Almost Home Sweet Home

We are finally making the biggest purchase of our lives

Our very first home!

Boy did I forget how much work it is to pack up ALL of your belongings and move them into somewhere new.  

From the time I turned 22, I moved A LOT!  

At first I lived with my mom & that was great.  I still got home cooked meals and I could come & go as I wanted.  We were like roommates.  That may sound great in theory until you come home & your mom has "company".  And her friend has ran to the wrong bedroom!  We can all laugh about this now.  To this day, all I have to say is "tighty blackies"  and she turns beet red.  

I am awful, I know this

Hee Hee...

Once I started dating my husband, we lived together on & off for the first 3 years we were together.  My hubby lived with the motto "If it can't fit in my car, I'm not taking it".  I am the exact opposite.  I still have a tote of stuff from grade school & high school. 

It's funny how we ended up in our current apartment that we are leaving. My husbands friends from his 20's just rotated here.  Finally he moved in with 2 other guys before we moved down the street.  A year & a half later the roommates were gone.  The landlords had fixed the destroyed "Frat House" and we moved in.  

That was 13 years ago, almost to the day that we will be leaving.

We have accumulated lots of stuff. 

More importantly we have accumulated many more memories here in our sweet 3 bedroom, second floor apartment.   

We've celebrated Birthdays, grieved loss & welcomed life.

The end of an Era

The beginning of suburban life

Now back to shredding I will go

Before I start to cry, lol !!!
