Whew! What a Whirlwind!

Wondering where I've been? Well, it's not been in Michigan for the last 5 days...we drove out to Maryland last Tuesday with two doped-up cats, one fully-packed truck, two bikes on the bike carrier, and a lot of hopes for an easy transition.

Before heading out, we were packing a Pod, having the carpets cleaned, a room painted, closet doors hung, packing last minute items, and doing a ton of last minute errands.

This was a life-saver:


The snow melted by packing day, but just as we got going, it started up again:


Needed to shovel a path at this point - it's about 6:30 a.m.

I think we even shoved a few more things in here after this pic was taken...

And this is the stuff that didn't need to be in the house to show it - mostly personal items, clutter, and a lot of my 'junk' ;) It's important to show a house like a model home - something that looks like a buyer could move their stuff in and live in it right away.

We were packing right up until noon on Tuesday and we had to get on the road...so I didn't have time to take the staged pictures - SORRY!! I'll have them when I head back home...soon...and I may even have some news to share with you!

Keep your fingers crossed that my house sells and we can find one in Maryland quickly!

  2. Fingers crossed...I would need 2 pods to shove the stuff in that didn't need to be in the house to show it! But, you know how I feel about Pods...

  4. It is an experience you won't soon forget, trust me. Like I said, I don't like moving. But it sounds like you are doing well. Good luck! Can't wait to see you all settled.
