It's the little things.
We took our girls to our new home site today. I do wish it were a glorious house with a clay tile roof, lots of sunlight, marvelous landscaping, solar panels, a gourmet kitchen, extra bedrooms for guests, a vegetable and herb garden and on and on... It's not. Not yet anyway. We have finally made that tough grown-up decision and are downsizing (tremendously). We're moving into a two bedroom apartment. Neither one of us has really ever experienced true apartment living. I had an apartment for five months when I was single. That's about it. Nathan lived in an apartment with a roommate but had no neighbors and no one living above or below him. It'll change things when people are above and below.
Anyway, so we Mitchells embark on a new crazy adventure. I'm extremely excited and a bit
overwhelmed with the quantity of STUFF we have accumulated over the years that I now have the privilege of donating to someone else who can find a good use for it. We've been using HOPE (http://www.hopeservices.org/) which has been a huge blessing to us!
We took the girls to our new home today to see the grounds, see their room and take note of the pool and hot tub. They were sold as soon as they plunged their hands into the hot tub. And plunge they did! Mateja is convinced this is a MUCH better location than Santana Row (which we had considered as a future home) and is thrilled that we are moving here. Hallelujah!
We are all thrilled. And we're saving a bundle (hello!) so we decided that we ought to buy some new furniture! So that's the next part of our adventure.
