~~~The Move is Complete!!!~~~

Good Monday afternoon my friends!!! Wow, it has been a VERY busy few weeks around here! I apologize for being MIA but as I told you in an earlier post, our daughter, SIL, and their 2 dogs moved in with us this weekend. They will be here while their BEAUTIFUL, new house is being built!!!!!! I am SO over the moon happy for them! So, I took some pics, mainly so they would have a record of their first move together, and I thought I would share them with you. On Fri. they both took a half day off so I went over to help pack up the last few things. The dogs greeted me when I got there!!!

Tracy bought this house almost 6 years ago so it is a little sad to her to be leaving it. The ironic thing about this house is that if you sit on that bench on the front porch you are looking directly across the street at the middle school that she and our son attended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are bags etc. of things to come here.

This hutch was our sons and he gave it to Tracy when she moved into this house.

Boxes for here and storage....

The kitchen getting packed up too. We left the decorations over the cabinets for the renter since she wanted us to.

The table and boxes go to storage.

On Sat. morning we took apart the bed that was in the guest room so they could bring their bed here.

Their lamps, in place.

Now, their bathroom. I am so glad we have a bathroom with each bedroom. It makes it much nicer for either guests or people living here:):):) All my African decor is packed away. Maybe I will change things up when they go to their new house???

The truck arrived after the guys packed all the furniture etc.

Their bed, dresser and office furniture is coming in here. Tracy and Dave each work from home a day or 2 per week.

LOL, poor Joe looks confused:):) he wasn't, maybe just a little overwhelmed!

Their dresser, in place. It actually looks nice with the shelving unit that Joe built.

Nice, COMFY bed. Much better than what we have in here! I haven't gotten a shot of their beautiful linens, maybe I can sneak in there on day:):)

Yesterday Tarcy and I went back to the old house to CLEAN it. The renter is moving in today!!! I am so grateful that it is a good friend of Tracy and Dave's, so we know she will take GOOD care of it. She is a neat freak too:):)

The living room is clean..... and empty.......

One more box to go...

The table is gone....

the counters are clean.....

It is time to go. I left before Tracy so she could do the floors as she backed out! I also figured she might want to be alone to leave. She did say last night at dinner it was a little sad to leave. I remember when Joe and I moved out of our first TINY house, it was bittersweet. They have a whole lifetime ahead of them and I feel blessed to be ablt to share this happy time with them.
