Up first is my most favorite and only favorite from the week: I FINALLY GOT ALL OF MY BELONGINGS FROM DALLAS! (And then moved them into my Vegas apartment.) Double yay.
Have I ever mention that I have the best Mom in the history of Moms? I'll tell you why. She flew from Raleigh, NC (where she lives) to Dallas to pick up a moving truck that I reserved from Penske. Then she and my brother proceeded to load it with all of my boxes, furniture, etc.

Then ... are you ready for this? She drove that 16 foot truck from Dallas to Las Vegas all by herself. That's a 20 hour drive with a moving truck by herself. Mom of the year, I know. Wouldn't you agree?
I'm not even close to being done unpacking, but I hope to be by the end of this weekend. To tide you over, here are a few photos of the view from the balcony of my new place:
I suppose I could show you my front door:

Any inside pictures will have to wait because I still have a lot of boxes to unload and things to put away. I've actually finished my kitchen and dining room, but I want to wait to do one big post of pictures from the interior. MMM K?
So I'd say that is a pretty big Friday Favorite so I rest my case. I have nothing else to trump it. Now you tell me what your favorites are from the week and link-up below!
yay for being the first linky (and obviously having an insomnia problem)!
ReplyDeleteYour momma DEFINITELY gets mom of the year award! I know my momma loves me but she knows how much stuff I have and there is no way she would pack it all up and drive out to me! haha
glad your happy little abode is coming together! everything outside looks gorgeous!
That was so nice of your mom! That's one hell of a drive... love your photos, one of my favorite things about Vegas are the sunrises/sunsets over the mountains :)
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet of your Mom, not to mention brave driving a big moving truck for that long! Your new place looks really nice! I hope you get settled in soon! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteAww moms are the best! How are you liking Vegas?? I went to UNLV, and although I don't think I'll ever be moving back I definitely miss it sometimes!

ReplyDeleteYour view is amazing!! We're moving to the West Coast next summer, I'm so excited, it's beautiful out there!

Awww your Mama is so great! My mom would be like "are you kidding me?" haha but then she would probably do it still haha.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet Momma!
ReplyDeleteI'm about to move too...already dreading it even though it's just to a new place in the city I'm already in.
How cool is your mom!!! Your place has a comforting view and the view of the front makes you want to look inside! I look forward to seeing the inside picture post(s)!!! Happy unpacking!

How wonderful! Your mom sounds like my mom. She drove from Atlanta to Tampa in a Uhaul alone while I drove my car a few years ago. Your views are very pretty, and it sounds like your transition is going so well. And I mean, you live in Vegas. That's pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mamma Bargain Blonde! Seriously, she is amazing. What a mom :)
ReplyDeleteThose views are gorrrrgeous, you lucky girl! Good luck again with the rest of unpacking and I seriously cannot WAIT to see what you do with the inside!! :)
