Movin' On Up

The move is officially over! Halle-freakin-lujah!! The old place is all cleaned and the keys are turned in to the landlord. It sure took forever! The joys of moving with a wee babe. She sure was good though. So patient. She really is a good baby. We are so lucky!

I was a bit sad as we were locking up for the last time. The first 4+ years of our married life were spent there as well as it was Sophia's first home. Lots of good times and memories. We are looking forward to getting our new place put away and organized. Oh! The joys of moving! Nothing like moving to make you want to get rid of stuff. We did a couple of trips to D.I. but we still have more we can give away. Hopefully while we are still in "dejunk" mode we will get er done.

I was thinking the other day that when I moved to Kentucky back in 2000 that all I brought with me was what I could fit in my car. I also had a friend drive out with me so I had him and his bag that took up some room. Each time I came home to Utah for a visit I would bring an empty suitcase with me and would bring back stuff with me. Five years later when I decided to move back to Utah I had to have a garage sale. (Granted, I did sell a bed, entertainment center, couches and a washer and dryer that I got out there in addition to "stuff" but it still amazes me.) I got a small U-haul to pull what I didn't sell or give away when I moved. It's amazing how fast a person can accumulate stuff. Too bad I'm such a sentimental sap! But I guess that is part of my "charm". ;]

I may still be out of the loop for a while longer. Our internet isn't working properly and we have much unpacking to do. I'll try to get on to say hi here and there. Thanks for sticking with me, my faithful readers...all 3 of you. ;] You are awesome!
