Moving upstairs to #11, still a ton of work.


Moving is a pain, even when it's just up a flight of stairs! A 3 bedroom apartment came available two weeks ago and we spontaneously decided to take it, or rather I spontaneously decided it was a great idea and talked my ever so cautious and loving husband into it!

No boxes needed, just pick the stuff up and move it, how hard can that be? Well it's just as hard as packing it all in boxes and moving it across town, the only upside is that it's less expensive... no truck needed! But now after 6 days of moving, two of those with me sick, we are fully in our new place, pictures on the walls and everything.

Why a bigger place?  One bathroom is never enough, even when it's just Oscar & I alone in the house. We had Justin, Suzy & the girls come to visit in March and it was like a sardine can in our 2 bedroom down stairs.
Plus our 2nd room acted as an office/guest/Oscar's closet room and had to be changed around every time someone came for a visit. I was getting really tired of working from the kitchen table plus the all the kids in our building playing right outside our kitchen window was too much of a distraction for this "kid-loving" YiaYia.

Next adventure? We are off to OKC to see the kids for Winter's birthday and movies..... Blue the dog will be visiting with his buddy Frankie for the next few months so he will be our travel companion!
