I’m happy to report that we have found an apartment – hooray! It took longer than we like because, well, we’re stubborn and spoiled and we wanted something like our current apartment. Alas, it was not to be found in the area in which we were looking. 
Oh well. Our next best choice is a complex in Southampton that is reasonably priced and that is quiet – or at least we think it’s quiet. It’s a longer drive for me but shorter for Pete, which is what we expected and were looking for. As long as he’s not driving 1.5 hours to get to work anymore life will be much, much better! I’ve done a “test run” of the drive for me and it doesn’t look too bad – sweet! We’ll be picking up the keys on the 19th, moving some small things during that week, and then doing the big move on Sunday, the 26th of July. Somewhere in between there we need to:
- Go on vacation for the 4th of July
- Get ready for a yard sale
- Have the yard sale
- Attend a baby shower
- Attend a bridal shower
- Attend a 1st birthday party
- And I’ll be working 2 of the weekend days between here and there – 1 Saturday and 1 Sunday
So, yeah, trying not to feel overwhelmed by that… On the up side, Pete and I have taken off July 1st and 2nd and we’re not heading out on vacation until the 3rd. That’ll give us 2 days of uninterrupted time in the house to tackle the packing and organizing. Doesn’t that sound like fun?!?! At least we’ll be in the nice cool basement while we work!
