Moving thoughts, reflections

Moving is a bit of a strange process. All of a sudden you expect yourself to be adjusted to where the measuring cups are or where to put all the stuff from the dishwasher. Things that used to be so second nature overnight (or over the course of a week) have changed.
It is all about fresh beginnings too. Maybe the tools used to be totally disorganized in a heap now there is a chance to make it right.
I think it can be loads of pressure too. The thought of unpacking can be a little daunting, but the thought of moving things once unpacked? No thank you.
There has been lots of time for reflection lately, and I thought a little before and after from our place in MN was in order.

Living Room





Half Bath



The tour stops here. I really wish we had a good picture of how horrid the kitchen was. But we don't really. But trust me it was bad.

The place we are living now is in great shape. All the appliances and fixtures are pretty new, and I understand why Realtors are always talking about beige being king. The office here is an interesting shade of minty green and Odin's room? Very faint pink. He preferred the closet in the pink room and chose it over the green room.

We are getting pretty used to our new home city (not including the number if time I have accidentally gotten on the freeway or had to turn around). Our new home too. I have spent the past two ays buying shelves for closets and other necessary things to finish unpacking, because as we all know thing take up much more room in boxes. One of these days we would like to put cars in the garage.
