Hey, Mrs. Wilson!

These last couple days have been crazy, to say the least. Moving in, moving out, a marriage simulcast conference, a birthday, a girls night out, and two days of intense cleaning. The weekend was physically, mentally, and extremely emotionally draining for me. Let’s just say I’m excited to get away and see Chelsey and Teresa and their families.

We are 100% moved out of the old house. Today was the last day that we had possession. It’s always kind of a challenge when you’re going into a place literally 1/10th of the size of your old one. From 19 doors to 2. From 4 bathrooms to 1. From 4 bedrooms to 1 (ish). From 3000 square feet to 300.

I had amazing help today, and I could not have done it without some amazing people. Ann and Kevin babysat for the afternoon while I did a storage run and a Salvation Army run with Todd’s truck, and Marg and Brian helped me clean all the live long day and also did a couple loads with their truck.

We finally mopped the last bit of floor at 9:30 tonight and I’m happy to report that the people moving in tomorrow will be moving into a sparkling clean immaculate house. A huge burden has been lifted having that place done. The funnest part of the evening was driving the Corvette to it’s new home. Yup, highlight of my day right there. I had a big goofy grin plastered to my face the whole 10 minute drive. It was my first time driving it, unless you count moving it daily on to the lawn it hopes that it would sell, which it didn’t.

In new house news, one great thing three great things about living here are the three people who live upstairs. Ann, her daughter Michaela, and her nephew Kevin. Michaela is a couple years younger than Kaylie and the two of them get along great. Ann and Kevin just happen to have the same taste in TV as I do. They are also great fun to hang out with and I’m sure we’ll spend a lot of time together over the next couple months.

Also, my little Liliana absolutely adores them. She cries when we leave them and hold her arms out for them when we see them.

I have taken a couple “before” pictures of the suite in disarray. Alas, you will have to wait until I find the driver disc for my camera to see any sort of recent picture. (Also, that will give me time to clean and organize for the “after” pictures.) Apparently I lost the disc sometime between Christmas (when I got the camera) and now. I installed it on my old computer at Christmas, and since we got the new computer have been uploading pictures onto that, uploading them to Flickr, then downloading them to my new computer, editing them, and uploading them back to Flickr and/or my blog. A process? Yes. That’s what happens when you lose things.

Why can I not do that still? We had hooked the old lap top up to a ginormous monitor and it will not fit in our suite. No way no how. Unless we feel like having any no space to walk. Operation: Find Camera Disc. Soon.

That is all I will leave you with for today. I know that reading blogs are way more fun with pictures, so I won’t bore you any longer and I’ll go hunt for the disc.

It should have a pager like my phone.

*Edit: I found it!  In the lap top case.  Where I already looked three times before.  Idiot.*
