I worked on Saturday and it was really busy. I babysat on Saturday evening, but it was kind of cheaty as I went over late and all the babies were asleep. I just watched tv, while their parents went cosmic bowling. My kind of gig.
Yesterday, Sunday, was mostly devoted to beginning the move. We actually got quite a bit done. We have only been there a little over a year, so haven't accumulated a great deal of stuff that isn't absolutely necessary. Just trying to get my utilities switched over and all that. Guh. So far, I have the electricity scheduled to be switched and I have the DirecTV people coming out. But I am having less luck trying to schedule the gas to be turned on and the switching of the internet service. These folks are hard to pin down...mostly because I don't know account numbers and things...they just take my money automatically each month and I don't have bills sitting around handily with numbers on them. I need to get organized :-)
Recognize this picture from Saturday? Okay, well, you can see our new apartment there...see the arrow? I am there. I will show you the inside when we get settled a bit. So, those of you who were rooting for me to get my own room...yay team! Girlie Girl's arguments were sound and I was able to move forward. But I will be so glad when the move is OVER. What do you remember most about a move that you made? Good or bad, I'd love the story. And please...send me energetic thoughts!!!

Congratulations on the relocation. The new digs will be totally worth the relocation. I hope all goes smoothly.
Yay! For the new to you room! I just got mine too. I am really liking the privacy, which I never really minded not having... but now that I do I like it a lot.
How will you decorate your space? Mine is strictly based on function so far. I love to see other's decorations. StbX always did our decor. This is an adventure that I think I will like.
I hope you have fun doing it!
Oh good. I bet it will be really worth it...At least after the horrible move is all done.
More room equals a happier family, I'm relieved for you and the kids will have more space! Plus, you don't have to worry about traveling far! And a very nice view of the pool!
AlienCG: I am starting to see that it will really be worth it. I just want the moving part to be finished :-)
Ananda: I am not much of a decorator either. I like to be comfortable and I like seeing things around me that I people I love have given me. Aside from that, function :-)
Enjoy your new space!!!
Churlita: Thanks. It will be worth it and I keep telling myself the hard part will be over before I know it.
Tara: It is a big advantage just to be able to walk a few loads over when the mood strikes :-) By next Monday, I am hoping to be fully settled, with everyone stretched out in their greater spaces...
I'm glad you made the decision. The effort now will be paid back many times with rewards I am sure.
I have had soooo many moves! Two sets illustrate my life. I drove across the country to graduate school with my entire life in a station wagon. And then when I moved out of my ex's house, I had to have a huge huge truck. And thankfully a lot of friends to help me.
I think you are going to be very happy with your move :)
I remember the biggest move my family made when I was young, moving from Indianapolis to Kobe, Japan. It was devastating for me because I had so many wonderful friends in Indy. But now, I look back on it and I really appreciate the experiences I had in Japan, although I wasn't ever very happy there.
Pamela: Thank you for the encouragement.
Those two ways of moving do say a lot. It is important to have have a life of substance, but there is something very freeing about the fewest possible possessions.
Sebastien: Thank you, I am seeing that it will work out.
Wow, yes, moving to a complete other country had to have been life changing. I can't even imagine what that must have been like. And here I am whining about moving across the courtyard :-)
