The Joys of Moving

If anyone ever tells you that moving from one home to another is easy, they haven't done it. A few years ago after there were some break-ins around the neighborhood and we started thinking that moving would be a good idea, so my dad asked how fast we could get out if we had to and I told him that we could be out in a weekend. A person couldn't be more wrong about anything in the history of mankind. We decided to build our new house around the first weekend in March and we have been packing, purging, painting, and purging some more. Half the crap that we have thrown out is stuff I don't ever remember seeing before, which isn't a loss for anyone.

And over the past week that we have had off from working/subbing has been a whirlwind of purging and painting. Two rooms, a hallway, the basement hallway and the kitchen ceiling has taken two coats of paint, and or primer, not to mention having to move all of our crap around to get to certain spots with a roller!

While we are certainly upgrading our living situation on every conceivable level, this prep work to sell our house has been extremely exhausting. And sure as hell couldn't have been done in a single weekend.
