Almost Done Packing. Moving Up Next.
Wow. We’re really, really tired. Who knew we had so much stuff? Especially after you actually box EVERYTHING. It’s so much stuff - I wish I had a picture - well, I do, but there are technical difficulties and so I can’t post a picture of the boxes/furniture right now. Later I guess. So today you receive stock photos from um, well, from whenever over the past few weeks.
Exhausted is the appropriate term to describe the two of us. Seriously. Leah’s asleep right now and I’m still up having just finished my latest paper/homework assignment due tonight at midnight Mountain Time. Ummm. Fortunately, today was a relatively cool day so we were able to get the packing almost done without battling too much heat. It was actually kind of tolerable inside of our house. But we get to not live here anymore starting tomorrow! That’s so awesome. You have no idea.

Moving out of this rundown shack is just another major step in the next step of our lives. Well, not really a ‘major’ step, just a big change. A physical change. Because we’ve lived here since we arrived in Atlanta and have been through a lot of uncomfortable times in this house. So uncomfortable that I almost doubt that we’ll even look back fondly on our time spent here. Seriously. You know how you can look back on a terrible experience and somehow the ‘good’ things come to the surface and that’s what you mostly remember? I doubt that’ll happen with this place. It’s just… we’re SO ready to get out of here. Leah was ready to get out of here 12 months ago. Yes. We’ve been here for 1.5 years.
Although there are probably some memories that’ll come to the surface after we’ve been away for a while. But definitely not anytime soon. Still. The new place is better in every possible way. Location. Central AC/Heat, insulation! modern fixtures! water pressure! two walkin closets! And um, Location!
So while Leah prepares to stop working at her job, and I prepare to um, be working, things are moving along nicely and somehow, we keep going without too much trouble (at least not enough trouble that it would force us to actually write about it here - cause if that happened, then you’d know it was SERIOUS.)
But I’m tired now. Good night and have an awesome Tuesday! ‘Aw heck. You know we’ll blog again tomorrow too.
Ah. Back when I used to run - A LOT.
I’m sooo glad your new place will have A/C!!!!! Moving sucks..but it’s always fun to start fresh again.
Internet fame has caught up with you guys! I found this site via the couch post on the atlanta lj community (or was it LJ-atlanta?) and added it to my google reader a week or two ago. Tonight, two of my friends and I (lorigami and glueandglitter on LJ) saw you at the Edgewood Kroger and had a whole discussion about if it was you two or not. And if it was creepy or not that we were staring at you and trying to figure out if it was leahandmark or not. (admittedly, this was after some sake at ru-sans)
So, um, welcome to the neighborhood!
Wow, really? Haha…. fame is actually a possibility, according to my astrological chart. I guess it’s happening earlier than expected. Hmm, need to get a reading on Mark, too. Mark - what time were you born?? We should find out. Cuz if you’re supposed to be famous, too… well then we’d better stock up on wigs and sunglasses cuz I don’t want to deal with tons of paparazzi.
But three cool craftspeople in the grocery store? Now that I can deal with. We’ll have to keep an eye for you around town. Maybe next time we’ll spot you first. Y’all make awesomeprettythings. Yay!
Hi Leah! =) Actually, it was more like 3 drunk craftspeople in the kroger. There may or may not have been a 10 minute photo shoot in the cat food aisle…
Hey, we’re all about impromptu public photo shoots… even sober. We have no shame. Or modicum of propriety. I’m sorry we missed out on the fun!
Aw, thank you for the compliment about our stuff Leah!
Lori’s right… we might as well have set up lights and a backdrop in the kitty food aisle. We were allllll over the idea of capturing the magic of getting household basics.
