It's our first night in the new place. Walking through the house is akin to walking through a big storage locker with narrow aisles left for passage. I don't even know where to begin once I'm ready to start unpacking. And we still have a few things left at the old place - we ran out of space in the moving truck, ran out of energy, and ran out of motivation to get every last thing moved today. Plus, we still have minor repairs and major cleaning to do there before turning in the keys....
I only have one more thing to say tonight before dropping off to sleep. Moving sucks! I don't want to do this again.

Congratulations on the new home! LOL on moving sucks- I say that every ten or so years when I move, too
Yeah, moving does suck, which is one of the other reasons I've been loath to consider moving to a bigger place ;).
But, hey, once you get it all unpacked and put away, you'll feel so amazing!
Welcome to your new home. You'll have such a wonderful time making it your own. I wish you a long and happy life there as you put down your roots.
Good to hear you're in your place at last! :)
And glad to hear fron you, too!
Looking forward to more info when you're able to write.
peace, shamba
But, it'll all be worth it when you look back. That's when your worst nightmares of moving turn into special anecdotes in the mortar of your love. (OMG. Too poetic for a Sat!) Get some rest but not enough to be too comfortable or you'll never want to empty a box!
Congrats!!!
Yep. We've done it way too many times in the last few years. I feel myself starting to settle... I hope you do too!
At this moment, I'm not sure I'll ever get everything unpacked! Ack!
Yay and Congrats!
My advice is, start unpacking with the kitchen. One of the things that drove me the most nuts when I moved was not being able to prepare a decent meal. The rest of the crap is easier dealt with if you're well fed.
