Moving

Doesn't it feel like we were JUST doing this yesterday? For those of you who've been tracking our lives, it should. Seeing as we are preparing for our FIFTH move since we were married a little over a year ago in January. The first was the move into our Fort Collins townhouse. We were there seven months. The second move was into our basement apartment also in Fort Collins...with a short one month stay. The third move was into our Philly friend's basement for two months before we could make our fourth move into our Willow Grove apartment. We've been here since September of 2004, a grand total of seven months...tying with our first Fort Collins abode. Now we are in the process of our fifth move that is HOPEFULLY semi-permanent (aka: More-Than-Seven-Months permanent!) We worked over the weekend and really hard-core last night going more than 5 hours without a break. And that's just 1/4 of the house...maybe. Even though I feel as if I toss & give away so much with each move, it never seems to make much of an impact. Box by box, shelf by shelf, room by room...the task feels unbearably tedious at times. But we're making progress and have some hope at the end of our tunnel. Instead of making this move on our own or with one other couple, like we've done in the past, we have tons of awesome volunteers offering to give themselves to us all Saturday. What a relief!! That is definately helping my mood as I just get things in boxes...knowing there will be friends to help us transport it come this weekend! My 18 week pregnant body was not liking the packing and lifting of just one night, so I can't imagine how much it'd hate me after a day of moving without some other able bodies to help! We're plenty excited to get down to Mt. Airy and be able to LIVE in this community we've been "commuting" to over the past few months :0) We'll have a house-warming party to celebrate next weekend. It will be an exciting weekend this coming one with the move on Saturday, Easter Sunday, and our first ultrasound on Monday! We'll keep you all posted on how everything goes over the next week.
