I think the hardest part of this move has been trying to figure out where to put the pine unit. Now this piece of furniture has been with me almost since I moved here to the states it was one of the pieces Philipp and I bough when furnishing our apartment in Jersey City. It went with me to Maplewood and has been very useful for storage with nice deep draws and shelves, in Dublin it was crammed with games and everything else under the sun. We have more storage here but it's still a good place to keep the wireless printer and other things such as my cook books until I can get them out into the living room area and that's not going to be for awhile yet. Yet I have found the spot! I didn't really want it out in the man cave...didn't feel like going out there every time I wanted a cook book and it's great storage for my photograph albums. Ah just need James to come home tonight and move it into it's new home. It has a lot of memories for me some good some bad but it's also just been a very solid piece of furniture I would hate to part with.
The bedroom is almost almost there, ok so the closet is a mess still but at least I nearly have everything away again in the bathrooms. Between us yesterday I think we managed to almost unpack about 4 boxes of stuff. I think the next problem I'm going to have is deciding where to put my pictures and needlework, hmm Debbie she has a good eye I think I'll have to enlist her help as I just don't have a good feel for it yet.
Ah the guilty pleasure of knowing that this stuff is going to be in it's place for awhile now. Last 6 years we have moved 3 times now and each time I've dreaded it...this last one was the hardest by far with the addition of 9 1/2 month daughters to have to care for in the mix. At least everyone now is starting to settle down and well we shouldn't have to move again if ever. The girls have a garden to play in, Mum has storage and a guest room. Ah breath breath breath. Will take the girls for a walk this morning too:) First one in a long long time and I'm kinda looking forward to it.
