After three years at our Portland apartment, it's time to say good bye to it. This is our last week here. We move this weekend. Tensions are high. We are trying to make sure that we get every thing for that we need to do.
So for the next week or so, it'll be a test of both of our sanities. This could either be the best thing ever for us, or be really super bad. I'm the eternal optimist though, so it has to be good.
Of course, moving means packing. And, I had not taken into consideration when the move was becoming a reality, how much stuff Shaunna Rai actually has. I mean, for real, she has two rooms devoted to her stuff, here. But it wasn't until we started packing her up that it dawned on me, just how much stuff she has either purchased, made, had made for her, or inherited over the last three years. So much clothing and shoes.
While I dread the act of loading and unloading the truck, I have to say, I'm excited about where we are moving. It's away from ocean water (which I am not crazy about), but it's quiet and country-ish. It's near the Auburn mall exit. It's a whole house to ourselves with a garage and two decks and a yard. (It's too bad that we work so much and the landlords don't want pets, because it would be the perfect place to have a dog.) We will be able to grill on the deck, get a fire pit set up. It will be fun. But, that's all dependent on whether we look each other during the move or not.
So here's hoping that a new start in a new place that has just been renovated well be better than the start we got here, that turned into a leaky ceiling on the second floor of a three floor building kind of problem.
