Well, now it's 6 days..

We were able to move up the move date to Monday April 3rd - so, we will have the movers load us up and be on the road on Monday. We expect to make it back to Idaho no later than Friday April 7th.

On a side note - I've been working on our company websites. I'd like some input from you all... our main site is here, one of our secondary sites is here and our management site is here. I've just thrown up a splash page on the management site so there really isn't anything to look at there. The secondary site I'll be uploading a makeover to sometime this week before we hit the road.

NINE DAYS!

Nine days and we leave for Idaho. It sure is coming up fast!! So much to do.. between packing, finishing work on the house required by city, making sure everything is done for the move, Chuck working hard on his licensing (real estate), closing on the house, getting stuff moved from storage to the house, yikes but it's going to be one crazy week!

NYC

Yesterday we spent our 'last' day in NYC - it was bittersweet... a city we love so much and visit regularly.

We took the boys to the top of the Empire State Building (pic coming soon)

And then took them to Lion King. I have to say, until the Lion King moves to it's new theater, the best seats in the house are definitely Front Mezzanine - Center. We had 2nd Row Orchestra Center yesterday and you lost a lot of the effects of the show sitting there (not to mention it's the 'dead' zone as far as sound goes).

Checking out new software


I bought a digital scrapbooking software and I'm testing it... what do you think??

Interesting Thoughts

Well, the buyers of our car came by today and picked it up. It is a wake up call that we are leaving in less than 4 weeks. It just seems so far out but it's coming so fast! Can't wait to see everyone we've missed in Idaho!

Talk about WOW!

We put our car on the market - first person to see it bought it (full price). We put our house on the market, SIX HOURS after it went in the MLS we had a showing, less than 12 hours later we had a FULL PRICE offer - closing March 31st allowing us to stay until April 6th. Talk about a DREAM offer!!

WE ARE MOVING BACK TO IDAHO!!! WHOO HOO!!

Things are coming along nicely - Chuck is working on his Real Estate license, we are still finishing up little projects around the house and, the packing has begun of course!

We have a move date...

We will be leaving Pennsylvania on April 6th and expect to arrive in Idaho on April 10th or 11th. We MAY move our date up to March 30th or 31st, it depends entirely upon when the movers are available to come pick up our possessions and when our home in Idaho is available for us to move into. We expect to have a firm date this coming week.

Things are crazy around here... we've been working on the house for the past couple of weeks because it goes up on the market on Monday... but it seems like a never ending project! So many things to do! Painting, painting and more painting and packing, packing and more packing.

We are all so excited to be moving back home! We've had to keep quiet since Christmas because we didn't want to alarm Chuck's employer (yes, his colleagues check out this website once-in-a-while) but as of yesterday Chuck is FREE! Now, I have help to get things done - YEAH!!!

Christina's Favorite Movie

My favorite movie just came out on DVD - I was SO excited when Chuck brought it home for me the other night.... I am a fan of P&P and Jane Austen and loved the 1995 version starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. In my opinion, the 2005 version of P&P (otherwise known as PP3) is the best adaptation of the book to date. Joe Wright, the director, did an excellent job of capturing Lizzie's conflict and the chemistry between the two characters throughout the movie. Great movie!
