I have been taking many pictures of the remodel of our home but have yet to upload the images. I will make an effort to do so within the next couple of days. August has been CRAZY (We had one week of 100 + temps) but then again everything has gotten crazy once Forrest and I decided to get rid of all of our "stuff" and move to Chicago!We have finally finished painting the outside of our house - that was a big hurdle!! Now we are painting everything on the inside (with the help of my sister and nephew!). We are scheduled to have all the floors installed next week and I am somewhat nervous about the final outcome. I also have the daunting task of sifting through all my "junk" that I have accumulated over the past 6 years. Most of our furniture and junk has been moved into the garage until we sell it, give it to Goodwill or box it up to move it. URGH! what a pain!
Yay, Mary - your blog looks great! Junk sifting...ewwwww! But just think how good it's going to feel when you're finished! What an adventure you're heading into. I look forward to seeing many photos and reading all the stories of your journey to your dream city.

Hey, Mary! What a great idea to have a blog. Now we can vicariously enjoy the trials, tribulations and joy of your relocation. I'm very proud of you for making this journey.
ReplyDeleteI don't call it getting rid of junk, I call it DeCrapification!

ReplyDeleteHi Mary: Your blog is very well done. I look forward to following every step of your journey. We are proud of you having the "guts" to take on such a life changing adventure.
ReplyDeleteI am (nearly) speechless! I hope this adventure turns out to be everything you hope for. The idea of moving and cleaning out my basement makes me break out in hives, I don't plan to go anywhere anytime soon ;)
