Another move in the works...
Well, I had hoped to avoid this particular step, but I'm going to be moving over the next several months. First step is paying the man for the warehouse. We are going to be leasing a really nice one so we can have our animals and not have to worry about the communist bastard that lives next door. I know how he must have voted in the last election... but I digress. The next step, after getting utilities set up and on, is building the dog kennels and moving them. Then the cat area, storage for food and stuff, and finally my bird area/office. Oh, and after all this we need to find a place to lay our own heads... almost forgot about that. Anyway, there are several good things about this move. One, we can save money on utilities and rent. Our house payment now is $2500, and that is just rediculas. Then, this drafty house costs us around $900 a month on the budget plan for utilities. And we were freezing during that last cold snap. Another good thing is that I will be closer to church. Only about 4 blocks away, as it happens. Also all the stores that I go to are a lot closer, so that will save money, too. Once we move, we can start trying to sell this place. Hopefully the market picks up and we won't have to worry about it for long. I'll miss the pool, and the country, but this should help for at least the next 18 months or so, so I can figure out my next step in life. No one knows what the universe will bring me, so we'll just wait and see. Until then, I'm off to get things ready.

And closer to me, hehe. I loved the house you're in but I honestly do think you'll all be happier.
I hate moving!!!! you never really know how much you have collected over the years until you have to pack it up.
I wish you the very best in your endeavors to sell your place. Here in Central and North Florida the real estate market is suffering. If you own rental property here, you are taking a beating too.
Best of Luck.
As an aside to what Curious Curandera said. I really have to laugh.
A couple of years ago my son came up to visit for several days.
I was not even in the process of moving but . . .
He said, "Pops you have way too much shit crammed into the attic and house. We're going to get rid of a lot of this shit. If I put something out in the back yard DO NOT bring it back in." We argued about some of the stuff that I brought back in. I won a few discussions, he won most. We got rid of four large pickup truck loads of my stuff. Brings a smile to my heart to remember the days when he had more time to spend with me.

I feel your pain. Sarah and I are rapidly approaching push come to shove. We still basically have an entire household of stuff to get rid of in order to move into the same house. The goal to accomplish this was last spring. :)
Once Sarah drops out of the work force to finish her degree, we're out of time. Is it time to panic yet? Chuckle
