Moving

Moving -- the bane of my existence -- which is why I tend to stay put. Plus, I moved around a lot in the late 90s, often living out of a suitcase, so I like to have roots and a home. Wil moved to NH in July 2007 and we started renting a house. At first, it was great -- but after a time, it just got to be too much for us. We didn't have time or energy to keep up with the lawn, shoveling in the winter was obnoxious and we didn't need that much space. In mid-July we moved to a 2 bedroom ground floor apartment in Concord. Within days I felt at home!! Even though we were still walking around boxes and couldn't find much....it was home. :^)

Financially, it was a great move -- much cheaper rent & utility costs. Plus, we could take our animals, there's central air and heat and a DISHWASHER!! I've run it a few times and love it. SOOOOOO much easier!! I missed having a dishwasher. Wil was recently laid off; cutting back on our expenses has been a mission. This move was definitely a step in the right direction.

We had some fabulous helpers during our move. Scott, Jeff, Shawn and mom -- you were all wonderful!! We couldn't have done it without you. We'll have you over for dinner soon. :^)
