Huge update!

We got the house woo hoo! One road block down, with just a few to go. Thank you all for your good wishes, vibes, and prayers. I haven't been this happy in a very long time. I will be able to really start healing now.

:joyful: WAHOO! :D Wonderful news! :tup:

 

[DharmaGirl]

Yay! Yay! Good news! You deserve this huge break! When's the party?

 

[Tribulations]

A quick break from packing, I didn't realize we have so much crap lol.

Thanks MovinOn and PartyMonster :p. As far as a party, let me move in first lol!

Back to packing.

 

[Tribulations]

We've got one more room to finish packing today, and we get the moving truck in a few hours. One of my girlfriend's co workers is going to help us pack the truck. I don't like meeting people so I am anxious about it, but he is a retired marine/veteran so it should be okay. I generally get along with military folk, being a military brat myself. We're packing the truck today and moving in tomorrow, unfortunately electric won't be on until Monday though. Thank goodness for my "science toys" as my girlfriend calls them lol. I made a battery operated fan to keep us cool, and we have emergency lanterns for light. No showers until Monday though icky, but to me it is worth it.

I am so excited to just get there and unload.

I've moved many times and have learned a few tricks.

The box to travel with you contains, kettle, cups, coffee, milk and because you deserve it, nice cookies. Then the first room you make habitable, is your bedroom or to be more precise, make the bed(s).

It is so easy to go all kung ho, unpacking lounge, kitchen etc. Then feel too tired to make the beds. This way, a comfortable night is ready and waiting.

KP you rock, never even thought about that. I've been doing it wrong for years lol. Thank you.

I am currently sitting on our porch outside, looking at the huge trees surrounding us, hearing the birds and leaves rustle, wind blowing through my hair. It's a good day.

It's a good day.

I'm glad for you. You have brought a smile to my face. I'm thinking of you sat on your porch - nice.

 

[Tribulations]

Thank you KP :). It was kind of weird having so much silence again, but I am really happy. I swept our front porch this morning, and spent some time with our dogs as they ran around playing. Our neighbors seem like nice people, they threw an Easter get together and everyone left around 10:40pm. They had a lot of people and kids there and weren't loud at all. Of course I observed this from a distance but the fact they were considerate of their noise levels, really makes me think this is a good place for us.

I haven't been outside for so long before this place, and it feels good to just sit outside and watch the clouds. I still get kind of anxious going outside but baby steps. I feel I have made some progress in the few days I have been here. It feels good, heck great! I will be starting a journal here soon, I think I am ready now. I'm going to take some days away from the forum to take it all in and prepare to start my journal and heal.

Good for you Trib. Baby steps to rebuilding your life. It is as it should be.

Thanks KP, it is going well thus far. Still nervous about it, but the good thing is I am sleeping hard enough to dream. I had two dreams back to back for the last 2 days. I analyzed them with a dream dictionary. The result was pretty on point, my dreams were all about entering a new positive phase of my life. That it would be emotional but the end result would be good, and that I am unsure/nervous about it. Crazy right?

As far as Allsup they haven't called us back, so we are going to call instead of filling out the online request more information form.

Other than that getting the house fixed and situated, and cleaning. Never knew sand was so hard to clean off tile, lol always something new to learn.
