Ding Dong, our house is sold
Our house is sold, our house is sold.
Ding Dong, our Lehi house is sold!

Ding dong, our move is done
Our move is done, our move is done.
Ding Dong, our nasty move is done!!!!
(sung to the tune from Wizard of Oz)

This little diddy has been going through my head for the last couple of days. The move was back breaking, hard and at times brought a few tears to my eyes but thanks to some great friends and wonderful family we made it and it's on to the next chapter. Darren and I worked our butts off getting everything packed away and sorted for long term (stays in storage til we find a house), short term (stays in storage until my parents house is done), and immediate (over to Darren's sisters house, where we'll be for the next 2 weeks). We made soooo many trips to the storage unit that I can probably make the trip in my sleep - in fact I probably did a few times! Sunday was our last day in the house and it was really hard for me as I realized this wouldn't be my house anymore. We put so much into it and now we were walking away...really? It will be hard for a little bit, but I'm really looking forward to what lies ahead for us. Darren and I can't agree on what direction to go next but I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to talk him into buying a fixer-upper and letting me design a beautiful home for us. (He's wanting to buy a newer home, is that even a word?) Life should be a little less crazy for me now and I'm going to enjoy this time of little responsibility and worries...knock on wood.

I'm glad you survived. I don't know if I could have done it. Good for you!

No wonder you haven't posted recently! I know all of your organization will really pay off in the next few months. Now put your feet up and read a good book!

As much as I love change, moving is 100 times more work than fun. Thank heavens it's over for you. Uhh... nevermind that last line. :o(

Yay for moving! Yay you get to move again! YAY!
