I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now. My parents asked us to move into the family vacation home 17 years ago and take care of the place. They would be with us all summer long and other family members would come and visit. After my mom passed away we were just wondering how long it would take for us to be asked to move. Because of all the drama of the past two years escalating we are not waiting to move before our son graduates from college as was agreed on. We have found a house five miles from town which came available and we are thrilled to be moving. Our drive right now is about twenty miles one way to town and each car in gasoline uses about $150 to $200 each month so will be saving a bunch on gasoline/petro and wear and tear on the cars. Have already packed many boxes and set up a date with the movers. Have decided to stop posting/commenting here with you cuties by this weekend and concentrate on getting ready for the move. Will probably lurk for a moment and give flowers to stay caught up. After getting moved and settled in will be back. I am requesting a weather prayer that any major winter storm/snow will hold off until after we get moved. We moved from Illinois to Indiana in a blizzard with our infant daughter and that was a very unpleasant move. Anita (capoodle)

Thank you. We are still concerned about the weather. 14 days till the move and the Weather Channel only gives a ten day outlook.

Our diveway has a very steep grade and even in our 4-Wheel drives have issues so a moving van on snow/ice will have to be cancelled till it would melt off and I don't that to happen.
9483I hope everything goes well and the moving is over and done and everything put in your new place very soon. Moving is very hard on everyone that has to take part in it! It is alot of hard work to get everything packed and moved out and even harder to get things unpacked and set up. May this be an easy move with NO problems! Enjoy your new home! Hugs, Linda

Thank you. This is the longest time we have lived anywhere and 17 years of stuff is a lot to pack. Spent the summer clearing out the basement in anticipation of this issue so I'm that much ahead on the packing.
24961Hope the moving process goes well. This way you have your own place! That should help avoid unpleasant family situations.

Thank you and I'm sure there will still be some drama since we are leaving earlier than they expected. We just haven't told them yet so we can move in peace.
62461may your move go well, and you like the new place. It looks more easy because of the distance now. So we will see you when you are able to be on Cute. (Unless you will move as in the picture LOL)Good luck and hugs for now!

Should have read wee to heavy so It's Tylenol for me today. Will just leave the boxes where they are being packed for today.
743311I just put gas in the car it was $3.95 I think a gallon for the cheapest unleaded.
Hope all goes well and winter is kind during your move. Will miss your comments.

Thank you. Withdrawal from cuties for a couple weeks will be hard. Going to check into who provides internet for that area today and try to set up an installation appointment.
37638Anita - wishing that your move goes well for you. We will all be here when you get the time to come back to Cute. Go well. Hugs Sarah.

Thank you. I have lots of practice moving my parents, our children, and our 14 other moves. I'd rather pack than have the movers do it.
255054Good luck, sounds like this will be much easier on you than it has been. Get settled and relax and worry about cute when you are more at ease. We will all be here waiting and yes, we will love to see pics!

Thank you less stree. With the house being set up as a time share we were uncertain as to where to live for 12 weeks each year. Plus it is furnished with all of our belongs with no private place to put items we don't want used.
33580Praying for you starting right now! God give you a safe and easy move with sunny and gracious weather, and keep you strong and healthy in the process! God Bless and keep you all!

Forgot about staying healthy during the move and the winter cold weather. Thank you for the prayer.
19452Anita, I am sure this will be a good move for you - I will be praying for good weather for you and the movers - get your stuff packed and then unpacked and settled - we will all be here - when you return dear. I am thrilled for you and hope you share some pictures with you get all settled, too. It sure will be nice - not to have to pay for all that gas and to not have to worry about that drive way, too.

Thank you Shirlene, you are right about not having to pay or wait for someone to come to have our long driveway plowed. Forgot the moving date is February 31.

Not with you hand injury. We have used these local movers before and they send three people and make quick work of the move.

My DH has arthritic of the spine so we have to have help. Sometimes we have rented a U-Haul and paid younger ones we know but this comes out to be about the same amount and they are professional.
72397Anita wishing you all the best with your move and look forward to seeing you back here when you are ready and able

Just got a load of boxes and end rolls of paper from the local newspaper so I can pack at my leisure now. Like to get everything unpacked within a couple weeks so will be back on then.
