Remember me telling you that we were moving...well, it happened. We officially moved into our new place this past Monday.
This whole move has been quite an adventure. It happened very quickly, and truthfully, the last time that I wrote about moving, we had no idea where we would be living! We knew we needed to rent for a while, but didn't have a place in mind. David actually found our house on a Craigslist Ad. We looked at it on Friday and moved in 10 days later!! Yep, that's the way we roll!!
Although it was quick, I really think that David picked a good one. This little house is literally a cabin in the woods...right beside a river! I am already envisioning fun cookouts at our place and can't wait for fall when all the leaves start changing and we get to see the mountains in their full splendor!
I'm so glad to be in the house and somewhat settled. I know it will take a little time to get everything in its new place, but it is coming together. I am so ready to not see boxes in the house! I feel like our home has been cluttered with boxes for a couple of months now. If you know me, you know I don't like to live like that. It stresses me out - more than moving!!
I have to give another shout out to Pinterest for leading me to a blog post (from Find Joy in the Journey) that was a life saver for moving! This post had everything you need to print in order to make a notebook that will help you keep track of your stuff. It really took the work out of unpacking. I was able to label each box and list its contents in my notebook. When it was time to put away everything, I knew exactly which box to look for thanks to my handy-dandy system! I am SO glad that I took the time to do it!
I am pretty much done with the kitchen and living room. Our bedroom is set up, but we are still living out of a few suitcases. That and the sunroom are next on my radar. After that, we will work on the guest room/office. David has already started in the yard - cutting the grass, trimming bushes and all that good stuff that needed to be taken care of.
I'll post more pics when I get things more settled.
