Tape and boxes

And brand new lockses.

That's right, I'm moving! I found a renter for the house (who will be paying my mortgage for me thank-you-very-much) and I will be paying drastically less every month for my housing. Thank goodness for Cari, the best roommate ever! We will be signing our lease tonight and then I'm going to get my hair all chopped off. Well, depending upon how brave I get. But at least it is brown again. No more blonde for this girl.

I am not really looking forward to the next two weeks of packing, cleaning, selling and moving but it is a huge step for me, and one that I believe to be in the right direction. It will be strange living in an apartment building again after being in my own house for so long. I'm sure for the amount of time I'm actually home, I wont notice, well except for when it comes time to clean. That will be a giant piece of yummy chocolate cake. Right? Right.

I even found good homes for the dogs. Montana went to a coworker's mom's house. Lots of land where she can run until she can't and there is another black lab for her to wrestle with. Her favorite. Mom and dad have been gracious enough to be Henri's temporary home. I'm pretty sure she will manage getting used to all the attention from mom and the kids. As long as they have a tennis ball or two, she is a happy dog. I will miss them though, but definitely not all the dog hair.

Other than that, I don't have much time for anything else. The next few weeks will be filled with dust, tape and trips to Union Grove and back.

I guess I will see you all on the other side of Hwy 75!
