And it Begins

To say that things are crazy at our house is an understatement. The movers are coming to load everything into a trailor for storage on Monday, July 28th- only 13 days away! I can't believe it is coming up so soon! That is also the day of closing on our townhome, which Ben does not have to be at because he is not on the title (I bought the house the day of our first date, so he had no say in the townhome whatsoever). Then, we will move into Ben's parents house, and we are VERY grateful to them for being willing to let us crash at their place for what we believe will be 10 days. We close on our new house on July 31st and actually get posession of the house on August 1st. But, we are hiring painters to come in and paint the whole house before we move in, which should take about a week. So, we are set to move into the new house on August 8th.

It is an emotional and stressful time. I was telling Audra's future mother-in-law, Jen (Cache's mom), about how Ben and I fell in love painting this townhouse and it was Audra's first home and there were lots of memories and everything, and she laughed at me and said, "kiss the walls and move on!" And, she is right, so I am glad that she said that- we will make many more new memories in our new house, that we bought together and will be able to decorate and everything else together. So, it is an exciting time- but I will be VERY happy in about 2 months when all of this is over!!!!

  1. It's hard to leave the house that started it all, but just think of all the wonderful memories that will be created at your new place! I'm so excited for you guys. It's stressful now, but once it's over, you'll be glad you did it. Congratulations!

  2. Beautiful house. You will love it! And of course we will get together there for a BBQ, right? We are a little bummed that house is not located in Strasburg!

  3. Nice that you are hiring movers and painters. Both are painful things to be done yourself.

  4. You'll survive, but you will have moments you might wonder if your sanity is intact. I'm so glad ya'll found a house for your growing family; you will have to post pictures after you have put your own Christina touch on everything. Congrats again!
