We Finally Made It

Today was a very busy day, but we finally made it. We were able to begin to live in our new apartment today.
This morning, my husband and I woke up at 8 a.m. and headed toward to U-Haul to pick up a cargo van. It was our first time to use U-Haul. They open at 9 a.m. on Sundays. As soon as we got there, five or six Mexicans approached us and asked for a work for day to help moving. We didn't need to their help this time, so we just declined it. We rented a cargo van for picking up a queen size bed and mattress.
Then, we went to seller's house, which was on the second floor. The bed and mattress were very big and heavy, but we were able to move these because my husband instructed us to move furniture properly. When he was young, he worked a part time job for a moving company. He has many experiences to move major appliances and heavy furniture.
Renting the cargo van cost us for $46.28 in total. The rental rate was $19.95. Mile rate was $12.63 ($0.59 x 21.4 miles). Insurance coverage was $10.00. Environmental fee was $1.00. We paid tax for $2.70. In addition, we filled up the gas for $9.00.

After that, we continued to move our belongings into our new apartment and cleaned up our previous apartment.
Now our room is really messy. :P We will put away and organize stuff tomorrow.
