I am thankful:
1.
That we have a house all of our very own
finally!
2.
Almost completely done with the move and the
cleaning of the old apartment.
3.
Gorgeous almost full moon I get to see from my
bedroom window as it rises.
4.
Awesome gift of a book from one of my more
“unique” students.
5.
The semester is winding down. I’m in the homestretch now. Just gotta finish this out, and then I’m
taking the summer off (from school; I still have to work).
6.
My super perfectionist husband with a crazy work
ethic. He’s done 90% of the cleaning and
packing for this move.
7.
Looking at rose bushes that I want to plant in
front of the house. We have a huge dirt
area that has become quite the mud pit with our recent rains and I figure a
rose bush or two (or three) would be a quick and easy way to cover that area up
and spruce up the front of the house as well.
8.
My pen pals, journal buddies, friends, and
awesome family. Totally make this crazy
life more awesome.
9.
That David finally agreed to hire a maid company
to take care of the kitchen and the laundry area – even if he ended up cleaning
quite a bit of the kitchen anyways!
::laughs::
10.
Alternating quiet rain and beautiful sunny
days. It’s kept the temperatures
moderate and lovely. And we are quite lucky
that the downpours completely missed our big move day.
11.
The truly amazing guys from Little Guys
Movers. They were so friggin’ awesome
and quick and efficient. We will
definitely use them for any and all moving from here on out (though, hopefully,
we won’t need their services for a long, LONG time!).
Whew! Made it! Moving is downright EXHAUSTING. But luckily we have the bulk of it done. The maid service is coming tomorrow and then
we do our final walk through with the apartment people at 3 pm tomorrow. And then we are DONE with RBC
apartments. Hopefully forever. I will admit, I am a bit sad about leaving
RBC. I’ve been here close to 10 years
now and love the area. I have a ton of
fond memories of this place. This is
where I met David. And really, it’s only
the last 4 or so years that made it unbearable – ever since GrayStar took over
the property from Sherman Properties. So
I will miss what it used to be, but am excited about having our own home now. So much to do, but I’m trying to enjoy the
ride instead of stressing out about it.
Though, I’m not sure how successful I am being in that regard! ::laughs::
I am utterly exhausted and worn out. Even my students could tell today that I just
had zero energy. I swear I could have
laid down at noon and slept until 10 am the next day. ::laughs::
Thank goodness we have tomorrow off of school. I need some serious down time so I can try to
get my bedroom into some sort of order.
Right now, it looks like a complete and utter disaster zone. And the only reason it looks as good as it
does right now is because I have a MASSIVE closet (seriously, it’s the same
size as some of the non-master bedrooms in some of the houses we looked at), so
I’m able to hide a LOT of crap in there, out of the way. ::laughs::
I did a lot of decluttering, but feel like a lot more needs
to be done still. And we still need to
go purchase a washer and dryer (been using the one at the apartment, while we
still have access to it) and a microwave.
Liz and Julie are coming by this weekend to take all our boxes. They just sold their house and will be moving
shortly, so are thrilled to take our crap-ton of boxes off our hands.
David goes back to work on Tuesday. He’s been off of work for the past week to do
the bulk of the moving stuff. I took
Monday and Tuesday off, but had to work Wednesday and Thursday. I really am lucky to have him and that he was
willing to shoulder the vast majority of the whole thing so I could focus on
school.
