One Week From Friday

I've been counting down the days for a long time.  It is finally almost here.  Just one week from Friday we will get the keys to our new home.  Each time we've gone over there to drop off something for the garage, it has been hard to imagine that we'd be living there soon.  The house seems so lonely and dark when we arrive.  It is bursting with potential, though. 

Things are coming together.  I have been given a sectional sofa and some tables.  I will get to retire my old couch, broken leg and all.  It's been held up by a cinder-block for the last two years.  I found a great dresser at Good Will yesterday.  It is solid and was very inexpensive.  Those were my two criteria! 

I have been making slow, but steady progress packing.  Today I emptied out a small dresser of CD's and DVD's.  I wish I could have purged more of them.  I don't know why I hold on to them.  Maybe for the same reason I have vynl records and old sewing machines I don't know how to use. 

The next step is to work on the kitchen and then the kids rooms. Of course their rooms are a mess as usual.  We've decided to give up a bay in the garage to store some of their things so that their rooms won't be so cluttered. 

The rest of the week will go quickly with the busyness of life on top of moving.  I hope you have a great one!
