After a longer trip home, we made it. It took us 13 1/2 hours to get home instead of the 12 it took to get there. We hit bad traffic on 95 North and then hit a few storms and patches of rain. We finally rolled in around 4 am and hit the bed. We always unload/unpack no matter what time we get home, but not this time. We brought in the cooler and that was it. We were T-I-R-E-D!!!!! The kids woke up about 2 hours earlier than us and kept themselves relatively entertained and quiet. I had to laugh when we finally got up and looked over the railing- it was a disaster area. It was worth cleaning up though to get those extra 2 hours of sleep.
We went to check in on the progress of our new house. Things are coming together. I love all the paint colors, the cabinets, the countertops and the kitchen flooring. The only problem was that they mixed up the flooring in Sadie's and the boys' bathrooms. I guess since that is their mistake, they'll fix it. They had stained the door (which I love the color of!) and finished in the screened-in porch. The landscaping looks nice too.
Looks like they are ready to lay the tile in our bathroom and the entryway tomorrow, and some of the appliances were in the garage ready to be installed. That only leaves carpet, lighting and closets! The end is in sight!
Too bad I haven't packed a single thing to move and I don't plan to start anytime soon! I keep postponing the inevitable. Oh well- no rush since we STILL haven't sold this house!!!!!!
I will be posting some things on craigslist to sell this week- if you are in need of a kitchen table (white legs with a maple top- 4 matching chairs), a couch (plaid), a loveseat (celery green) or a chair w/ottoman (all 3 pieces match), let me know. We will also have several tv's (the old ones- not new HD/flatscreen ones) for sale. And the list grows as I sit here- a sofa table (dark wood with wrought iron legs) and a bookshelf with enclosed cabinet (dark wood). Can't think of anything else right now- but probably will soon. Off to take some pictures of these things to post. Adios!

Do you offer free shipping on the things you are selling?
Dang girl, are you getting all new stuff for the new house? I seriously lucked out last time I hit up your garage sale... you don't happen to have any dressers, eh? :)
Glad you're home safe and sound, and surely tan and relaxed!
Glad you got some sleep, too! You guys had a great vacation. Your house sounds like it's just moving along. How cool! I've never done Craigslist before but everyone talks about it. I'll send my girlfriend to your list they are newly married and our trying to finish their basement. do you have a certain listing name or something? Welcome back. I'm here til the 5th if you need someone to take Sadie for awhile for you to pack. And then I'm back on the 12th & the offer stands there, too. Let me know. TTFN
Glad you made it home safe and sound! I can't wait to see your house. If you need any help with anything during your move let me know!
I was just wondering if you had started to move or pack stuff - UGH - that part sucks! At least you won't be in too much of a hurry. It is amazing as you start packing though how much stuff there really is to pack! Glad you had a decent trip back!
