Recycling Bins Ordered!

I don't have a huge announcement to make or incredible update, so I thought I'd share the little things we've been accomplishing this week as we prepare for our move:

Transferring cable - it's been a bigger pain than we thought since we were hoping to keep our current bill, but alas, of course it's more. Fingers crossed they can come and install on Sunday! In the meantime, we're thinking we'll only be keeping cable through the baseball season and then get rid of it. We don't watch enough channels to make it worth it. We have a our 5 channels we cycle through: ESPN, HGTV, Food Network, ION, and then basic cable like ABC, NBC and CBS. So come Fall, it will probably be gone.

Recycling Bins - I ordered those through MoCo this morning. I should have done it earlier this week but it really just got away from me. Oh well, we'll have PLENTY of boxes to put our recycling in until then!!

Speaking of boxes... Packing - UGH! We ran out of boxes so when I go to pick up the car tonight at my parents' house, I'll be picking up even more boxes. We realized that the last time we moved, we didn't have all of the big appliances that we received for the wedding. So those take up a lot of space. And, really, it's both of our stuff this time instead of just one person. It hasn't been dreadful though like packing usually is because quite frankly,  this is a very exciting move. It's our own home, and we know we won't be moving again in a year, so it's been a little more manageable. We also know that we have more space to put things so it's not all in the living room like it was in our apartment. AND, we have two more weeks before we officially have to be out of our apartment, so if need be, which there probably will be, we'll come back to the apartment and grab the things that we couldn't take. "Aren't you hiring movers?" you ask. Yes, we are. But since we've run out of boxes, and there are a couple of things we're taking ourselves, we may need to come back.

Anyhow, fingers crossed we get the settlement email from the Title company sooner rather than later today, letting us know what our final balance is. Our Realtor (my grandmother) mentioned yesterday that she's only come across this once or twice, that the Title company waits until the last minute to send over the information. Usually she has it 2-3 days before settlement. It's making us nervous, no doubt, because we need to be able to pull out that money out before EOD, because there is not much time between our re-walk tomorrow morning and Settlement. So, keep you fingers and toes crossed for us too!!

We have lots planned for this weekend after we move, so I'll be sure to post some pictures throughout the process!!
