Only 1 more week!!!

Can we get through this next week without getting too excited? Probably not. One week from today we'll be moving out, handing over the keys to our old home and signing the papers on our new home! We can't wait!!

I haven't been able to sleep much these days, partly because our mattresses are on the floor due to us taking our bed apart, and partly because my mind keeps racing...thinking of what needs to happen before we move. It's not easy moving...I honestly don't know how people do this often. I know some families who have moved 10 or 11 times. No thank you, not me!! I want to move once more after this...out to Colorado, then I'm done moving!! If my family wants to move again after that, they can move without me! ha ha (OK, maybe not, but they can do all the packing!)

I'm more worried about how Cody will adjust to his new surroundings. He will be at the Doggie Spa for a few days (nah, he's not pampered), but when he gets home, it'll be at the new house, not the one he knows. He's never been there, so it will be quite the surprise. He must know SOMETHING is going on, our house never looked so awful...boxes all over, furniture taken apart, window coverings down, things off the walls. He probably just thinks we don't know how to decorate. Silly dog!



We're headed out shopping again today. We purchased our curtains the other day. I'm not saying what we got, I'll just post photos once we move and they're up. If you don't like them, I don't want to know...we spent WAY too much money on them and my husband won't be pleased. ha ha They are pretty though and I think they'll match the furniture beautifully. We'll see.

It's amazing all the little 'stuff' you need when buying a new home though. Curtains, curtain rods, shades, all new shelf paper, garbage cans (inside and out since ours aren't worth moving), light bulbs, shower curtains, groceries (since we can't really take most of the cold stuff with us), cleaning supplies etc. I'm not complaining though, I LOVE to shop. =) It's just amazing how much we need to get to make our house a home. Having to leave certain things behind that we know we'll need to buy again isn't easy to do....curtain rods, certain light fixtures, bathroom accessories etc. Things that are attached to the home that we can't take. The new owners will probably not even use what's here, but we still can't take 'em. Go figure.

Well, I need to go make my list...we're heading out soon! Have a great day.
