It's Been A Week

First, let me say how much I don't like moving. The actual physical labor and packing and unpacking is not fun.

But now that we're here, I'm felling pretty good. I really like Sandpoint with it's small town charm. We've already got our driver's license and Kevin has his plates! We're working on setting up our office, guest bedroom, dining room, and master bedroom. I'm almost done with my kitchen. The dressing room is nothing short of awesome! An entire room dedicated to clothing and accessories (I'm in heaven).

On Memorial Day, we went on the lake with a couple of friends then the next day, Kevin started work. He's been in training and really enjoys it so far. I'm still looking for a job but I've already had some interest in Pampered Chef!

Well, I should get back to work unpacking. I'm trying to find some glass pans so I can made diner. Yet another set back to moving... finding stuff when you get there.

  • Bathroom floors
  • Bathroom base molding
  • 4 kitchen doors to finish painting and hanging
  • Hallway wall paint
  • Master bedroom paint
  • Clean out storage
  • ...and pack.
In a week.

Lord help us!

I'm Moving

It hasn't been officially announced to too many people yet, but I am moving. My boyfriend, Kevin, has accepted a job in Sandpoint, ID starting June 1st, so we will be loading up a moving truck and making the 16 hour drive to Northern Idaho in late May.



I'm practically every emotion over this endevour. Happy, sad, excited, anxious, nervous, worried... Packing up my life and leaving my family and friends is going to be, by far, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do in my life to date. But I am looking forward to living in a smaller community and in a part of the country that had captured my heart at a young age.

One thing I'm not looking forward to... snow.

I've never, ever, ever, driven in the snow. I can count on one hand how many times I've actually seen snow in person. Yep, I've lived less then two hours away from snow my entire life and I've been less then five times... and now I'm moving to snow country! Lord, have mercy!

I don't know, maybe I'll learn to snowboard or something... maybe...

Stay tuned for the trials and tribulations of packing up California and heading to Idaho and how well I acclimate to small town life.
