Almost There

Posted in House and Home, Kara and Kyle, Moving by

We have a week to go before we move. A week! That’s 7 days! *insert happy dance here* We visit the Notary on Tuesday to sign all the paperwork. Hopefully it doesn’t take long and Kyle and I will be able to have a tasty lunch downtown before I have to work. We’ll see!

I’m more or less all packed. All that’s left to go are a few kitchen things and our clothes. Our moving schedule is going to go something like this:

Day 1/Possession Day: Pick up keys in the morning, move some stuff over in my car, leave Kyle a key, go to work, come home from work, move the essentials (kitchen, clothes, bathroom stuff), sleep at new house! We’re also having the cable/Internet installed the same day too, which is pretty exciting.

Day 2: Move all the big stuff. The beds, couch, TV and heavy stuff will be moved in. This will be the day were I just stay out of the way and let Kyle, his uncle, and his mom’s boyfriend move stuff. I’m just a weak little girl after all!

Day 3: Unpack boxes! I have to work at 5pm, so hopefully we can get it all done before then!

I’m soooooo looking forward to it all!

Anyone have any moving tips? Tricks? Horror stories?

Missing Molly

Posted in Dilemmas, Family, Kara and Kyle, Letting Go, Moving, Pets, Photos by

Yesterday, Kyle’s sister’s ex (long story) came and picked up Molly.

You see, we’re only allowed to have one dog as per strata by-laws in our new house, and because Daphne is more well behaved (and I refused to give her up), we decided to let Kyle’s sister take in Molly.

She’s wanted to take Molly for a while, but because she’s Kyle’s dog, he kept her. Now that our living situation is going to change, Kyle’s giving her up.

Of course, after his sister was all geared up and a date was made for Molly to be picked up, I found out that exceptions can be made and that there are units with two dogs instead of just one. But, we’re still letting Molly go live with Kyle’s sister.

Part of me hopes that it doesn’t work out and that we get to have Molly back. I feel so guilty for having to give her away, but at least it’s to a family member and not just a random stranger.

She’s been gone for maybe six hours now and I already miss her. :( I hope we get to visit her often.

Anticipation

Posted in Home, Kara and Kyle, Moving by

The anticipation moving up to our moving date is KILLING me. I’m at the point where I can’t pack anything else up because I need to use it. Hell, I’ve actually unpacked a few things because I realized that I still needed them. (Although they were by surprise because of my new freelancing gigs.)

Kyle and I have a pile of stuff for our new place and all I want to do is unpack it all and start the nesting process. Oh, and the killer part? Kyle might have to go to Jasper to work for 5 weeks the Tuesday after we move. GAH! Not that I’m upset about it, it should be good money and it’s not for that long. Hopefully we find out if he’s going soon …

I think I may have a little too much on my plate right now. Working two jobs, plus moving, plus 12 freelance stories, plus, plus, plus … I just want to move and get on with my life!

I’m going to need a vacation when this is all over. Or at least a trip to the spa. Or even just a day in bed.
