On the Move: Part 2

We are T minus 2 days and counting from the move. There are boxes filling the front room of the basement, and there are still a few things to be packed, disassembled, and readied for the journey. Andrew is plugging away at summer school reading and I am plugging away at work and last minute preparations for our new place.

Something about moving makes it seem like we get a fresh start at things. I have it in my head that once we move, I will keep our apartment a lot more neat and clean. That I will keep the decor simple and smart. That we will have people over more. That I will cook more, and walk to the store more. And that we will plug into the community in which we live. And all this because we are transplanting. It's not New Year. It's not our anniversary. It's just a move. And moving is not something I would recommend doing very often if you can help it. But the idea of getting to break out of the rut we got into in the old place is fantastic. I would encourage anyone who reads this to think about ruts that you may be stuck in and how to break out of them even though you are not moving anywhere for a while. What changes do you want to make and haven't yet? I'll let you know if these ideas of mine stick or not. But we'll see...
