We're finally moved! Sigh...

[Kay in Cal]

After three weeks plus of unremitting packing and hauling and cleaning... as of tonight we are out of the old place and into our new house! We actually started sleeping here last week, but still had to clean/debride/excavate the old place. The last of the garage was done today... huzzah! :party:

Revelations:
1. We have too much stuff.
2. Freecycling is great--I took a lot to the Goodwill, but giving it to a specific person was so nice.
3. Having a back yard is the BEST thing ever. My boys can actually entertain themselves for a while, and make noise that I don't have to hear but can still supervise through the window. It's awesome! If you've never lived without a yard, you just don't know how lucky you are...
4. School is going to start a bit late this year. Maybe the week after next. For now we are all still in boxes, but we do have an awesome school/play room now!
5. Did I mention we have too much stuff?

WooHoo!!

Congrats. Best wishes for a speedy settling-in.:grouphug:

Glad to hear your move is almost completely done, Kay. We just finished our move a couple of weeks ago so I can totally relate to the unremitting packing, hauling, cleaning part. Not a lot of fun, is it? I'm so glad to hear that your kiddos are thrilled with the new yard. :hurray: Enjoy the unpacking and setting up of your new space.:)

I wondered where you'd been! Glad to hear you're settling in. :)

[Dana in OR]

Isn't moving the worst? So glad it's over for you! I too kept shaking my head, "How did we end up with so much stuff?"

:thumbup:
Oh, and rejoicing with you over the backyard!
