On high of the bodily effort, I’ve had so many adulting issues this yr which have required my time and a focus that I’m simply fairly exhausted emotionally too! From Mazen’s damaged ribs at Christmas to promoting our household dwelling and furnishings in it to a lot and many paperwork, after which shopping for this new home, it’s been a whole lot of adulting! And now, I’m lastly settled.

However I’m so joyful to be right here. I already know this was an ideal determination, and I’m already waking as much as have espresso with this view each morning (like an episode of Home Hunters!) and feeling so grateful.

I did a lot prep work earlier than I closed on the brand new home to get my rental fastened up. I caulked and painted partitions (I didn’t know I used to be succesful!), I took down my video doorbell, I cleaned, I magic erased, I swapped curtains, and I packed and packed. Sure I used an previous snorkel as a paint stirrer! Very profesh.

These paint contact up pens are GENIUS for small spots and patches! Fill them as soon as after which click on to color everytime you want a contact up with out opening a can.

Getting The Keys!

I went straight to the brand new home and let it soak in!

After which the transfer started!

I spent two complete days transferring all of the small issues: lamps, garments, linens, pillows, closets, provides, the pantry, and the fridge. I additionally had my home cleaners come to do a move-in clear, and they’re the BEST! That meant I may deal with transferring somewhat than wiping the within of cupboards and so they did such a unbelievable job. I obtained us all Al Carbon for dinner.

Friday was movers day. They arrived and stated “you don’t have a lot stuff in any respect,” however it nonetheless took 4 guys virtually six hours to get the whole lot out. I did a bunch of cleansing whereas they labored and packed up my garments. They solely introduced one wardrobe field, so I needed to make 3 journeys.
