Packing and Purging

Chris and I spent NYE at home. I made a nice dinner - steak, mushroom risotto and broccoli. We shared a delicious bottle of Veuve Clicquot. It was a lovely night and the perfect way to welcome a new year.
The rest of our 4 day break was spent packing, purging and cleaning. I am still shocked at the amount of shit we have accumulated over the last 7 years. Some of the stuff is just ridiculous. It feels really good to get rid of all the unnecessary clutter. We are going to have a BIG garage sale. We started moving some boxes and musical equipment. I have started setting up the new kitchen. The cabinet space at the new place is awesome. Chris is doing some touch up painting and we will be ready to move the big stuff over by the 19th. I refuse to help with heavy lifting and hauling shit up and down the stairs; luckily Chris is understanding. He's going to get a few friends to help him. Check out some pics of our new casa.

The master bathroom makes me so happy. It even has a private toilet room, so I can be showering, and Chris can be pooping, and we can both have privacy! The closet is amazing too, huge, with shoe shelves, so I display my pretties! We are losing a bedroom in the move, but we are gaining things that will make every day life easier. Like me being 4 miles from my job! No more road rage! We are going to be walking distance to a few of our favorite bars. I'm going to be able to walk to 4 of my friends houses. 2nd Street here we come!
