Thursday Thoughts!

WooHOO the movers are here today!!! I am so happy to be packing out even though moving is not that fun, this is exciting. The closing on the house is Monday, things are progressing, we are relieved, yet still anxious for it to be a completely done deal.

• I am totally ready for SPRING
• I have way to much scrapbooking stuff
• Ziploc bags are your friend during a move
• There are dust bunnies even in a clean house
• Moving is always an adventure, this one will be no different

As they are here packing out all our worldly possessions I am a bit overwhelmed, but it is going well. I do not really enjoy being a "one man show" but that is my lot today. The movers have been good, we have a team of three, they are already done on the upper level, the main level is done with the exception of the kitchen, which always seems to take the longest and the lower level is coming along. So that only leaves the basement and garage which are pretty light but could be stretched if you don't want to be sent to another job; we'll see. I had hoped for a pack and load all on one day but they said, nope, so we will be loaded tomorrow and I hope it will all be completed by noon.

Since this was our first home to ever own, I have many different emotions swirling around in my brain today. I am proud of all the things we did to improve it...laying tile, putting down wood flooring, adding a bathroom, cabinets in the garage, landscaping, etc, but I am also ready to be out from under it. The costs of ownership really has been no different then anywhere else we have lived, we have done the same type of maintenance and upkeep as we usually do, however, the some of the projects have been a little more costly but well worth it. So as we move on, I have many memories of this home that I will take with me, mostly good with atleast one exception. The reselling process; which leads me to say...as of today I don't care if I am ever a homeowner again. My realtor says I will change my mind and that is quite possibly true, kind of like when you have just had a baby and say never again and then you do bring another life into this world. Not exactly the same but sort of in my world!

Anyway that's a glimpse into my thoughts today!
