Checking In

We have big news around our casa!  Big as in we are moving to a bigger casa!  We will be gaining 300 square feet, an extra bedroom, and a dining room.  Yay!  The backyard is also much nicer, larger and in a square shape instead of an "L."  The landscaping isn't great, but then neither was the landscaping at this house, but we quickly remedied that.  Remember our Yard of the Month award? : )

We don't get the keys until the 21st, and we have big goals of getting all moved in before Thanksgiving.  Not impossible, but we'll have to see how many helpers with trucks we can round up.

Of course, there will be some things we miss about this house.  We really like the neighbors that moved in next door, and their little miniature schnauzer too.  He and Chloe are good buddies.

And then there are the amazing sunsets we can see from the backyard.



On the bright, or should I say less sunny side, our new house is oriented so that the patio will be shaded in the afternoon and evening.  It will be nice to hang out back there without feeling like we are sitting on the face of the sun.

Did I mention we will have an actual dining room?  Yep, I am excited about that.  It will be so nice to not have carpet under our dining room table!  It will be great to have a living room that's not trying to be a living room/dining room/office/playroom!

So, I have lots to organize and purge in the next week.  I'm sure our garbage can will be full and I will have a couple loads to take to the thrift store.  I'll take pictures as soon as I can.

Have a great day!
