Finally!!! on July 9th we got a contract on our house. It was super exciting... AND... crazy because the closing was set for July 31st (just about 3 weeks) and we were heading to the beach the next week. It was such a funny time because we'd been in Wait Wait Wait mode and suddenly we had to hurry up and take care of things quickly!!!
Enjoying a last treat on the front porch.
We packed as much as we could and then took off for the beach. Actually, Max and Sabine left for the beach on Saturday while I helped manage a yoga workshop and hosted the teacher and her dog at the crazy boxed up house. Then I went to the beach on Sunday night.
Max left our beach trip on Wednesday night so he could come home to work on Thursday. Then on Friday he met the movers and they moved everything from the old house to the new. All the furniture and big stuff was loaded onto the truck and moved the 3 blocks to our new place.
So when Sabine and I came home on Saturday we came home to our new house instead of our old. (it was definitely a little strange!!) There was still more boxing and random items to collect at the old house, not to mention plenty to do at the new, so my very sweet mama came home from the beach with us to help for the weekend. Saturday night we just got ourselves settled in, but Sunday afternoon and into the night we boxed and boxed and boxed... the basement, the kitchen stuff, the bathroom... whew! Who knew we had so much stuff??? We really need to purge!!!
But by the time mom left on Monday afternoon we'd gotten plenty of work done in both houses. Thank goodness for Mamas!!!
Here they are together on our new front steps (no big porch anymore).
Sabine is in her princess dress, and Mamaboo is holding
the sweet doggie puppet: Brown Sugar!
