Moving, moving, moving

Well, the packers are here, and we are trying to stay out of the way.  There are currently 4 strange men handling all my belongings.  It's a weird feeling.  It always makes you see what you own through other people's eyes. How do others view our possessions--probably as junk mostly.  I think Scott and I are going to do some hard evaluating once we move about what is really necessary.  I wouldn't have really considered myself a pack-rat, but then I see everything, and I realize I need to de-clutter/simplify.  I need to get rid of stuff I don't love and pass it on to someone new. 

It's weird to have men pack up this time as last time it was 2 women who did a beautiful job.  I'm not real trusting of men packing breakables...just sayin'.  Scott has been known to be a bit clumsy with our breakables. 

We are hoping that everything with our loan goes through as we had a communication snafu, so we are still crossing our fingers this thing goes through.  Waiting is the hardest part. 

Our new house--soon

Home sweet home soon.

That balcony is going to get a little bit of work to make it seem a bit more open.  Kind of funky thing, but oh well.

Here are links to

.  Not sure how much longer the link will be active.  Can't wait to get some paint on the walls, my curtains up, and our stuff in there.  It will look totally different.

I don't have enough furniture!

A litte update

I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post.  Things are a bit crazy here with the hurry up and wait and then rush some more we've been experiencing. 

Since I broke my camera I've not taken any photos--obviously.  Here's a little written update on what you've missed.

--we lost the first house we had under contract due to foreclosure
--we went to Jamaica--an amazing vacation.  So sad we didn't have a camera
--we found another house after a 16 house in 1 day house search marathon--sooooo stressful
--we have an accepted contract but couldn't get a move-in day we wanted, so there will be about 16 days of limbo where we have no home.
--i am struggling to find C a new preschool. It is way more stressful than it should be
--we have started packing/prepping for packing in earnest, taking down stuff off the walls, switching out fridges, and moving personal stuff we don't want stored on a truck for 2.5 weeks.

We are ready for this phase to be over.  We still haven't heard if our inspection requests will be fixed, so we're still in the waiting phase.
