Moving Day - Christine's move

It was in February 2008 when my sister moved back in with us from her fiancees place. That is where she accumulated such things as a buffet, futon, and an IKEA bed and PAX wardrobe. Moving her in the winter was brutal and it was such short notice that it took much longer to move because we were all unprepared. Flash forward a year and a half and now we're moving her out into her own to a place in the Younge and Eglinton area.

Her moving back in brought more commotion to the house - it brought a cute fur ball named Cooper. Cooper is a black Maine Coon (i.e. a cat) and myself and my parents have really taken quite a liking to the little guy. Especially my retired dad who always spends a significant amount of time with the cat every day. It's funny because growing up we never had pets and now with Cooper in the house, I'm wondering why not. Anyways, we're all concerned about how Cooper is going to respond to his new surroundings.

The place is beautiful. It is in a heritage apartment building and Christine has a fireplace and a nice view as well as more than enough space for her and Poopies (aka Cooper). The move itself brutal. It was my sister, myself, my parents and Lau as well as Danielle who helped on the Toronto leg of the move. I had hurt my knee tubing a week ago (more on that some other time) so I tried to stay away from the stairs, but I think I did pretty well considering. In any case it's all over with now.

All that's left is the unpacking and the configuration of all of her shit! Hahaha - Good luck! I hope that she's happy in her new home. I'm looking forward to some house parties! (Doesn't the brother get first dibs on the futon? Or is it Daniel? Win-win situation! :p)

We'll miss you Poopies!

At least we can chat on the phone Christine!
