It is less than 48 hours unti we will be officially living in our new house! I can't believe it. In some ways I wish I could just fast-forward to a few weeks from now when we are settled in the house. But, what fun would that be? Although I do not like this in-between period of most of our stuff is packed/I don't know where anything is or where anything goes in the new house, I know it will feel so good to get everything organized in the new house. Some part of me looks forward to it, but I am most excited about decorating!!
So far, moving with kids has been about as stressful as I thought it would be. I think we've been handling it pretty well, but I've definetly had my moments. The hardest part so far has just been trying to keep our house clean while we have had walk-throughs, while trying to pack. But, I guess it has paid off because we have a contract on the house! We actually found out on Monday, the same day we closed on the new house. What a great day! We've had almost 50 walk throughs in 1 month of being on the market! We have had to spend a lot of time out of the house, which hasn't always been easy with the kids. We went on many Starbucks drive-thorough runs when we just had to be out for 15-20 min. Coffee for me, and cake pops for the kids (and myself, to be honest)
We were already able to get the rooms we wanted painted, and we are officially movie Friday. The new furniture we ordered is coming on Saturday. It's going to be like Christmas morning for Ray and I! We can't wait! I think we are most excited that we are finally getting a King-sized bed! We are also so grateful that our parents will be watching the kids overnight over the weekend. That is really going to be the biggest help! I know I'll be a crazy woman trying to get everything done right away, but I also know it's going to take a while to get settled.
We have been to the house the last few days a little bit each night, but it definetly will take a while for it to feel like home. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out which light switch was for which light today! It really feels unreal, but in a good way. I've hd a few moments of being sad packing up this house, especially getting rid of Charlie's baby stuff that he's too big for already. I'm pretty sure I will cry on moving day once the house is empty. But, I know we have many, many new memories to make in our new home.
Next time I update, we will be there!
