Moving Day!

in Our New Home on

Sharing is caring!

Well it’s been a little quiet around here recently. We’ve been crazy busy packing & moving into my brother’s house, plus we closed on the “old house” this past Friday. Is it weird that we’re calling it the old house already? Yeah, I thought so too.

So without a doubt this has been the most hectic time of our lives. We sold the house in 1 day, closed 30 days after that. Urgh, I’m so tired, y’all. I just want to curl up in my bed and sleep for a week straight. Or drink an entire bottle of wine while watching trashy reality TV. Either one would do at this point.

And during these past 30 days of packing up our entire home, we also switched Ellie to her new school. Yep, it’s been a whirlwind of emotions and sleepless nights. But I’m happy to say she’s loving it so far and making friends fast!

When the house was finally emptied out this past week. I snapped a couple photos with my iPhone as I mopped the floors on my final way out…

Right now this is totally my happy place.

Well since I had nothing on my schedule yesterday with the moving all behind us, I decided to use my lazy Sunday starting on my brother and sister-in-law’s laundry room makeover. Yep, I’m basically the best sister ever. I have a feeling I’ll be doing a lot of family design jobs in these next 90 days…

    Oh my goodness, what a crazy month it has been for you! Your “old” house was so beautiful, but your new one will be too! I’m so excited that you get to be closer to your family. I hadn’t even thought about Ellie switching schools during the school year! I’m glad that went well. I’m sure she’ll love it.
    Good luck with the building process…again! LOL!

    Erin,

    I am amazed at how fast this is all happening.

    Most people accumulate so much “stuff”, even in a short period of time. Did you have to dump/donate a lot of “stuff”?

    I am so looking forward to your new home. And Ellie, enjoy your new school.

      So very fast! We were lucky that we didn’t accumulate too much “stuff” and that we were in a neighborhood that was still under construction. Lots of dumpsters nearby for the things we couldn’t donate!

      We also had a small garage sale, but most things I donated to other family members that needed furniture or knick knacks.
