Moving Again...

WHAT A NIGHTMARE!  We sold my husband's home, and bought a home in the West Valley. We started moving into the gigantic home when I was still pregnant. This year my husband and I have been in different places much of the time. He is usually working on getting a home ready to sell, or packing and moving stuff. After we had Davey, we learned how difficult it is to raise. Most of the time we can't even keep up with him. It is so much more than you can even imagine.

My parent's lived further north, and they had decided to buy another home in their development. This made their current home open. The area is so nice, it doesn't get remotely as hot, and actually has some seasons! I had a chat with my boss about being able to work from home 100% of the time. I was so lucky to be able to do so. We decided to move up, and buy my parents home.

Moving with a child, especially a baby is insane! In fact, it should be an Olympic Sport! The fun begins again... Its been a couple of months, we are still moving, and trying to fit a 3000 square foot home into a little more than 1800. Hahah, when did we accumulate so much shit? I can fill my master closet with only my clothes. I have clothes for many different stages of my life. The ugh, I can't believe I fit in this size again.. the eh not doing too bad.. and the I CAN'T BELIEVE I FIT IN THIS AGAIN WOOHOO!  Right now I am somewhere between the first two, but I am not giving up hope that I will be in the later at some point again.

This neighborhood is really great. It is nice and quiet, you can actually see the stars. Its been raining a lot. There are sunny days, there are humid days, there are cloudy days. I love it so far. We have a really nice big club house, with a pool, hot tub, gym, and movie theater room. I am really excited to go there and spend some time out of the home, and not on my ass staring at a computer screen.

The thing that really sucks about living here, is that you have to drive very far to get to any stores. I am so used to having one right outside my neighborhood or a short drive. I have actually had to start making a shopping list. I can't just run out when I need something. The target is about 25 minutes away :( I used to be able to walk to one. I am hoping this inconvenience will make it easier for me to save more money.

It is really crazy, no one here is into fashion. It is going to be really easy to not worry much about my clothes, shoes, bags, etc. I don't think anyone knows who designers are, or cares. You can go into TJMAXX and find designer things on clearance! That would never happen anywhere in the Phoenix area. I was telling my husband, that I could probably be in style here for about 10-15 years with my current wardrobe.

My friend Josh, that I worked with for a short time, before my promotion, lives up this way. So once in a while I have been able to meet up with him. We have a great time, and laugh a lot. I'm so grateful to have such an awesome person to hang out with.

So my poor husband is once again fixing up a home to sell, packing up and moving up to our new home. Hoping our home will be listed in a week or so. We can't wait to be done and own one home. I guess we are going to need to have a garage sale at some point. We have three kitchen tables, 4 couches, 4 kitchen worth of things. We have given away a bunch of things, donated a bunch, and still we have more than anyone could want or need.

Anyone have any tips about how to organize a ton of stuff into a  small closet?
