This is week 4 of me participating in Stream of Consciousness Sunday with Fadra from All Things Fadra.
So, um, I moved.
Who Moves In Less Than 10 Days?
visitutah.com
The last time we moved we went from Utah (near Salt Lake City) to the greater DC Metro area. We moved to a small town near Harpers Ferry, WV about an hour outside of DC.
We took almost 5 months to find a house, pack, and get our family ready to go. We had 10 going away parties, and multiple dinner, lunch, & breakfast dates to say goodbye to friends. I gave 4 months notice at my job, and took my time cleaning out our house by having 2 yard sales, numerous trips to DI (which is Utah’s Goodwill), and getting a HUGE construction dumpster delivered to put into our driveway so we could get rid of big stuff.
This time we made the decision on a Thursday and moved the following Friday. We still got the house cleaned out, still got rid of all of the furniture that we no longer needed/wanted, and still made numerous trips to Goodwill. Luckily, at this time I work from home so there was no notice to give.
But back to my original question: Who moves in less than 10 days.
I do.
When it comes to positive attributes I think that being willing to jump at a chance and try something new is on my list. Just because this chance brought us back to a place that we already knew is just a big bonus.
When we lived in Utah before I wanted to move and show my kids a different part of the country. I wanted them to see and experience something new, so we did it. I met a bunch of great ladies thanks to this blog of mine and I will miss seeing them at all of our fun events. We traveled all over the east coast and had a great time doing different things and meeting different people.
But it is always nice to come home. It really is beautiful here.
This was my 5 minute Stream of Consciousness Sunday post. It’s five minutes of your time and a brain dump. Want to try it? Here are the rules…
- Set a timer and write for 5 minutes.
- Write an intro to the post if you want but don’t edit the post. This is writing in the raw.
- Publish it somewhere. Anywhere. The back door to your blog if you want. But make it accessible.
- Link back to this post (feel free to use the SOC Sunday graphic).
- Add your post to the link up.
- Visit your fellow bloggers and show some love.

February 8, 2015 20:59I imagine it is beautiful there. I’ve only driven on the outskirts of Charleston – so whatever hwy that was. I thought it was neat how the towns we passed by where like “down” in valleys. Wow to 10 going away parties!

February 8, 2015 23:45We had 10 going away parties because we had been living there for over 12 years and had several different jobs so several different groups of friends. It is so beautiful!
