Today is the day!

The moving truck arrives at 8am and hopefully we can get everything in and out of the truck as quickly as possible. The kids have been taken to their Yia Yias house so they dont get under our feet and im looking forward to seeing an empty house. In a way, it’s come full circle…

We first peered into this house as a newly engaged couple. Excited about the endless possibilities and new memories we’d be creating. Dreaming of house parties, barbeques on summer evenings and eventually the pitter patter of little feet. So when we look back at the house one last time  it’ll be a fond farewell as we move on into the next phase of our life- into a new home with new memories and endless possibilities.

There will be 100 boxes to unpack but i am looking forward to finding a place for everything.

I will be offline until we get our internet connection activiated and i’m hoping it will be closer to the 10- rather than 20days of the “possibly 10-20days till your connectiuon is live” estimation from our provider. I think i’d go mad being offline for 20 days- keep an eye out in the news for the “Woman goes cukoo after Internet withdrawl” headline, it could quite possibly be me.

Yes we are moving house, the official move day is the 10th of June so 10 days to go. 10 days to finish packing up the whole house. Most of the kitchen is done, theres just the saucepans, pantry and bare bones of crockery left. The office is done and the job we are dreading most is the shed! Maybe i can just relinquish this as a male domain and delegate that one to the hubby…

The most annoyingpart of moving is getting in contact with everyone to let them know your new address and number and to answer the usual questions of  Why? Where? How? and When? If i could fit all of that on a 6×4″ card i’d certainly save myself some money on the phone bill but for now i’ll just settle for the Moving announcement cards i’ve made and wait for the phone to ring.

Heres a little peek of the un-detailed version…

I had fun picking the little toys for the rugrats to balance on their boxes. At the moment they are blissfully unaware that any of this is actually happening (apart from the every growing mountain of boxes in the office) and when i told them that we are going to a new house very soon, Alex asked me in a very serious tone: “…but can i take my Ben10 watch?” Like that was THE most important thing that he needed to ensure made it across the harbour bridge! So hard to keep a straight face somedays!
