We moved this month. Packed up the whole kit and caboodle and moved to another town entirely, not just across town. We moved 150 miles north, but at least we get to stay in the same state. It wasn't exactly our choice, work said to keep your jobs, you move. So we moved. I think I would have been far more on board with the whole thing if we had made the decision on our own, but we were given no other real option. Neither of us wanted to move to Houston or Oklahoma, so here we are.
Our new house is much larger than our old one was. Our stuff seems to have expanded kind of like those little tablets you add to water. I miss our little house. We lived there for almost 21 years. It was home. This larger house is going to take some getting used to.
I still have boxes and bins in the garage that need to be unpacked, but not as many as there were, I am whittling away at the stack.We still have pictures to hang to make the house more our own. And then there are the bigger changes we will be making to improve the house. A new master bath, an updated kitchen, change the trim in most of the house. Finish up the creation of Bruiser's bedroom.
We have a huge backyard. Big enough to run our four wheelers around in. The back yard has had no real attention for going on 10 years. Parts of it are quite over grown. We are contemplating having some one come and trim things up (or beat back the bushes) so we have a place to start. We have never had a yard like this. Our old yard was postage stamp sized and so easy to take care of. This one takes a bit more work.
So that was our June. Completely taken over by the Great Move of 2018.
Wow! That is a whole lot of change in just one month! What an adventure. I'm sure it will take some time to get used to a new place, but way to make the most of it!
