More David

The next day, Monday, we had committed to helping David move into his new apartment. The plan was that he would get all checked in and have his storage unit loaded in the truck while we were at work. When we got home we would help load the stuff from the house that he was taking and then head up to Everett. We figured that we would be on the road around 5:00. We would unload for a couple of hours and then hit The Keg for dinner. David really wanted a good steak and we wouldn't agree to go with him on Sunday. Once again, the best laid plans...

This time, it was the landlord's fault. The process took longer than it needed and she had to call references and stuff. For an apartment complex that is used to working with the military, she really doesn't know the best way to deal with them. David was still in Everett dealing with his apartment issues (and he hadn't loaded ANYTHING into the truck!) when we all three got home around 4:15. So we ate dinner and waited for him. He finally got home around 5:30, we hurried to load the stuff from the house. Then we drove the 20 minutes SOUTH (Everett is North) to the storage unit and started to load up that stuff. When we were finally done with all that it was around 7:45. We started discussing directions to his apartment since we had four different cars driving up there and David mentions he still wants to eat dinner at The Keg! I couldn't believe it. My mom caved, so we had to as well.

We finished at the restaurant around 9:45ish. Then we drove to the apartment and started unloading. It took us about an hour to unload and then we had to discuss what to do with the truck. David wanted us to return it for him, but it needed to be filled up with gas and Brett and I were out of patience at this point. All three of us had to work the next day and we still had an hour drive home. We made David take care of the truck and drove home. I dozed off, thankfully. When we got home at midnight, I crashed into bed.

Another really LONG day!
