It’s only been 6 months…since the last move I made. That move was a strategic move….downsized from a home with a little over 2K sq ft to a townhome of about 1300 sq ft. The home was to have been ours…if we had gotten the owner to make a good deal. It was old, but the yard was HUGE; the kids could walk to/from school; we had nice neighbors and it was close to everything! The townhome was in a totally different city and environment. So many folks around, there was no sense of privacy or security. Never knew who the neighbors would be. Not to mention the noise of the local factories…three that I recall!
That was home for 6 months….up until March 27th….we signed the papers on our FIRST home!! We moved in and slept in it on March 29th!!! It’s new construction…built in 2005/2006 but never lived in. VERY nice! Elegant and roomy! I cannot forget the lack of NOISE. Well, with the exception of kids…but that’s not a bad noise. We live in a cul-de-sac (i.e. court) and apparently the neighbors home is THE place for kids to gather. At 8am on weekends; we hear the faint thumping of the basketball. It’s not very loud and at first it might sound like a knock upstairs. All in all, we have a very nice home and moving in has not bee toooooo awful. I just don’t deal well with chaos….it’s gotta be my old age. I cannot wait to use the garage for what it’s built for… MY VEHICLE!!! Right now, there’s piles of boxes from the rooms of furniture we had to assemble, piles of stuff to be placed in the house, piles of things we are parting with and of course…that “hummm? what do I do with that?” pile(s). I have been fortunate to have a few days off work; working things in slowly…ensuring it’s where I want it or where it “should” be. We are due to get the dining room furniture out of storage on Friday. Our brand new sectional is due on Saturday…while I’m at work!! Thankfully, the hubby has been available when I’m not for deliveries. Not that I’m keeping score…but I’ve been the major one here when things are delivered.
Well….I’ve finished my break. Time to get things moving from the garage to their respective rooms. Oh… the woes of moving!!!!
