This summer has been one of moving...and more moving! To start things off, my mom downsized to a beautiful condo which was like a month-long process. Going through a house with 20-plus years of stuff required a lot of work. Thankfully, she's finally settled and has just a few more boxes to put away. Come August, it was time for my sister to move to college. Go Richmond Spiders! And now it's almost September and we just moved my dad from his rental to the house where mom used to live (long story). Oh my, the dust in that rental...well, let's just say we're all still sneezing and blowing our noses. Someone needs to be introduced to Swiffer Dusters. So dad has quite a bit of unpacking to do and so I'll probably spend a few days this week up there to assist. Thank you LORD that this moving stuff is almost done!
The house dad is moving back into is where I grew up. My parents bought it as a fixer-upper. It's taken a long time, but it's now finally getting the TLC it needs- spruced up hardwood floors, central air, updated kitchen and bathrooms, new electrical box...eventually a garage, landscaping, different paint colors, and perhaps a deck? My brother has also decided to open up the wall between the kitchen and dining room...demo time. It's going to be a whole new house.
During this whole moving process I've confirmed a few things in my mind:
1. Yep, I still hate clutter.
2. I love houses without stairs.
3. I don't want to ever say, "Wow! I haven't seen this in 15 years!"
4. Just say "no" to fixer-uppers.
So enough with moving talk.
Things here are going well. I made some delicious chicken tacos today. We also got to see our friends' new baby girl- Jillian Elizabeth. She's absolutely precious. Heaven sent. It was the first time Scott ever held a newborn. We have the new title of Auntie Christi and Uncle Scottie which is pretty sweet! I can hardly imagine having a little one of our own, but one of these days we'll get to be proud parents too.
Scott is working hard as always at his job and I'm enjoying my part-time one. Still praying about a school position so we'll see what happens.
