I like the reset. I like establishing a brand new house. However boy, is transferring exhausting. On prime of the bodily effort, I’ve had so many adulting issues this yr which have required my time and a spotlight that I’m simply fairly exhausted emotionally too! From Mazen’s damaged ribs at Christmas to promoting our household house and furnishings in it to a lot and plenty of paperwork, after which shopping for this new home, it’s been a number of adulting! And now, I’m lastly settled.
However I’m so joyful to be right here. I already know this was a terrific choice, and I’m already waking as much as have espresso with this view each morning (like an episode of Home Hunters!) and feeling so grateful.
(You probably have no concept why I moved, learn this put up after which this put up!)
Transfer Prep
I did a lot prep work earlier than I closed on the brand new home to get my rental fastened up. I caulked and painted partitions (I didn’t know I used to be succesful!), I took down my video doorbell, I cleaned, I magic erased, I swapped curtains, and I packed and packed. Sure I used an outdated snorkel as a paint stirrer! Very profesh.
These paint contact up pens are GENIUS for small spots and patches! Fill them as soon as after which click on to color everytime you want a contact up with out opening a can.
Getting The Keys!
Due to one of the best realtor, Ivy Haines, for bringing the keys (and champagne!) to the fitness center!
I went straight to the brand new home and let it soak in!
After which the transfer started!
I spent two total days transferring all of the small issues: lamps, garments, linens, pillows, closets, provides, the pantry, and the fridge. I additionally had my home cleaners come to do a move-in clear, and they’re the BEST! That meant I may give attention to transferring somewhat than wiping the within of cupboards and so they did such a unbelievable job. I obtained us all Al Carbon for dinner.

Friday was movers day. They arrived and mentioned “you don’t have a lot stuff in any respect,” but it surely nonetheless took 4 guys virtually six hours to get the whole lot out. I did a bunch of cleansing whereas they labored and packed up my garments. They solely introduced one wardrobe field, so I needed to make 3 journeys.
