Mission accomplished.
Dec. 1st, 2007 05:12 pmSo, here I am in Matt's new apartment, with one person asleep on the floor, one person filing her nails and one person checking her email as well. The boys are off returning the van. All in all, it was a pretty successful move - and we actually did need everyone we snuck in because Matt has more stuff than it looks.
The surprise went off wonderfully. I was late due to plane delays, but I handed Matt the card as planned and he was suitably puzzled. The awkward bit came when Twiller and Mo' didn't immediately appear. *wry* So Tap and I hung around, waiting, while Matt was suitably confused. Then they arrived, behind him, and you could have knocked Matt over with a feather. He didn't cry, no, but he did get a bit choked up. ;)
(The surprise, btw, for those playing at home, was to bring three extra people along to help Nute move. We did a whip around the XP people and got sufficient cash to bring Azzy, Twiller and Mo' along, plus hire a car for the weekend. This is how amazing everyone is. We didn't tell Nute, just showed up.)
The move went pretty well, and Matt's new place is great. Right downtown, within walking distance of actual things, and nice and big. Shower water pressure isn't fantastic, but I think I've been spoiled by our place.
Dinner when the boys get back and cleaned up, at one of the local places. I could eat a horse right now, down to the jockey.
