Moving Day Closes In

They’re heeeeere…The Movers!
Actually the packers are here today. Movers are tomorrow.
Everything is going smoothly except one peculiar aspect.
All our friends and family have gone mysteriously AWOL?
How can that be? Where on earth is everyone??
I’ve texted, called and emailed you all! Has early September become the new get-away time?
Truth be known, I’d be cryptically out of town if friends or family contacted me around (or on!) their moving day.
Kidding, I didn’t try to reach anyone.
Who would do that?
Anyone who has ever moved knows it is the most dreaded, uprooting event one can endure in a lifetime.
Moving could break up a family! NOT kidding.
Growing up, one (at least one!) of the bazillion coast to coast moves my family made nearly busted up my parents marriage. Geographical change yanks on nerves, patience and commitment, bar none!
After all the angst and worry over moving [twice] after 33 years in the same house, I’m surmising that my parents stayed married for 73 years because they endured and survived move after move after move after move...
If your marriage can survive 10+ long distance (or short distance) moves, your marriage probably has the wherewithal to cross the finish line.
The silver lining is, once you get past miserable packing, loading and hauling...unpacking and settling in is kinda fun??
For me, the worst part is just thinking too much about "what if"!!
Jeff and I thought we’d be settled in to the darn new house by May ‘25 at the latest.
Wishful thinking!
I also thought we’d be hosting a housewarming party by July ‘25.
Ya, sure. Way wishful thinking.
If we’re still married after tomorrow and we ever do get a housewarming party on the books, I hope y'all will attend!!
SO! Our two-bedroom condo is all packed up. Now, all we have to do is lay awake waiting for the sun to come up tomorrow.
Speaking of our two-bedroom Buckhead condo in the Astoria building on Peachtree Road.
She’s For Sale!
If you happen to know anyone who may be interested in purchasing this little jewel give us a shout.
The location and layout is absolutely supreme:
2233 Peachtree Road, NE, Suite 503, 30309.
The view faces beautiful greenery to the west and also faces slightly north toward Buckhead’s iconic skyline. There is a 24-hour concierge that is top notch and the shared amenities (gym, common area, lobby, pool, etc.) are immaculate and professionally maintained. There is also a lovely guest suite ($100/night) for out-of-town company desiring private space.
We don’t have it officially priced as of yet but will land in the 600k vicinity.
Thank you for reading!
Love, Shelley
