I HATE MOVING!!!!!


What was I thinking!!! I have spent the last 2 months of summer vaction either cleaning to show the house or now packing.
Plus there is football for both boys, piano, swimming, school shopping, mutal for 2 kids, pigs for the fair, cleaning the property for the next group to come in and anything else that pops up.
After living in a house for 13 plus years I have a lot of CRAP!
I thought I dejunked quiet often but I was wrong. This is a record for anyone in my family, we have never stayed in one house longer than 4-5 years at a time. So this move will be the last I make. My kids have never moved and they just don't understand what it takes to get it done. Every day from morning to night I am packing. But after tomarrow, it will be done. Then the fun of unpacking and organizing just begins. Thank heaven the kids will be in school and I will have all day to do it. It will all be worth it in the end.

We Sold Our House!!!

I can't believe it finally sold! I was just about to move my kids out so the house would stay clean. What a hassel!! But it sold and I am so thrilled. The crazy thing is how it sold. We ended up buying Cahoons house, Cahoons are buying Nelsons and Nelsons are buying OURS!! is that crazy or what? Moving day is next Friday and I don't even know how it is going to work. The Elders Quarm from both wards are on standby and ready to just keep moving until all is done. I hope it goes smoothly.

I have mixed feelings about moving. I love my house I live in now, but we need more room, I am the only one in my family that has lived in a house longer than a few years. Its been 13 1/2 years I have been in this house. My kids have never moved before and they don't quite know what to think about it. I moved so many times before I was married I swore I wouldn't do that to my kids. So this is it the last move for us.

The new house is gorgeous, big and plenty of room. It needs a little updating but I love doing that so not a problem there. Were moving to a quieter neighborhood as far as traffic goes, but I am going to miss my neighbors here greatly if only they would all move with me. I have great neighbors and very dear friends I will be sad to move away from. Hopefully I will make great neighbors in the new area. One neighbor will be my best friend Lori, their backyard and mine are connected.

I have been packing for the last week and my house is pure chaos. It went from spotless to tornado overnight. Oh well what can you do?
