Still getting ready to move...

So we rented a cute little duplex.  Mailed the signed lease and security deposit today.  Dumped the movers.  Found Jameel (the guinea pig) a new home.  And packed a few boxes.


What I'm really saying, is we aren't ready at all, and the duplex is ready for us Dec. 27.  YIKES!



The moving company gave us a $1900 quote.  I guess since we're on the second floor and we're moving 4 hours away...but still, we aren't moving ANY appliances at all, not even a microwave, so you think it would have been a little more reasonable.  I told them thanks but no thanks.  We'll get some friends to help us for free and load up a Uhaul for $300.  Sure we'll have gas costs on top of that, and my husband will be terribly grouchy, but we'll have saved over a thousand dollars, lol.

I'm nervous and excited all at the same time.  I'm already missing my family because I'm basically snowed in here just living 30 minutes away.  Imagine 4 hours....yuck, yuck.

In other news...it's FREEZING.  At 10 o'clock this morning my husband was getting ready to go to work and told me to check the temp.  I told him, "why bother, it's glacial..."  And true to my word, it was a whopping 3 degrees Fahrenheit.  3 degrees at 10 a.m.  Sucks, it does.  We have ice on the inside of our windows, lol. 

I'm glad I don't live in Alaska.  I couldn't stand winter for that long.
