Moving On Up

I'm going to share a bit of good news -- we bought a house. The bad news in this scenerio is that we have to move.

We've lived in our current home for 6 years. It has been a great first house. We bought it right after we married and I graduated from college. Needless to say, we didn't have a lot of furniture. We had college furniture. You know what I mean -- a futon, a recliner, a flea market table. These weren't real items of furniture. These were pieces we'd picked up along our 3 previous moves.

Since we've been living in our current house, we've acquired a lot of furniture. We've made the transition over these 6 years from college students to newlyweds, from newlyweds to old marrieds, from singletons to parents. And do you know how much stuff a toddler needs? Man, we've got toys coming out of every corner, and he would still rather play with pots and pans, boxes, or toothbrushes (don't ask).

I think he'll survive the transition well because there's a swingset in the backyard. If there's one thing our boy loves to do, it's swing (aka 'wing'). As for me, my mother-in-law and I will be spending this Friday painting and the weekend packing/moving what we can before the movers arrive next Thursday. Wish me luck!!
