Today is my last day as a twenty two-year-old. And so it seems fitting that it’s also my last day living in my house.

And I mean the word ‘living’ very loosely here. All of our things have been moved to the new place but we’re in transition still. No hot water until tomorrow afternoon so I’d rather sleep on a couch in our old house than take a cold shower at the new one.

So we did just that last night. Since we are selling our big sectional, it is still in the old place. We pushed the two pieces together and laid our bedding over the top.

I think Will tossed and turned all night but I thought it was really fun to sleep that way!

It amazes me that Will and his buddy got 90% of our things out of there yesterday because we have so much stuff.

And that’s just the little stuff. Our electronics and furniture and clothing are a whole other issue.

But it’s all moved now and despite a few snags (electric dryer but gas hook up) we’re getting pretty close.

Empty rooms

Random odds and ends

The chain on the ceiling light sticks (shhh) so I had to improvise a light for cleaning last night.

An old lamp propped up on the vacuum. Did the trick.

It’s funny how you think you have everything that you need to take and then you look again and see yet another thing you need.

I thought we had the living room down to the giveaways

Then I sat down on the couch and realized we still had Anni’s bells on the door.

And as I was taking those down, I realized we still had a major item in the backyard.

Will built that beer ping table last summer but it never really got used. But it’s been there for so long it just seems like part of the yard.

Hopefully we can get some frat boys to come pick it up. I don’t think our bulk trash pick up will take another thing.

While this house did afford me a warm shower, pickins have been slim on the food front. All cookware and pantry food is packed so I have what’s in my refrigerator, most of which requires prep. So I’ve just been enjoying peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for breakfast.

I guess it shouldn’t surprise me how much I’ve ended up enjoying these. It has three of my favorite things all put together. Still not a contender with my oatmeal though. PB&J oats are the best!

I’m really bummed to have to be at work today. I want to unpack, which is my favorite part of moving. Lucky Will gets to do that today. That is, if he can ever find a place that will take our uhaul. He’s been to three lots and they’re all full! I’m trying not to focus on that because I want to be excited and not stressed about this move. I can’t wait for all the firsts in this place! Tomorrow I’ll start year 23 in my new home – so excited!
