So we moved a few things into the new house this past weekend with the help of out of town guests – thank you Amy, thank you Linda (and thank you Nate, who isn’t from out of town, for letting us use your truck). I quickly realized, which I was afraid was going to happen, that I had pictured the house completely differently in my head. Given that I had only seen the place that one time and the mind set I was in at the time.

When I first saw the place, I had immediately fallen in love with it. How could I not? A stereotypical Victorian house – tall ceilings, bay windows, claw foot tub, hard wood floors and not to mention 3-bedrooms, a yard, a kitchen with barn type hardwood floors, a wedgewood stove and plenty of cabinet space. The house had me at the front stoop.

So when we moved some stuff in, I was surprised to see how much my love it changed the shape of it – it was much much large in my head – but it is, in reality, still pretty large just not THAT large and how did I not notice there was a dishwasher and a built in cabinet with marble countertops? How did I seriously miss THAT!? A DISHWASHER?! That really changes some things!

Anyway, it took forever to load the truck and van with all the small boxes we had in our living room plus some furniture (a coffee table, and two arm chairs) but it seemed only minutes when they (hehe, it was my job to keep the kid occupied so I didn’t have to lift a thing!) unloaded everything.

My best friend Amy was visiting from Denver and got to see our place – she loved it by the way. She kept urging me to take photos, which I did, except they are on her camera so I have to wait until I receive those to post them up for your viewing pleasure 

I’m excited for this move and I feel that it is quite beneficial for our family. However, we are still slow to pack..the bedrooms are still untouched and the effing storage space we have is packed full of, well, stuff that’s been out of sight out of mind since we moved in 2 years ago. ARGH!
