My wife and I have been renting ever since we met and frankly, I'm sick of it. It really isn't the idea of renting I dislike, after all if anything ever happened to the place we are not the ones shelling out copious amounts of money for repairs, but I am tired of moving every year or two. Packing and unpacking, never really getting settled anywhere.
But now, we have a house of our own (as scary as that may seem). We will be getting the keys on June 23 and I can't wait. It is very exciting but now we have to pack up one more time. The only solace in this is that it will be our last move for at least five years and likely longer. It is going to seem like a mansion to us too after the place we're in now, a very small 2 bedroom bungalow that has a main room that is 12' by 6' (it looked bigger when we looked at it). Our house has 3 bedrooms with one in the basement and has 2-storeys, lots of stairs for the cat. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the house to show but I did find a nice picture of a lighthouse so it adds colour to this post.
So now the dilemma is how to move. We have two choices, hire a moving company to do the move or get some friends to help us move. Either way we are still stuck with the worst part of moving, packing all our junk into little boxes. Let the fun begin!

I love it...you're a great friend! Lighthouses are my favourite...they're so warm and friendly; and they help bring people home.
My opinion: I'd hire the moving company. It'll cause you such fewer headaches. Take the time to pack your stuff and get them to take care of it for you. YOu'll have to shell out a few more dollars, but you'll have more time to spend on enjoying your new home.
Let me know if you need help moving...I'll be glad to help. Of course, I'll have to find out how to get up there; and if I'm not working....details; details!
