I am so sad. So, so sad to be leaving Larpenteur Estates. This place has been home for a year and half now. It feels like we have been here for much longer. Perhaps, because we have accumulated so much during the time we have been here. I love it here. I like that the place has so much space, a LOT of closet space and a fireplace. None of which I will have in the new place we are moving to. My friend, Roslyn reminded me of one important thing though. yes, we may be moving to a less luxurious place, but guess what? It's OURS! We can have a puppy! I am sure we will make the new place our own and come to love it just about as much.
We have to rent a U-Haul to get the big stuff moved. Thankfully, my sister, brother in law and Zach have volunteered to help us. Everyone should know that I hate moving with Mitch if I am the only help he has. Just because I am not moving at the pace he is going at, he gets very impatient. I get frustrated because he is annoyed. Then everything becomes irritating. Honestly, I had even considered hiring movers to do the work just so Mitch and I wouldn't spend the day snipping at each other, but Mitch talked me out of it. So, I found out today that picking up a U-Haul truck at one location adn dropping it off in another isn't as easy as it sounds. I found out today that I can't do that because the specific truck might not be available for what is considered an "out of town" trip if I don't bring it back to the same place. Umm ok? Going from St Paul to St Paul. So now we have to drive all the way back to drop off the truck where we picked it up and drive our car back to our new home. I tell Mitch that I am sad to be leaving Roseville and our apartment that we made home from having nothing. I mean, really, all we had when we moved was our bed. That's it. We sat on the floor to have dinner. Mitch reminds me that another adventure awaits us and I have to keeping reminding myself of that. Mitch and I are moving on, to a different phase of our lives. ~Di |
AuthorsI live my life in a series of perpetual moments. That is what life is, an assortment of moments. I try to look for them, live in them, and then look for the next one. Sometimes I speak too soon and ruin moments. But then again, I suppose that just makes it a different kind of moment. Archives
