Soooo. Hey. I don't have internet at home yet, so I'll be blogging at work on my breaks and during lunch. Hopefully, my friend D. will come over tonight and help me set it all up with my wireless router and everything. She's awesome like that.
The actual moving day went well. I had a crew of me + 4 other people and a couple of hideously ugly, but very large '70's vehicles to move things. I served up pizza for lunch and we were all done with the big stuff by around 4'ish. I still had a lot of little things to move and everything to clean, but I could tell everyone (including myself) was pretty tired and over it all. So, we called it done, and I spent the next 3 days packing and moving the last of the stuff and cleaning until last night at 10:30.
Between cleaning the old place and going to Ames to watch Coadster sing in the All-State concert, I've really only been to the new place to sleep so far. The seller left the house in such a disgusting state, that I can't even think about unpacking until I clean everything. I'm still finding old cereal boxes in the cupboards and I opened up the oven door to find that although she did actually spray some cleaner around, she never got around to actually cleaning it. Thanks a lot, crazy, messy, groovy, New Agey, seller lady.
Starting today, I can start cleaning and unpacking and getting things situated. The girls didn't get to see the inside of the house until we moved in and they love, love, love it. They were surprised at how much bigger it looked on the inside. For some reason, it looks a lot smaller from outside.
Okay. Hopefully tonight I'll have internet at home and I can slowly but surely get going on reading your blogs and writing better blog posts of my own.

Welcome home!
Oh, nastiness is not a pleasant thing when you are moving in. But, it will be clean and amazing soon. Happiness to you in your new home!
it is indeed very interesting when a house looks so much smaller on the outside. My old house was like that.
Congrats hon! I hope it all keeps going smoothly!
YAY! I am so happy for you! Moving is exhausting, but in the end highly satisfying. :-)
Congratulation, Churlita. I know the feeling. Hopefully your Internet connection is up and running.
Glad that the move went as well as could be. Once your cleaning's done I hope you get some time to revel in your own place.
Congrats! And shame on New Agey seller lady for leaving it dirty. Wasn't there a walk-through before the closing?
Congrats again on your home! That is so awesome!Now comes the worst part, unpacking!
hooray for having everything moved!
and boo! for having to clean before unpacking.
I have friends that just moved in to a new (first) house and she had to clean like that too. Weird stuff just left there. blech.
Thanksgiving will be cool though, huh?
Yea! Yea! Yea! Sleeping in your own home! Even cleaning your own stove!
