Making progress
After returning from our trip, the preparations are in full force but some of the major items on the to do list have been scratched off…
What’s been done:
- Researched, got quotes from and finalized contract with moving company (they show up on July 27th)
- Researched, got quotes from and finalized contract to move both cars
- Posted Hamlin House for rent, had 2 Open Houses and found renter (moves in August 1st)
- Found a rental for us
- Purged every closet and had a yard sale
- Started boxing up a lot of stuff (thanks for helping Saundra!)
- Researched and narrowed down Pre-K programs for Sophie
Still left to do:
- Try to visit with as many LA friends as possible
- Pack, pack, pack
- Get house ready (clean, paint and do small repairs)
- Finalize school decision for Sophie
- Prepare for and hold kids’ bday party
- Prepare for and hold baby shower for our dear friend Laurie & Gary
- Figure out what to do with our plants and liquor (apparently the moving company’s have strict rules about taking those:( )
Lots of emotional moments these past few weeks and I’m sure upcoming weeks…..I booked a one-way ticket out of LA last night….feels weird…and good…and sad…and happy…
We’re going to miss you guys so much!! Such an exciting time for you and the new house looks fantastic. I hadn’t seen inside pictures yet. A whole new Riddell chapter to write!
