We moved into our new house a few days before Christmas and with the moving, didn't have as much time as usual to worry about stuff. We bought a new sectional sofa and that was our gift to each other. Then we bought each other a few needed items--shoes, slippers, jeans, socks, etc. I took a day off on Thurs. and Fri. was a holiday day so worked hard to get things unpacked and the house in order--was impossible to do it all. We went to church on Christmas Eve and then decided not to bother wrapping gifts, etc since we knew everything that we had bought for each other--couldn't find the tape anyway! Christmas morning I found the tape and wrapped gifts for T&T and baked my cookies (dough was in the fridge). Then continued sorting things while the roast beef was cooking. T&T were both on call so we ate in shifts but it was still good to spend the evening with them.
Good to be in the house even though we're living with lots of boxes and clutter. Have a few people looking at the old house to rent--met with a couple today that we both felt comfortable about. Wade is showing it to some others tomorrow. Pray that something works out, please. We still have some things to move and have to spend some time cleaning up.
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a great new year!

That is good news! Hope everything works out well for you. Tell Wade and the kids I said hello, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Ho, ho, ho.
ReplyDeleteGood for you!!! Sorry haven't checked this in a little bit....You'll get it all unpacked and have it all put away after a bit....Let us know about the other house....EXCITING times!!! Love ya....
ReplyDeleteOur contract with the realtor expires on Dec 31 and we are taking it off the market. We have a couple who want to rent it and a list of people who want to see it if that falls through. Someday when the market looks better we'll try again to sell it.
ReplyDeleteWell at least that sounds good.....that you can rent it and have others interested....Hope your unpacking is going good!! Ugh!!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to unpack at least a box a day. It's hard, but I guess you know about that! Do you still have stuff to unpack?
ReplyDeleteNo...but I am still rearranging where things go...and then when I think I've figured it out...I think of a better plan....It was weird though to put Xmas decorations up in a new house...I'd lived there that long that everything went back in the same place...year after year....So thought I wouldn't use as many in this house and could get rid of some decorations but....nope...used them all...
ReplyDeleteHope your new year is a good one...We didn't do anything....had gotten some scrimp and other stuff to eat...but I got this "bug" so slept most of the evening...woke up about 11:15 to watch the countdown with Gary...First year that we have watched in a long time...still not "up to snuff" today but feeling better...
