Moving day is upon us...

A big day is upon us...yay! We are moving into our new home and boy are we ready!! It will be a busy week, that's for sure.

We had a successful garage sale but we didn't get rid of all the clothes I was hoping for. Looks like I will just be dropping them off at the Goodwill.

I will be offline for two weeks...eek! When you move out to the country or to just any small town it takes on average ten days for your Internet to be hooked up. Well okay, that is been my experience. So, I am choosing to look at that as a blessing.

No Internet will mean that I won't get tempted to surf the net, which wastes alot of time. I should be able to get my home in order and begin the new school year homeschooling my Middles and Littles. I expect lots will have been accomplished in the next two weeks...I am looking forward to it!

See you in two weeks...

Preparing for a yard sale.

Folks, I am up to my eyeballs in 'stuff' for our yard sale! Baby stuff, toys, kitchen items that are never used, out grown clothes...up to my eyeballs, I say!

Just de-cluttering before we move. Making a little money from selling it all would be good too! Well, back to work I go...later.

Preparing to move...the excitement is building!

In just 6 short days we will be moving into our new home. I am SO excited! It has been 2 years since we've owned our own home. And then we only lived in our old home for 1.5 years out of the 3 we owned it. That is because my husband was in the Air Force at the time. We moved to Florida 14 months after we bought the home. After we sold the home we decide to just rent.

I love to decorate my homes so the excitement of getting to do 'whatever' I want is building. I have been picking out paint and window treatments. Surfing the Web for wood flooring. Basically, looking at everything you can think of. I can hardly wait to get started! I am a seasonal decorator, which means I change my decor with the season's. My favorite season happens to be fall so imagine my glee at getting to break-out all my fall decor for our new home!! WooHoo!!

We don't have a lot of packing to do for this move. We have mostly been living out of boxes the last 7 months because we knew this rental was temporary. But boy will we have a lot of unpacking to do! Which will mean a lot of donating. We really have way to much stuff and we are really wanting to 'simplify' our lives.

I will talk more about simplifying our lives later in the week...
