Packing, Replanting & Organizing OH MY!

Moving day is this week and I'm getting soooo excited! We signed our lease today and Jon faxed all our info to the new landlord while I spent this afternoon replanting my leafy friends into larger and more move-safe pots. My avocado trees are still small babies so I'm worried about them, but I think my small trees, succulents and tropical plants should be alright. I hope they will be at least!

Although its kind of crazy living in this cramped little city of boxes, it's nice getting everything packed and organized. I just have my kitchen and closet to tackle before Wednesday when the truck will be here so I actually feel like it's real for once. I'm sure it'll feel more than real once we have to drive that huge moving truck all the way across the country :/

Road Trip!

Next Wednesday/Thursday we pack up everything we own in a moving truck, hook the car to the back and make our way, Oregon Trail-like, across the country. It's been several nerve wracking months in the making but we finally have a home to go to and we've scaled down enough to make this move tolerable. We'll need a serious trip to Ikea and the area thrift stores once we make it but this is finally doable. I plan on shooting the entire trip, taking video and keeping a journal so I'll add more to this as we go/once we get there.

I can't describe how excited I am to move to this beautiful city, but I'd be lying if I said I won't miss Atlanta. A fun town with some super-fun people plus it's growing beautifully. Can't wait to visit in the future to see it continue to progress, but I definitely feel Seattle will bring more to my life in the next few years!

Seattle

It seems like forever since my last blogpost!

Anyway, I've had a busy month...

We spent a week in Seattle,WA sightseeing and visiting with friends. We also decided Seattle is the city we'd LOVE to live. With that, we're moving there the first week of October. I'm not looking forward to a week in a moving truck with my car-sick pup or hundreds of miles of desert, but I think the reward in the end is more than worth it. I'm so SO excited to live on the coast again(I'm originally from Naples, FL) and the culture there seems more my style. After eleven years of "southern hospitality" I've had my share!

Also, I've included a link to my Flickr set of Seattle pictures I took while there. Click on this blog title and enjoy!!
