All moved in!

We're almost all moved in! Except for hanging some pictures and curtain rods, and setting up the last of the VCR's, DVD's, Wii's and all the other electronic junk that I'm no good with, we are officially apartment dwellers. DH says we're "scrubs" now, whatever that means : )

Trying to fit our stuff into this widdlebiddy apartment has been interesting. But it will be fun to see how much we can survive with (or without). I may not need 2 tons of Tupperware and most of the scrapbooking stuff I never used anyway! By the end of our 8 months here, we may just have a huge "moving in" sale and sell half of what's been in storage.

The best thing about this place is DH is a mile from work. It takes him 7 minutes to get to work and 5 minutes to get home. He said something yesterday about missing the "down time" he got during his former 15-20 minute drive home. I looked at him like he was crazy. I love having him home at 6:08 instead of 6:24. Hey, sixteen minutes makes a big difference in whether or not your pasta is past its prime, y'know?

All in all, we're looking forward to a VERY happy new year, and hope you are, too!

On The Move...

Guess what? Our house sold! It's been on the market for a little over 3 months and the right people finally came along. Guess what else? They want to close on December 29th. OMG....

We looked at some houses this morning, while two showed potential, they weren't "perfect". We've been so spoiled with this house, finding anything that comes anywhere near acceptable is going to be quite difficult. We'll continue to look, and may end up renting until we can find the perfect home, or decide to build something of our very own.

Meghan's having a hard time with it. She doesn't like looking at houses. Trying to explain to her that someone is going to buy our house and we can't live there anymore is going to be hard. I'm hoping the transition will go smoothly, but that's a lot of change for an almost-4-year-old.

I'm praying for strength, patience and understanding, and peace. Strength for all the boxes I'll be packing, patience and understanding for helping Meghan get through this, and peace for my mind and heart.
