No Longer a Dream

It’s no longer a dream and it’s not a back yard full of mud. Far from it. It’s official. Ron and I have completed the deal and we are moving to the beautiful Villa de Gracia. Both our house sale and our house purchase will close on May 15. We move on June 16. Please excuse any lapses in blogging as the madness, chaos, and hard work of moving unfolds. I have to say that I have not enjoyed this process and I hope to avoid going through it again for a very long time. The reality of packing this house is overwhelming. I am exhausted just thinking about it. I won’t be having fun until I am unpacking in the new home. So don’t ask if I’m having fun yet until June 17. Meanwhile, send any tips on where to get good boxes free. We need, um, probably about 800. I need a bumper sticker that says “I’d rather be writing.”

Oh, congratulations! You've had a wonderful sense of humor about all the feelings and difficulties. May you have every kind of joy in the House of Grace.

Hi Amy,

Check Craig's list and Ebay for boxes. People who have just moved will give them away if you pick them up.

Here's a couple of links with moving schedules:
