What Good Will It Do?

Sorry everyone, but with all of the hard work, late nights and new house excitement, I have been out of commission for the past couple of days. Sorry to all of those who have been waiting with breath baited for the exciting conclusion to our move.

I think Jenny would agree, but moving was not only an effect way to get rid of a lot of our unwanted items, but also an effective way to clear our heads.

Jenny and I worked pretty hard last Friday to get everything together for our big move on Saturday. In the end, we made four trips, with both of cars full of garbage, to our secret dumpsters, two trips to Value Village (the last one ill fated), and one well needed sugar break.

We had everything beyond ready to go by the time everyone came to help us move. And the move itself only took us two hours. A big thanks to all of those who came out to help us, we really appreciated it!

We returned to our empty house early Saturday evening, spent a few hours cleaning up, said goodbye to our pink house and closed the door on that chapter of our life.

The time we spent at our old house really was wonderful. We have had a lot of experiences there, lived with a variety of people, started and ended a few friendships, and even invented Weekday Eve there. But Jenny and I excited to have new fun and new memories of our new place.

So far, a week into our new abode, Jenny and I are loving life at the new place. We still are excited by the fact that we are one of the only apartments who’s terrace really is in the middle of an evergreen, can’t hear one peep from any of our neighbors, up/down or either side. We have had nights with visitors, and nights with our free cable (please forget to cancel it!) and count the hours left of work until we can once again return to our little apartment. I am hoping our enthusiasm for our small residence doesn’t fade.

Moving on. For RS book club for the summer, they are reading Gone With The Wind, and I have decided to take up the challenge. It is a huge book! A little over 1500 pages. Our assignment this week was the read the first four chapters. It was a little less than 120 pages, and covered a time span of a little more than an hour. (It really is a long-winded book.) I am hoping I enjoy the book more than the movie, (See review here.) and can keep up with the weekly reading.

Thanks to all of those who actually care.

Looking forward all of the carefree birthday plans.

Stop by and see the house if you have time.

As Always,
