When the  Moving is done....

1/7/2016

I lived in my last apartment for 15 years. It was while I was packing and moving that I remembered WHY I lived there for 15 years. It's because I loathe moving.

Actually - it's the packing and moving I hate. The unpacking and decorating is the fun part!  There is such an insanity that goes with Moving - the planing, the cost, the trying to get help, the advice!  The whole darn thing is just really stressful.
​
​Of course being a complete weirdo, I decided to move in December - because there is nothing easier then moving between Thanksgiving and Christmas (insert sarcasm here.....). 

Anyway - with the treasured help from some family and friends and UHaul, we managed it and still kept most of our sanity!  Even our kitties did ok, although they really didn't appreciate their first car ride and 15 years...... 

We are super thrilled with our new place!  It is a townhouse created in a retired catholic church built in the 1850's!  In the interior ceiling and walls that have remained untouched, there is pressed tin ceiling and wall coverings!  And best of all - I have a stained glass window in my downstairs bathroom!
Every day I say to Michael - 'how did we fit all this stuff in our old tiny place!' and he just shakes his head. We really were more then terribly cramped in the old place but it was the shelter in  our storm for many years and I am not complaining. It's just that this place feels like a whole new beginning and I am quite peaceful and content here - despite the stress of moving!

Thanks again to all our wonderful helpers!  We could not have done it without you!!
