I am back??

Okay well moving day came and went. I have been to Wyoming to move and paint. And back here to San Diego to paint and paint and clean and paint and unpack, unpack,unpack and did I mention unpack.
Our backyard and garage were floor to ceiling BOXES

I still haven't finished my garage/studio, actually yesterday I was really wishing I had a hobby/job that required less stuff. Seriously it will be another week before I am unpacked and a few weeks more before I am organized in that  area. Fabric and crafts are little and big and hard to organize, no? 
Our very selfless friends came over Friday night, to bring us dinner and didn't leave until 7:00pm last night. Everyone needs these kind of friends. But they are hard to find let me tell you. My family is very blessed to know them.
Okay so except for the studio and backyard, we are pretty much done, oh and the kitchen (wallpaper removal ugg). But  we are having a VERY LARGE  garage sale  Saturday. Seriously someone  could  start  their own household with what we are selling.

And since we are on the topic of moving. My sister is trying to decide between San Diego and DC
she created a poll actually, So I thought I'd help her out by posting it here too, so vote :)

Where should Jackie live?

Well, I have decided to give up free will.  It's freeing actually.  I am moving in August and leaving it up to all of YOU to decide where I am going to move.  Wherever wins is where I go, so get voting:)

Where should Jackie move in August? 

San Diego, California
Washington D.C.

Unpacking, painting, arranging, rearranging
Hopefully  will be back  with a real post this weekend
Don't  give up on me :)

One very small house

Well slight and stressful change of plans, we bought a cute little actually very little home.
It was built in 1954 and is 3 miles from the beach. We have some big plans for it's future.
And we will not be moving again for a long time, trust me! The picture is lousy I took it from the listing. I will take better ones, when I go for inspections.  Our forth and smallest home, so much for the property ladder.

moving again and again...

Well our corporate housing  ends next month we have to be out by the end of February.  We still haven't sold our house. So we are going to  have to move into a rental home until that happens, then buy again. Not looking forward to this.... moving and moving again. Three times in 18 months.  Assuming that house sells by then?

Maybe she knows ?

At least we will have our stuff again. And trust me after five months without; it is nice to have your own stuff :) And a yard for the kids to play outside; even with the  record breaking cold temps.

 

We are here

Well we arrived to our furnished 900 sq foot condo last night. Unloaded the back of the van, had pizza  with friends. Then ran to Trader Joes for the essentials and crashed by 9:00.
I will try to get photos posted  tomorrow.

First Post

The count down to the move is 10 days. Now what to pack for three months, and a family of four.
