I Will Never Move Again. Ever.
So, it's been a minute since I last made a blog post. In a nutshell, here's why:
1. Titanic-sized Day Job project (complete with a few disasters, but we all survived)
2. MAJOR book stuff (more on that in a sec)
3. I, uh, moved without intending to.
About that third thing. There is this house that's very near to where I lived that the Mr. and I have always swooned over. It's gorrrrrrrgeous. Of course, when we moved to our town, it was firmly not on the market. But the Mr. always said, "If that house ever goes up for sale, we're going to buy it." And I laughed, because it is SO close to the other place that it seemed crazy.
You get where I'm going here, right?
At the end of April, The House went on the market. And I just so happened to be running by EXACTLY as the agent was putting up the sign. So I texted the Mr. and said "Haha, your house is for sale."
And we went and looked at it. And we fell in looooove with it. And we have a rock star agent of our own who made unicorn magic happen...
And we bought the house, sold our other house, and moved in two weeks ago.
I am here to tell you that unexpectedly moving is a lot. There were tears. There were sore muscles. There were trips to the dump. Trips to Goodwill. More trips to the dump. But slowly, slowly, we got the boxes packed, moved, and unpacked (all in the midst of That Massive Day Job Project, during which I worked 12-hour days for about a month). We are over the moon thrilled with the new house, and the teens and the pups are all adjusting happily.
I did bump the re-release of the Cross Creek books (remember, we going to talk about that book stuff) from July to August because of all the insanity, but you can look for those on August 3. Each book will get a super fun new epilogue, as well as a sexy new cover. We'll talk all about those in my very next post.
But, in the meantime, tell me! Have you ever moved? And how did it go? Was it local, like mine, or did you go far? And did you take a lot of trips to the dump, too (was that just me?!) Tell all, my reader darlings!
