For the past few months, we’ve been moving full steam ahead as we worked on the cabin and prepared for the upcoming move. Then the packers arrived to box up our household goods and move them into storage at our new location. Munchkin and I cleaned the house in preparation for the final move-out inspection.
Munchkin attended her final TaeKwonDo classes and wrapped it all up with Ninja Night where she said a goodbye to her instructors and friends. She received some cards and nun-chucks as a farewell gift. It was a sad moment to be sure.
On Monday morning, after clearing housing, Munchkin and I hit the road with the dogs and guinea pigs and a trailer in tow. D remained behind as he still has some things to get done at work before heading to the new duty station. The 5th wheel would be his home for the upcoming days. Upon arrival at the cabin, Munchkin and I unpacked the trailer and truck and settled in for the night.
While we still had things to get done, the change of pace that we experienced upon arrival here was quite noticeable. Oh, I still had a to do list, but the sense of urgency just didn’t seem to be there. I admit to feeling a bit bad for D as he was/is still in the thick of things at work, but I’m grateful that things are less hectic.
All too soon, we’ll be back to the craziness of house hunting, moving into the new place, and unpacking. For now, I’ll enjoy the slower pace and enjoy the simpler life. Ironically, that slower, simpler life also includes a lack on internet except on my phone unless we make a trip to the library. That takes some getting used to, and it also explains my lack of presence on my blog as of late. 😉
