![]() ![]() And our new house is really nice (with no green shag carpeting or avocado green ovens) with plenty of trees and and a big yard for the boys to run around and play.Īnd fortunately my parents live 20 minutes away on 30 acres of woods with creeks and plenty of climbing trees, trails, and assorted snakes and bugs. We are also still close to friends and family, so that made the move easier. I need her to come visit and help me design this place!Įven though I am having to get adjusted in being in a neighborhood in town after living on acreage for almost seven years, we are just a few minutes from an actual Main Street of the small town I grew up in with all of its beautiful parks, amazing small family-owned restaurants, and free festivals. She has a unique talent of making any place look like a cozy home almost immediately, while I can live in the same place for seven years and still have blank walls. She also has two kids and is a wonder woman. And she had plenty of toilet paper stocked in each bathroom (she must be a witch!). My sister in Austin (the one who said she likes to move so she can clean out junk) moved recently and within a week her house looked like a home with pictures on the wall, rugs in their appropriate places, and books sorted and placed on bookshelves. These stories comfort me and make me feel less guilty about not having pictures on the walls yet and still having problems finding the extra toilet paper. I hear stories from so many of my friends and family members about their moves and how it would take years for them to get everything where they wanted it. I just tell myself that one day I will have more free time because the boys will be bigger or I will have empty nest syndrome and have plenty of time to go through all of my old junk. And now that I have kids the amount of stuff is getting bigger and bigger. And of course once it is boxed up and in the closet in the new place I forget about it and it just gets moved once again. ![]() Every time I move I plan on going through stuff before I box it up, but I get impatient and decide that I will just move it all and go through it later. We are still trying to get the last bits of our stuff moved from the old house to the new (why in the world did I not just pack everything up for the movers to move?), but the new house is finally starting to feel like home. ![]()
