to say the least may through june has been a little "busy."
here's a quick run down:
prepped the condo for our renters.
hubby left for mexico.
i left shortly after to fly out to cali with the kiddos for a wedding.
met up with hubby in san diego.
wedding.
flew back.
packed/prepped condo some more.
(fyi navajo white from benjamin moore is not the same navajo white from 4 years ago. this was not pleasing to hubby as he had to paint entire walls, mind you we have a vaulted ceiling, rather than just a few small coverups.) paint fail.
failed inspection.
finished bathroom. (i probably should have taken pics, hubby did a fantastic job...again.)
passed inspection. (two chimney cracks, a permit-less water heater, and $1000 later.)
unload into new house.
packing up fil and sil's belongings....still much to be done here.
it will be august before i actually unload our stuff. sigh.
overwhelmed doesn't begin to describe how i feel. but, i can say a year, two years, 10 years from now it will be totally worth the amount of energy we need to put into our new home. it is a great neighborhood. the next door neighbor's kids absolutely love natalie. and we love them just as much.
plus, we have a fire pit. score.
as we are now officially living in the pine barrens there are a few things that you must do to become an official "piney:"
1) you must let the kids strip down to their diaper/undies and play in the nearest mud puddle. check.
2) see 1.
i'm pretty sure we need a pick-up truck to fit in around here, but the routan and gti will have to do for now.
if my phone wasn't dead i would have totally added pics. believe me, i know, i hate picture less blog posts, too.
please accept my apology.
pictures coming soon.
good night.
jill
