Early this fall, Dale announced that he was looking at houses. When I asked him more, he did admit that he had only looked on the internet. Dale had been talking about moving for a while but I didn't take him seriously. Thinking that I would get Dale to reconsider moving, I made appointments to go look at some houses.
Surprisingly, to me anyway, we found a house we liked. By the time we were thinking about making an offer, that house already had an offer on it.
In the meantime, we had been looking at other houses. We made another offer. After a second round of offers on the second house, we were told we had an accepted offer.
We closed on our new house November 21. We were given the keys to the new house on November 24.
We started moving "stuff", and there was a lot of "stuff", as soon as we were allowed into the house. The big stuff was moved December 1 by awesome fellows from Dale's workplace.
We decided to rent out the old house so Dale worked on cleaning, painting, and getting the old house ready the whole month of December. I think we have renters that plan to move in next weekend.
We have been settling in to the new house and trying to get into the new routine of this location. It is a really nice house and it shouldn't be too difficult to get into the groove of things.
Moving is crazy. I thought that I was ok at functioning in chaos. Moving taught me differently. I like it best when everything is in its place and everything has a place. I like to know where to put a thing when I pick it up off the floor. It is nice to be organized!
