It's been a little while and I've calmed down a lot. I feel like things are like a lot more chilling out. Oh, I explained. I was like, Layla, you know, she just had her little episode and I was like, well, she was trying to get up. She couldn't get up. She was ice skating up the stairs essentially. Anyways, we got that all figured out. I'm obviously not going to like film the movers a ton cause that's like weird and invasive but we're excited. We're getting there. It's finally like making progress. So here's where we're at. We have most of the downstairs completely packed. Like the couches are totally gone. All that's left over here is the TV and then these like pieces of furniture. Also, my friend is going, she's on her way over to our apartment to like double check and make sure the keys work. Honestly, what a chaotic morning. The only other thing we're worried about, I'll show you, they're taking a water break but essentially I'll go upstairs and show you. I don't know if there's enough room in the truck for all of our stuff. And they came by yesterday and did a walkthrough and they had like a truck and like a trailer or like another smaller truck with them. And they were like, oh, it's fine. We'll only need the one truck but there's like still a lot of stuff left. Drew started panicking too. He was like, cause I was panicking this whole week. I was like, babe, we have too much stuff for one truck. And then this morning he goes, Carrie, I don't think there's going to be an effort. Okay. Oh my goodness, are you okay in here? Did you have an episode? Did you ice skate up the stairs? I was like, I didn't, I'm good. My sweet baby, he has nice and cool in here. Here is the progress with the moving truck. Layla's crying, cause now we're in here. I think they're gonna have enough room. Are our couches already in there? I guess they are. So yeah, here we go. Before I forget, I could not leave this house without honoring those of you who asked for a final alien cactus slash century plant update. If you missed it, we have this like century plant in our backyard and it started sprouting this like weird asparagus looking thing one day. I think I noticed it back in like, honestly, probably November and now it's June and it's grown to be about, I would guess 20 feet tall. Like it's crazy. So I will show you the final update before we go. So here she is. This is what it looked like, right? Like when we first moved in and it just looked like this. And then all of a sudden this thing started growing and it just grew from here, up to here, up to here and up to here. I'm gonna go behind it so you can see it. So here she is now in all her glory. I'm actually surprised because I thought it was gonna bloom way more but I think it actually already finished blooming. I thought it was gonna sprout like all the way down but it actually only did at the top. So as you can see, it's like pretty much the same height as our house. I mean, I guess depending, depending on like which angle you're looking at it from but that is the final century plant update. It looks like there's kind of like another one growing right here. And then this one has been dead like this since we moved in and the landlord doesn't wanna do anything about it. So whatever. But yeah, there she is, final update. I can't believe it grew this tall. This was the weirdest phenomenon that happened in our backyard but it was so cool to keep an eye on. Even though it still definitely freaks me out. Like that is an alien plant for sure. Final shot with me and my kid. Should we go to our new home? Let's go. Okay, we did it. We're in the car. Drew's pulling up his car on the trailer right now as we speak. Got Layla in the back seat. We put a comforter like even under her bed just so she can be extra, extra comfy. And then Mu is resting right here on his bed. And he's just gonna be under Drew's feet or like in Drew's lap or whatever cause he has a harness this time. And we tested it out a couple times taking him to the vet and he does way better than in the crate. So Drew will be handling him. I will be driving and we're saying goodbye to this house. So on to the next chapter let's do it. Because there's just like I said before there's always like a moving day hiccup who wasn't like sending. Like it was like not working to send them the first half of them to figure that out and get the pets texting them and the group chatting. Like we're out. All right, as per usual we're at our first stop which is in like Indio Coachella. So far like, you know, we're a little over halfway there. It is honestly been so nice. It's been so easy. Mu has been absolutely chilling to the max. He has never been like this in the car. Like every time he's been in a crate he just cries and cries and cries and cries and this harness has been like a game changer. So we're just keeping an extra close eye on him. He's down there and he's truly like happy. Surprisingly. Oh, I just filled up with gas. We're gonna get some maybe like sweet tart ropes and then we have two and a half hours left and we're at our new place. We were like entering into California and just talking to each other. Like, I can't believe we just did this. Like I can't believe we moved here. It's just so fun. So onward we go. It's much much later, but we made it. The sun is like pretty much going down. So this lighting is not ideal but I thought I would show you a quick empty apartment tour. The movers are gonna be here in like 30 minutes and we've been busy trying to like set up our wifi, order food. We need to figure out the parking situation. All that kind of stuff, but we're so excited. We're getting used to like the sounds. Layla is people watching and loving it. Just a quick update. We did hear the neighbor upstairs so far but it's pretty quiet. Like so far it's not loud. We've heard him like, I think move some hangers or something and like take a couple steps but so far it's been pretty good. Layla's getting used to people walking by. Forgive her. Also, this is the coolest thing ever. This freaking like people amazing. More vintage fixtures. Incredible. We love. We're so happy. So we're gonna like probably chill out for a bit. Take Layla on the back patio when the movers come in, move everything in. We're gonna eat our food and stuff and it's about to be chaotic and it's been a long day but we're here and we're so happy. Round two.
