We did two things this week that make the upcoming move much more real. First, we exchanged refrigerators in our kitchen. I’m a refrigerator snob and just can’t give my nice, freezer on the bottom fridge to the renter. So we brought over one from storage and put that in my kitchen for now, so that we could set aside the one that Don will attempt to fit in the trailer and take with him in a couple weeks when he heads south. Either that or we’ll just store it until we move all our furniture. It isn’t my best fridge, which is in the rental in New Auburn, but it is my second favorite, and it seems silly to leave it here and have to buy a new one when we get down there. We’ll have to buy a stove, as it is.
Second, we moved the big piano to Erica’s and brought home the small one, which is going to make our lives MUCH easier as we enter this phase of life. It has been a burden for some time to have to find a house with an extra room for a piano to live in! I don’t regret purchasing it 15 years ago, and I’m glad Erica and Tim have room for it, because that means I can still have “visiting privileges!” But I feel somehow lighter not having to deal with moving that any more. And yesterday’s move wasn’t the best, although nothing got broken and no one got hurt.
I’m excited and exhausted for you at the same time!
