From Behind a Sea Of Boxes
Our progress on our move is coming along nicely. For the past two days we have been inundated with packers who have managed to packup every item we own. Now our house is nothing but a jumble of boxes; boxes that, by the way, I have managed to stub every single toe in while attempting to maneuver my way to the bathroom in the dark in the middle of the night! Today the moving van arrives to pick up said boxes and all the furniture. Once the house is completely empty the cleaning can begin. That should not take to long. However, in the midst of cleaning we will be packing all of Shannon's belongings into a rented U-Haul and driving it across town to her new apartment. So,my weekend will consist of cleaning this house and helping Shannon set up her apartment and shopping for items she will need.
Monday we will close on the house and Marcus will leave, returning to Virginia with our dog. I am anxious to close on the house and have our fat little profit wired to our checking account. I want to send all that money off to various creditors before I am tempted to spend it. I really think that renting a house instead of buying one was a great decision for us as it allowed us to pay off nearly all our debt rather than spend our money on a buying a home. The prospect of paying off nearly all of our debt is very appealing!
On another note, I am finding it very strange that I am not feeling sad about this move. Usually when we move I am sad to leave my town, my house etc. So sad in fact that I usually break down crying several times. That has not really happened yet--well, no breakdown concerning leaving the house!! I am very sad and worried about leaving Shannon behind, but I am handling it much better than I thought I would. Certainly better than I handled leaving Lindsay; but, that could be due to the fact that Lindsay was only 17, whereas Shannon is 21. I think part of me is excited to go to the new house and part of me is excited about this new life that Marcus and I are about to embark on. We have NEVER been just the two of us--we have always had children. It will be interesting to see how we adjust to this new found freedom.
