Ready to Go!

Joe and I have ordered or bought all the big things for our new place that we needed ... bed, mattress, night stands, bar stools, washer & dryer, and the sofa and loveseat. We've made appointments for things to be delivered, done the change of address forms, called the cable company, and we're even finishing off our the food that we don't want to bring to the new place.

It's all done... now we want to move!  

We're just a week away, and we are so darn anxious.  It feels like moving is the only thing we talk about anymore.  The thought of being settled in, able to have friends over, and enjoying our new house sounds so nice.  We already have a few overnight guests penciled in for April and May, and that is so exciting!

I'm also excited to paint (nothing crazy! just a few walls in a few rooms) and Kate has graciously offered her services...  Thanks, Kate! :)  Joe wants to paint our bedroom, so we'll probably get to that first.  After that, I want to paint a wall or two in my office, and maybe the guest bedroom... we'll see how adventurous I feel!

I guess what makes us even more anxious than anything is that we don't have to pack.  Yes, it's the coolest thing ever, but it also keeps us from really moving forward... you know?  If we packed, we'd feel less anxious, I think, like we were doing something.  But soon enough, the 19th will be here and we'll be in our new place.  Yay!

For now, I've been doing silly little things when I feel really anxious... I've taken all the frames and artwork down, put all of my things from my travels in a central box, and started to put all the linens together... makes me feel better!

Any advice to keep me sane, other than a xanex? :)
