We are pretty much through "the move". I mainain that we will NOT be doing this on our own again. I can deal with unpacking boxes, but the actual moving everything on our own is not something I even want to contemplate. I will pay (through the nose if I have too) to have someone do the heavy lifting and transfer to a new house. I will, I swear it! I like the military doing the moving for me, I am spoiled! I admit it. And Karen, I think I would have to kill the landlord!
Other than the pain of moving (and the muscle pain and bruises), we are good. I will be unpacking boxes for a while, but overall, it's not too bad. The painting we did looks pretty good and makes it feel more homey. I don't know that I would want to do that a lot, but it definitely helps.
It's going to take a few weeks for Derek (and I) to recover healthwise. Derek is having alot of problems because of the heavy lifting, lack of sleep, and general business of the move. I am coming down with a cold (probably from not taking care of myself for the past week, and I've got all of the sore muscles too. Ugg!
I will try to get some pictures taken to share with everyone once the chaos is under control (if that ever happens). In the emantime, just think of bubble gum pink for Mercedes room, country blue for the master bedroom, and a country to khaki green for Alexis. All three colors are nice and good for the person (people) who sleep in that room. The living room was a pain in the butt. We spent way more time than originally planned painting and repainting it. All I Can say is DO NOT choose a red or dark pink color unless you intend to paint it 3 or 4 times. We ended up painting about 3 times and putting a fauz finish on to make it look alright. And it does look nice. And there is SO much more room in the house overall. Granted, we have made a serious effort to get rid of "stuff", but part of it is that the layout of the house is slightly better.
Next weekend Derek and I are taking off for our romantic weekend in Cincinnati. I hope it turns out well. No stress, relaxation.
