You may have noticed I dropped off the blog lately. Its been a wee bit crazy around here. Basically, the last few months have run me over like a speeding bus. But to sum up… we’ve have to make huge decisions. My husband’s job is being transferred. To Boston. We only had a few weeks to decide if we wanted to go. (Helloooo, stress headaches!)
Did you catch that?
We’re moving!!!!!
We are really excited. Okay – 80% excited, 20% terrified about packing up our lives and going somewhere completely new. We’re obviously heartbroken to leave our good friends we have here in Philly, but hope that the Internet and short drive to where we’re moving (only 4½ hours! Merely a hop, skip and a jump, folks!) will help us keep in touch. And we’re moving close to a bunch of family family members, so that’s new!
The kids are handling it very well. They are getting excited about a new place and a new house. And the dog we’ve promised to consider getting. We’ve gone up to visit twice now and fell quickly in love with the area we’re considering living in. Its so sweet and quaint – and this little perk doesn’t hurt:
Oh, yes. That is the beach. Now granted – it is New England, so you can swim in it comfortably for about 2 weeks at the end of August, but still… OCEAN! BEACH! WOOT!
Meanwhile, I have a to-do list as long as my kitchen table to get ready for this. We’re putting our house on the market in March, so this month I am cleaning, throwing away junk, sorting, packing, throwing away junk, cleaning more, painting, organizing and throwing away junk. (WHERE DOES ALL THE JUNK COME FROM?) And we’re generally doing all those little jobs that you leave when you live here and fix when you move. Like patching cracks, fixing broken closet doors and finally really cleaning off the smoothie that ended up on the ceiling when Ellie turned on the blender without the lid.
I could really use a clone or two for February to help me get things done.
We’ll keep you posted, but we’re so excited and eager to see what this year will bring!
