Recap:
We sold our home last autumn and have rented an apartment while continuing our search for our dream home. We ‘ve been living with the bulk of our possessions packed away in storage, I always needed another item that was hidden in the back. Meanwhile, we spent many, many hours with our patient realtor.
Update:
I’ve been reviewing my moving tips about packing boxes and suitcases, because it has come to that time where we are officially homeowners again! I wanted to wait until we closed to post anything, afraid that something would fall through last-minute.
Our house will need a lot touch ups, updating & landscaping, but it has a great layout and flow about it. Some of my favorites? The two-story entry, the master bath, and oh, did I mention the breath-taking view?
At Last
Over the next month, my posting may become sparse again. I’m not sure how long we’ll be without internet, but I’m hoping to avoid a hiatus by filling my queue each time I’m near a computer. We have our apartment until the end of the month when everything will need to be moved into our new home. We’d like to be able to clean and paint everything before we move the boxes and furniture. We’re hoping on being able to move everything in one trip; with a large moving truck, our car, SUV & trailer filled to the brim.
Did I mention that our next month is filled with birthdays, showers and weddings??? Hopefully we’ll get a lot done this summer, before school starts again in August.
At last!
What joys do you have this (almost) summer day?

I love the landscaping up front, and it looks like pretty hearty plants too, bet they won’t require much maintenance. Oh, I think I just became my dad. Anyway, such great news. Congrats again.
They are nice, but the two arbs are right in front of the windows, blocking the fantastic view… they must go. The burning bushes need some pruning. The rest of the landscaping is pretty desperate. More on that later…
It is our youngest sons, 29th birthday today. He will actually be around for awhile. Our three little granddaughters, 3 yrs & 18 months old twins girls, will be here for BIRTHDAY PARTY. For them .. it is anytime you make a cake..(lol) Family..so precious to me. Our youngest grandson left on the plane from MT to AK to spend some quality time with his other grandparents. :o)
Sounds like you have a lot of great things going on!
Congrats on your new nest!! I hope you have a load of fun decorating it! (that’s always my favorite part!) and I hope you get it all done before your upcoming parties and celebrations!
Thanks! Me too!
Congrats
Thanks Samuel
Congratulations on the new house! I know exactly how you are feeling right now. We just moved into our new home last week and we did exactly what you are planning to do. We painted and cleaned it all first and even tore up some carpets then we moved in. I’m still surrounded boxes but loving every minute of the unpacking. Good luck with the move! I know you will be excited.
Thank you! Congrats & good luck to you too!!! We were originally going to tear out the carpets and put in hardwoods… now we’ll have to wait. I steam cleaned them all though…
Beautiful new home. My new joy is summer vacation!
Thank you! Enjoy!
