We made it

Tonight I sit typing at my Mom and Dad's. It has been 5 "ish" years since I last spent the night here. This evening I will sleep in my old bedroom. Meanwhile two very full storage boxes sit on my drive way. These boxes contain a lot of the possession and memories accumulated since I last lived at 1011. When I last moved I was moving into my first house with my new husband. We moved in with very few possessions. This move, as we learned today, is different. We have accumulated. And when we stood back looked at it all puzzle pieced into a large box it was astounding.

We realized today that no matter how hard we tried things got put into random boxes and the POD was not packed the way we thought it would be. In the end we just did it. Thankfully we had a lot of family help getting it done.

Tomorrow we will begin tidying, getting rid of garbage, cleaning out the fridge, and going to Value Village. The new home owners have a 48 hour pre-possession walk through tomorrow and I feel the need to leave cleaning supplies everywhere so they know we have intentions for this great endeavour on Sunday.

Tonight it is quiet around me. Now I am going to try and quiet my mind on my pillow.

Happy Weekend readers.....you are out there right? Thanks for listening.
