Wow, have the past few days been very hectic! Between packing, taking care of the babies and seeing lots of friends before we move, life has certainly been a whirlwind! We are so glad the day we've been waiting for has finally arrived.
Dan and I spent all day Saturday loading a 26' Penske truck with all of our stuff (thanks to everyone who helped out!). Nothing like moving to show a person how much stuff you can accumulate over a lifetime; one truck wasn't enough! Dan is going to have to rent another truck next week and pick up the rest of our stuff. Goodwill is going to love us! We decided nothing gets unpacked unless it has a place; otherwise, out it goes.
We spent a very long Sunday cleaning the house we were renting and getting last minute items packed since we had to leave so early on Monday morning. We stayed with differnt friends Saturday and Sunday night, and at my dad's house Monday night, and finally in our new house Tuesday evening. Four houses in four days; the babies were so confused! They were troopers the entire time, and they have become very versatile. I think Olivia was so excited to have her own room she decided to wake up at 3am and NOT go back to sleep. So we decided to feed them and hit the road to avoid Monday morning rush hour in a moving truck. The drive went pretty smoothly (Dan said he felt like a trucker in the huge truck!) and we got to my folks house around 10am. We were so exhausted, but not time to nap. Off to closing...
Last year, we sold our house on March 22nd, and this year we closed on March 26th...almost one year to the day. We were moving the same weekend 2 years in a row, but not next year. No way! There were some last minute issues that came up and we weren't sure we would be able to close as planned, but luckily everything came together at the last minute.
We're home owners once again!!!
I'll post pics as soon as I can get them uploaded. For now, time to tackle the first box...
