I started packing the other day, sort of last minute...typical Stephanie, for the move into our new house. As I was putting boxes together (while listening to my future husbands Jimi cds, not my iPod) it occurred to me...I have moved so many times the sound of packing tape (you know, rrrrrrip) no longer bothers Titus.
I moved to Greenville SC for college, then back to North Augusta in 2003. Then I lived in Charleston for a few years before moving back to Augusta. In September of 2007 I gladly moved back to the coast, Wilmington NC.
Titus used to run and hide when the tape even appeared, now not so much. He just laid on the coffee table (even though he knows I hate that) and watched me pack.
Momma came up on Sunday to help move, clean, all those great things moms do. She also brought all 4 of her foster children with her (aged 1-6). It's been a crazy, stressful week so far. The 6 of us are staying at The Little House now. I can't wait to have The Pope there with me.
My sister, Samantha, came up to visit, too. She drove up from Statesboro GA just to see her big sister.
I am looking forward to cooking in the kitchen, getting settled, and letting the dogs play in the backyard. They love it!

BOLO
BOLO (bo-lo) in police lingo is Be On the LookOut (sure you know this).
Carlene and I have sent emails back and forth with lists of things The Pope and I will need to make our new house a home, or just plain livable. I wanted to share the comprehensive list with all of y'all just in case anyone of you have perfectly good not-currently-being-used junk lying around. Or you might just get a kick out of seeing what kind of stuff we're going to decorate with.
By the way, never ask The Pope to stop the car so you can pick perfectly good not-currently-being-used junk off the side of the road. He gets really embarrassed for some reason and will leave you there with the stuff.
So here's our list....
3 or 4 barstools (2 for bar, 2 for blue high table)
2ish nice (non-particleboard-y) bookcases
masculine 4 post bed (like pic from World Market)
dresser with mirror (non matching mirror is ok too)
jute area rug
desk and chair
outdoor furniture (table and 4 chairs)
porch swing
2 chairs for "sitting area" in master bedroom
grill
You might be thinking, "why do two kids just starting out need outdoor furniture or a grill?" Well, again, I just want to put our list of "dream furniture" out there into blog space.....you never know what might come back.
