Moving Day!

Quick update - we are moving today! Sort of. The movers are coming at 2pm to load all of our boxes and furniture up - we are up to 132 boxes-can you believe it? Who knew we had that much stuff crammed into our little home? Then, tonight we stay at the romantic LaSalle - me, Vic and Jill! (sorry Jill - haha). Then, tomorrow we spend the day closing at 9am on the condo and 1pm on the house and then the movers unload at 3pm. My daddy and Vic's parents are also coming into town for the big unveiling of our new home! I am a little stressed - lots to remember and lots to organize, but I think we are in good shape. I have a color coded labeling system, inventory of each box, and a spreadsheet of to-do's - I love organizing!

Say a prayer if you read this that all goes smoothly with closings, and moving, and appliance hookups, and everything else. We are so excited to move into our first house and Vic is already excited to start working on the yard (while I graciously provide him cold beer because I have never done much with yards - I have a lot to learn!).

I will say that we had our little moment last night of realizing it was our last night in the condo and it is starting to hit us. I know, I know - some people move all the time and it is silly to get too sentimental over a house, but we have such wonderful memories there before and while we have been married. So many friends have blessed us with their presence; Vic proposed to me in that kitchen; we've had dinner parties and cookouts and birthday celebrations there; we've had our own Friend Thanksgivings there; happiness and sadness have occurred; so much has happened and we have cherished and loved and plan to remember every possible moment. And, we truly look forward to everything that will happen in our lives as we live in our new home.

Okay, okay, I'm done for now. No tears! (at least not yet) I will update again soon!
