Packing it up!

Well packing was very last minute we had an earlier moving date then a change to two weeks later and then laziness kicked in. House was full of boxes and the reality hit we are moving in two days! My mom took Gio the night before and we stayed up late packing everything up. The movers arrived at 7 am and Luan started taking down the beds and taping some last minute boxes closed. I watched with Alex as the movers efficiently moved us out. One thing I did notice was how in the world did we accumulate so much in a small space??? Ugh hh makes me want to throw stuff out ASAP! Well I headed to the house to vacuum because the carpet was cleaned the day before and they advised to vacuum prior to setting all furniture down.   Movers arrived right after I did and started setting everything down. Now it looks like we don't have enough furniture thanks to bigger space. Lol. Always a complaint by me!

Well our rental is cute overall except it could use new carpet and paint in the bedrooms. The previous owners had cats and the smell of cat litter is strong. I mean I have lived with pets before but the smell was overwhelming. We also had a mixup of appliances, long story always drama in our house, but finally resolved and settled. Talked to landlord she agreed to paint and change carpet in bedrooms, but still waiting on that. Honestly we are about 75% settled in can't wait to get carpet put in to finally complete unpacking. Gio loves his new playroom and Alex is trying to adjust. He isn't quite sleeping as well as in the condo. He got sick right after our move couldn't tell if it was allergies or virus, had to use gios nebulizer on him just to get the gunky congestion in his chest out. Thankfully to my love of homeopaths and now new found passion for doterra essential oils, both boys are quickly recovering. Two weeks in, boxes are still everywhere, clothes aren't unpacked and  no progress, so it's making me crazy. Balancing unpacking, preschool start and work has been wild, so hopefully this weekend we will clean it all up! Thankfully this is a rental and we will only be here for two years, god willing. Learning what we want and don't want in our future old or new home. In the meantime making our White House as Gio calls it home sweet home!
