Moving out
On March 1, 2010, Ryan and I moved out of the first apartment we shared together to a newer, bigger, shinier place. The following pictures show the walls of the old place, parts of the new place, and a load of shenanigans in between. Enjoy 
Thanks to Joey, Nicole, Andrew, Mom and Dad for moving us in!
[1] The beginning of “life on my own.” I was so excited that I got to write on the walls. When I found out I was only going to be living there for a year, though, I didn’t end up writing very much. It seemed like too much work to not take with us, but I’ve at least got pictures of most of what we wrote.
[2] Andrew’s contribution to the wall from one of my favorite movies, haha.
[3] Of course I had a Beatles/English corner. There was a British flag hanging next to these quotes.
[4] Kelsi wrote, “Seestars Fo-eva! Whether we like it or not! <3 Kelsi” I’m sad that these pictures didn’t come out very clear.
[5] Nicole said, “Your Mom is BATTY (and we love her!)”
[6] Mom responded, “Yea me ” My Mom rocks!
[7] This “Completely logical idea” was for someone to follow Ryan around with a guitar playing a soundtrack to his life….
[8] Narcisleptic is someone who is narcissistic and narcoleptic: Someone who wants to sleep with themselves but keeps falling asleep.
[9] This started out as just taking a picture of us under the writing on the wall that says, “Facebook just got simpler January 6, 2009,” but Joey and Ryan are goofballs and enjoy playing with cameras.
[10] Happiness!
[11] AAAAAH!
[12] Wha happened? (A Mighty Wind reference)
[13] Hrm, I think I should’ve tried to lick his eyeball…that always freaks him out 
[14] When Ryan came to visit me that weekend, we decided to change our statuses to “It’s complicated,” because I wanted to go out with him, but we still had the distance issue. Shortly into the trip I realized that distance once again does not matter, and more than that, we’re old enough to do something about the distance now, whereas back in high school, we were stuck. So on January 6, I asked Ryan if he wanted to make it official and move to MA, he said yes.
Seconds later he geeked out because Joey looked like Johnny Depp from Secret Window. Now, he looks like Animal:
[15] I’ll let the hat and mess speak for themselves.
[16] Hello, Joseph!
[17] For some reason, Ryan attacked my hair. I don’t know why he did, but it felt AMAZING.
[18] Grrrrr.
[19] That felt good
[20] Really, Ryan? Must you deflower my Christmas gift from Kari?
[21] Setting up the essentials at the new place. Gotta have the computer cuz you gotta have TUNES!
[22] Look, I found The Guild! Not that it’s important right at this moment…
[23] Phone’s ringing…this place is a mess.
[24 ... an alien] Is it an alien? Or is it a JOEYMONSTER! He has at least six eyes!
[25] Joey has weird timing with the camera…but pretty candle. I think the orb on my arm is the ghost that was making all that noise!
[26] Ryan with his feet up, being lazy (kidding!)
[27 ... it waved at me] Yeah, random foot picture by Joey…
[28] We got all the furniture organized! We put as much up against the wall as possible to hopefully block the sound more.
[29] Look at all the extra room for activities!
When I get everything cleaned up this weekend, I’ll take a few more pictures; hopefully it will be fully decorated, too! I’m so excited about this new place

looks like you had a good time at least. I hate to move so I feel your pain… glad you have a nice new place

Great timeline! Also a fun little recap of you and Ryan’s lives together so far (take #2). I gotta be careful; with all that wall space I’m going to want to snatch up every cute poster I see for you guys! The new place totally rocks!
