We've successfully packed our entire house. I lived there for about 5.5 years, John lived there with me for about 2.5 years and Madeline has lived with us for about 1 year, not including the time spent in utero. That's a whole lotta time to accumulate a whole lotta stuff.
We moved into our temporary "home" which is a two bed/two level condo in Nordeast Minneapolis that we are renting from my parents until we find our "real house". A much smaller home that we're used to, but it's beautiful and we have an incredible view of the Minneapolis skyline as well as the new Twins stadium and let's not forget the lovely Hennepin Avenue bridge. The location is fantastic. Steps away from some of the greatest places this city has to offer. We're very fortunate to call this place home.
Madeline doesn't know it yet, but one day she'll be bragging to her friends that she lived in this place ;-)
On Monday the movers arrived at the old house and I saw, for the first time since July 30th 2004, my house....empty. It was a little sad, I was a little melancholy for a moment or two but I didn't have much time to be nostalgic, I had to move onto the next thing.
Friday we will close on our home and it's officially OVER. What an experience moving is. Takes a lot out of a person, physically of course, but emotionally....wow. I'm drained. I told husband that Friday evening we're celebrating with wine and good food! Then it's time to sit back and relax and enjoy what ever comes next.
All that said, we've just returned from a nice jog around Nicollet Island to take advantage of the warmer temperatures and the sunshine this evening.....dinner's in the oven, gotta go!
Enjoy these photos from Madeline's session earlier this fall.
