We’re selling ours. Here’s a link to our web-ad if interested.
I was expecting to have to say this when the baby came, but with the impending move/house selling nonsense, it’s happening sooner than I had planned. Basically, there isn’t going to be much in the way of knitting news around here in the near future, but I’m going to continue to blog. I love writing, it’s good for me. So while it may not be overly exciting to you to read about moving, packing, cleaning, house selling, etc., that’s going to be my life for the next couple of months, and thus, I’m going to be writing about it.
Although I have to say that I still want to knit that Superman baby blanket for junior, and a wee little hat. And I have two friends delivering babies soon that I need to make gifts for. (One of the baby showers is tomorrow night, ahem, and I need to get going on something).
So there will be some knitting content, but I promise you it will be more of the “hey! look at the 1/2 inch of sock I knitted yesterday!” variety. Not too exciting.
Sooooo, today I called the roofing company about roofing our house as quickly as possible, the waste management company about getting a huge dumpster delivered, the fitness equipment store about moving and re-setting up my weights when the time comes, the building inspector (we love him) about his availability, and I can’t go and pick up the mountain of boxes from my sister-in-law like I’d planned, because poor Veronica is so sick, she can’t even utter a coherent sentence or keep her eyes focused.
Lame.
We’re planning to place an offer on the house we love tonight. I’m making a zillion lists of things we need to do before listing ours. (Wanna cute house? email me). And I’m starting to pack unnecessary things to de-clutter for showing.
The plus side of all of this?
I NO LONGER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MAKING SPACE IN OUR LITTLE BEDROOMS FOR THE BABY’S STUFF!
I was going to have to get rid of furniture I didn’t want to get rid of. I was going to have to move, sort, throw away, reorganize, etc. just to get a dresser in there to hold the baby’s stuff, and now, I can spend that energy on getting ready to move. So really, it isn’t that much extra work than I would have had to do anyway.
Ok, ok, so it’s a TON more work and stress, BUT, there is a lot that would be overlap. So I can feel better about that.

It’s your blog, baby. Write whatever you want! When we moved I think I didn’t knit a stitch for around 2 months. That was hard. Then, it took me a while to get back into it.
Such an exciting time…new baby, new house!

Hooray for you! I will keep my fingers crossed that all goes well with your new house! I moved two times with new babies, one 4 days old (after c sections no less! lol) and one 2 month old. It works, just don’t push yourself too much. I’m so excited for you guys! If I lived closer I’d help out 🙂

i’ll still come and read. i love hearing about all of your adventures. knitting is fun, but it’s NOT life, right?! blessings on you and your offer on the new house!

Good luck with the offer on your house. Let us know when they accept!

Good luck with the house offer! I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for you!
And if you keep three boxes going as you pack (one for keepers, one for charity, one for trash), you’d be amazed how quickly your stuff slims down. The last time I moved, I had all of my new apartment stuff, plus everything that used to be in my parent’s house. It was quite a mountain. I kept a camera handy for all the things that I was keeping because they reminded me of something, not because I still actively used them. So when I got to Seattle, I had a relatively clean, clutterfree apartment and a CD of pictures of my past. 🙂 Don’t know if it’s something you want to bother with now, but you’ll love yourself later. 🙂

Best wishes for the house and the move. I am sure you’ll handle it well 🙂

You’ll do great with the move, and honestly, what great timing! You can sit on the sofa like a princess, with your feet up of course, and use your magic wand to direct the packers and movers. If we were closer, I’d bring you some meals. (I can’t think of anything from WI that would make it, maybe some cheese?)
Congratulations!
