Hello, There!

Hello, there! It’s been a while. I’m so thankful my crazy month is over and I can get back to a more normal schedule. Not only was I preparing for our move, but I also worked overtime for several weeks due to coworkers going on vacation. I’m a little worn out. Our move was finally finished last weekend! We hired movers to help with the big stuff and the boxes that were ready (We did spend Saturday and Sunday moving over quite a few boxes ourselves). Our moving team was a hoot! There was so much silliness mixed in with the seriousness of loading the truck that it felt like we hired a group of friends. It made for a great experience. Even better is that only one piece of furniture was damaged, and it was nothing that a little wood glue couldn’t fix. Unfortunately, my house still looks like this over a week later…

Because we moved into a smaller place, we have to figure out what is being donated, what we are keeping, and how on earth we are going to organize it all. I don’t think we donated this much even when we moved here from Arkansas, but we feel pretty good about it. Our belongings are a mix of things we bought ourselves and things we got from thrift stores when we first moved into apartments. It feels great to pare it down to only what we love and can use. And let’s face it, I don’t wear anywhere near all of my clothes in my closet. Hopefully someone else will be able to get more use out of them. I can’t wait until everything is sorted and/or unpacked, and I can show off our new place!
