Getting Ready to Move

I truly hate packing! Maybe because it reminds me of what a pack-rat I am. I cannot believe how boxes we have.  The good thing is that we will be ready to move most of our stuff by Friday (tomorrow!) and we will still have a couple weeks to get everything out of the old house and do all the necessary cleaning to try and get our deposit back.  I am glad to be done with renting, yet terrified at being a home owner again.

I am looking forward to decorating the new house. We have a lot more room than we have ever had before. In this house, if we do not have a place for something, then we will need to get rid of that thing. No more saving things for "some day." That "some day" has finally arrived.

The most difficult room to decorate will be the master bedroom. The room is huge with a very large fireplace on one wall, a big window on one wall, a bathroom door and opening to the closet on another and a large mural on the fourth. None of the four walls will accommodate a TV. I think that we can live without a TV in the bedroom, but Hubby does not feel the same. And to be honest, I do like snuggling and watching a movie and falling asleep to John Stewart.  We are going to have to get creative.
