SO excited about moving!

Jeff and I have been talking about what we need to do and saying stuff like, "Are you really sure, yea, I'm sure..." Back and forth. He has been so supportive, even for Gen. He said she could have her room painted if she wants (although, to keep things easy, I will vote to not bring up the issue at all.) But other stuff, like having a Christmas tree... he's a guy, I didn't think he would want one or care to have one. He told me "Heck yea, we'll have a tree and it has to be real too." Surprises, surprises. I told him I feel bad bringing in my "junk" and he said, "We all have junk." Sigh. And I really am doing my best to get rid of all my crap I thought was special at one time. I find things and say, "What the heck is this? From who? Or why do I STILL have this? God, I love throwing things out. I am obviously my mother's child.

By putting all the stuff from the basement into my room, my mom, Erin, and I will sweep out the basement and clean it up. I have a hunch the stuff will stay in the room for a long, long time. But Erin and Aevar should have that room for themselves and I am hopeful they can turn the smaller room into the computer room or, sigh, a guest room. Wouldn't WE feel rich?!

It feels right and fun. I am so excited I am ready to move now. We already have a mattress in the room for Gen (it needs to air out.) And I have slowly brought in other things- shoes, a baking pan, and a beaded flower pot Grandma made. The beads are rather brittle and BING off every once in a while. (Toothbrush was actually the first thing moved in.)

SO EXCITED.
