In which we take a deep breath...

[jesshartley]

Thank you to all of you who have been keeping good house thoughts going for us here in Bisbee. It's been a little hectic (boy is that an understatement!) but it all worked out in the end. We managed, through some creative financing, to get into our top choice house, and we'll be picking up the keys at 4pm today and starting the move-in.

I can't even begin to find words to say how relieved I am to be moving into a place that will be /ours/. I'm a boggan at heart, and working, cooking, cleaning and taking care of the family in a place that is not only mine, but is chaotic in both energy and physically, is a lot with the crazymaking for me. I can't wait to drag my crockpot out of storage and make our first batch of chili, and to snuggle with the family on our own couch again, not to mention sleeping in our king bed again (as opposed to the 'double mattress, on the floor' we've been in for the last two months.)

Anyway, this is likely the last breather I'll have again until our stuff is all out of this rental and the storage unit and my office is set up, so thank you all again for your good thoughts!

Whooo-ha!!

Try not to hurt thyself while unpacking, especially not the fingers which produce nice things to be read. :-)

Congratulations! There's nothing like having your own space after being forced to do without it! I hope moving day is stress free and goes smoothly.

The closing process is so frustrating I'm amazed you've done it so often in such a short period. That deserves applause!

Congratulations! When I talked to you, I didn't realize you were still in the process of settling in to Bisbee.

Congrats!

While I've not had to deal with some of the challenges you have, I can definitely understand that unsettled feeling.

Mazel Tov! Mrs. T is much the same way.

We miss you terribly of course, but am glad to hear all is going well for you out West.

Very, very awesome! I'm so glad everything worked out and you now have a house of your own. I hope you all setlle in nicely and quickly and enjoy it. You've certainly worked hard for it! :D

Continuing with good thoughts!

I always hated the last part of unpacking, where you're left with the stuff you have no idea what to do with and end up packing it away again. On the upside, this can lead to interesting discoveries years later when you clean out your attic/basement/garage. "Oh, wow! I haven't seen this in years! I wondered what had happened to it."

(Ten years and still unpacking...)

Oh my

Hurray!

I totally understand the whole Boggan thing, believe me... so glad you are finally getting your stuff out of storage! Especially the bed, hard to picture you and the Viking on a double matress on the floor.. ugh..

*Hugs to all!*

Go You! :)

Let the settling in begin!
It's fall: excellent weather for "chili" nights (sorry. Well, not too sorry)

What I learned from our move six years ago: Do not lose your sewing machine manual! (We still haven't found it!)

WOOT! Good for you! :) It seems to be a good time for friends and houses, I just heard of another who got the house he and his Lady were looking at. Have fun with the unpacking part,- (It can be like Christmas all over again, I swear!) :D

[essencenchanted.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on the house! Hope you guys don't get too stressed out from all the moving around. :D

[lostsatyr.livejournal.com]

Congrats! Despite liking to travel, I can sympathise with the wanting to be in a place that is just yours :)
