The big day is coming right up…..

We’ll be moving from our home in about a week!
I can hardly believe it.  I still have SO much to do here.  I am a bit in shock at how fast this is going…

We’ve lived in this home over half of our marriage.  2 of our children were born IN this home (one downstairs, one upstairs!). 🙂  This is the only place my oldest remembers ever living since she was 14 months when we moved in.

We are still living without certainty about the move.  Hubs still does not have a job lined up in the area we are moving to.  We still have repairs to be done on our house that we’ve got to have completed by closing…  I still have a TON of packing to do…

I have gotten rid of a lot of stuff because I don’t want to move and pack everything – we’ve gotten rid of (or are about to) our washer, dryer, fridge, swingset, a dresser, our deep freeze, a hutch from our dining room, a small table from our living room, a small shelf in our kids’ room, a desk, a small kid table, a toddler bed, our 3 TVs, a small entertainment center, a recliner, various outdoor toys and furniture of the kids’….. and yet I still feel like we have SO much stuff.  It’s sort of driving me crazy how much stuff we have lying around here.  Everything feels so disorganized… so disorderly.  After having our house on the market for close to a full year, I’m used to it being totally picked up and show-ready.  This is driving me nuts!

I am really going to be buckling down now and getting things packed.  I think I’ll start in one room and keep going until I’m done, all the way through.  It is going to be hard.  I am going to hate it and will be exhausted…. but I have got to do this.

I’m moving away from my mom and my grandma…. I’m moving away from some pretty darn amazing friends.  I’m walking away from the familiarity and comfort of being in “my hometown” here in west Texas. 

Someone hold my hand. haha
