It’s Really Real Now
June 26, 2009
It’s official I REALLY am moving. I’ve been talking about it so long I didn’t really think the day would come. But alas bright and early this was delivered to my doorstep…
The husband was REALLY excited. (note: he always gives the thumbs up in pictures, it’s his "thing")
I spend most of the day packing and going through stuff. Ugh! THANKFULLY, this afternoon, a friend came over and helped moved most of our major pieces of furniture in the POD.
Then it was run to the bank… get the toddler at school… go to Goodwill… and, of course, out to dinner! I was actually going to cook but the husband convinced me otherwise. So we went to Outback. It was nice. The child (notice the context) was on his best behavior. We played, we talked, we laughed and of course we ate. I got the salmon with veggies (no butter) and the toddler got the kids grilled chicken and a plain sweet potato. We shared, swapping sweet potato and veggies and it was a great meal! We didn’t have to but we decided to get desert. I’m not sure if you are aware but you can get a sample portion of any desert there for half the price. It was the PERFECT size and the 3 of us split it. :) Although, I still felt a little overstuffed.
Right now the toddler is up and freaking out that there is a fly in his room. The husband is packing up loose ends and I’m taking a break. We have a little more planning to do on getting everything in the POD and I want to tidy up some of the random things I have laying about.
I’ll be back tomorrow night with an update and the winners of the book giveaway. There’s a lot going on but blogging/journaling helps me stay grounded a bit.
Oh! and I did get a 4 mile run in this morning. As of now my marathon training isn’t perfect but I’m doing what I can when I can!
Oh! Oh! here’s a shot of the new house from this afternoon. I’m not sure why it’s so small. My camera phone is acting up. As the frame goes up I’ll get better shots.
OK, gotta run before the husband gets mad at me for procrastinating. :)

Glad to hear from you to know you are still kicking!
Seeing your run just now even motivated me… the heat here is killing me.. and I think I rebroke my toe last night… Why oh why?!

so i am insanely curious…is it more expensive to build or buy?

Depends on the area.. market.. etc. etc. For us the location of this community was exactly where we wanted to be and the price was competitive to the houses on the market that were older (of course.)
(plus.. I didn’t marry a “handy” guy. So houses that need some work aren’t really an option for us. We’d spend more money on contractors!)

Not sure if this is new or not so much – but I like the ‘new’ 2009 photo on your banner – you look great!

Glad you have the blogging and running to keep yourself grounded. I think 4 miles is great with all you have going on! I LOVE Outback’s salmon and its usually what I get too, along with veggies no butter. I only wish I could make salmon like that. Mine never taste as good! Thanks for the dessert tip. Had no idea but we are sure to use that and save some calories! Have a good night!

Wow Roni, you have so much going on right now and you still make time for yourself and run!!!
You’ve motivated me to quit the excuses and get out for a run today-I’ve been letting my running go. But not today!!
Have a great day!!

Hi Roni,
I love hearing about the toddler and bugs. I can still laugh thinking about one of your cooking videos where the toddler comes inside and says that he is scared because there is a bug outside (I think it was a fly but I don’t remember). It is super cute.

Hahaha! Tell your dear toddler that I am a fly-killer! I just killed 7 flies today!

Congratulations! And, a quick note, we built too and the house always looks small when you are just looking at the slab like that. We were convinced they got the house wrong, but it worked out in the end. :o) So exciting!
