I’m NEVER moving again!!!!
I woke up this morning quite excited to go back to work because somehow, over the course of the week, an eight hour work day seems like a rest!!! That’s how nuts our move has been!!
The past five days has been among the most physically and emotionally exhausting days of my life (or at the very least, in recent memory). On numerous occasions, I found myself breaking down into tears from pure discouragement and fatigue. At long last though, we did wake up in our new paradise this morning and in the end, it all seems worth it.
For those of you who know me well, you know that the state of my immediate surroundings tend to reflect my mental and emotional state at the time. With that being said, I have spent the past five days in a complete state of chaos and disconnect with the world. We’ve had frozen pipes, a broken cable box, lost a piece of our bed frame, bought a new piece for the bed frame only to find the missing again once we walked in the door!! We dented the front of our house, painted two rooms, had a frustrating encounter with U-Haul, had dinner at IKEA twice and endured five sixteen hour days in a row. In case I didn’t mention this before…I’m NEVER moving again!!!
As for the bright side of the week…My awesome colleague taped Lost for us, I got a bunch of Valentine’s Day chocolate at 50% off, an adorable message from Christina at the airport (on her way to Belize…lucky girl!) and a gorgeous new house that I am simply in love with.
It’s still a little bit weird to think of that we will no longer live on Powell Avenue. So much happened to us there; we were freed from the chains of roommate drama there (!!!), we got engaged in that apartment, we were married while we lived there and we really grew a lot within its walls. It may have been small but, it provided a lot of room to grow!
It’s amazing the new hopes and dreams that come with our new home. I can’t help but wonder what kind of stories our new walls will have to tell. Will my book be finished in that house?? Will children of our own sleep in that house?? Will we hear the pitter patter of furry little paws in that house?? Who knows!
But what I do know for sure is that, right now…I feel like I could sleep for about a week thanks to that house!! If only I could find my way through the boxes to my bed!!!

Congrats!! I hope you enjoy your new home.
I have a question about your blog..how do you get your photo album facebook links to work without putting in a username and password. I am setting up my blog and I used add a link list and copied/pasted the facebook link but it asks for a u.n. and password when you click on the link from the blog frontpage. Help please.
