We’re moving.
Just a few blocks from where we are currently living.
The house isn’t getting bigger but we are losing the den/office area we currently have and gaining a 4th bedroom.
Oh, and no more E.A.R.L. (for you newbies, E.A.R.L. is short for Evil Anal Retentive Landlord).
Not only are we finally going to be free of E.A.R.L. but we will also have the freedom to do as we please.
We get to paint, decorate, have a dog, a sandbox, a garden and really….anything else we want to do.
We aren’t moving until mid-August but we have been busy preparing for the BIG move for the last 2 weeks.
Winter clothes are packed along with a majority of our other clothing to help reduce the laundry that needs to be done until we move and to ensure I am not packing boxes and boxes of clothes at the last minute.
All of our pictures and knick-knacks are packed away.
The basement is organized and ready to go.
We have been clearing out the clutter and sending things off to Goodwill.
Everyone in the family is excited to move.
Our new house is lovely!
It is just perfect for our family of 6!
4 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms and a very inviting living space that is open to the kitchen. There is also a full basement that gives us plenty of options and that is where our new office will be located and hopefully a 5th bedroom at some point as well. We are also on a huge lot so our new backyard offers a ton of space for some fun and it includes 2 apple trees and a garden I can’t wait to get my hands on.
We are also very excited to have a HUGE 2.5 stall extra deep garage that will finally give us the space to store all of the kids toys, the van and other items we currently have crammed in there. The garage also have a built in work bench and I will finally have somewhere to keep my tools and I can get a toolbox!!! (Yes, I WANT A TOOLBOX OF MY OWN!!!)
Did I mention that the house is also right across the street from a park??
It also happens to be right in the area I grew up in as a kid.
Across the street in one direction is the townhouse my parents and sister lived in while my mom was pregnant with me.
Down the rode in the cul-de-sac is the duplex I lived in with my parents and sister until I was 4 and my parents bought their first home.
Directly across the street and out our new front window in the townhouse I lived in with Zack and Libby when I met the Alex.
This is MY neighborhood!
We are all looking forward to the move and cannot wait to be in our new home!
