Moving On Up!

If you follow me on Facebook and Twitter, you will know that we are moving! Onward and upward to bigger and better kitchens!


This is extremely exciting, as I have spent the last two years in a small kitchen. I do not want to complain, as these past two years were the ones where I learned to love my kitchen, and the magic that happens in it. But I have to admit that running out of room to roll dough, cool baked goods, plate meals and all that good stuff...was getting old.


I don't have a recipe to share or a restaurant review today, but maybe I can share with you the journey that my imagination and our marriage has taken, these past few weeks.


Remember how I said that I can be a little impulsive?


Well, mix that with my undying love for real estate, decor and change..and you have: 
the ongoing search for a new place
the sudden finding of a new place
the coercion of my husband to consider a new place and look at it
the intense moments of contacting the owner of said place before it was gone
the race to view the place
the luck of winning the owner's heart
the blessing of being able to leave our condo early
AND a month to pack, dream and MOVE! 


GO! GO! GO!


So far I have packed one box and clipped all good recipes from my magazines. We are halfway through the month, and two weeks away from moving day. OY


I have, however; mentally packed and unpacked our belongings...and imagined. I imagined where our furniture will go. I imagined the friends we will have over and the parties we will hold. I imagined my garden in the back yard. I imagined making loads of sugar cookies to decorate this Christmas-because I can! 


Our new house is very open concept. When you walk through the front door, the living area opens to a large eat-in kitchen with an L shaped counter-top. It has three bedrooms: One for us, an office for my husband and a ????? 


Here is the challenge: what in the world should we do with this third room? So far we do not have a child to put in it. We already have an office. We don't have any people who would stay there, and necessitate a guest room. We are perplexed! My husband wants a fooseball table room, and I want a vintage-chic sitting/reading/relaxation room. Any suggestions?


All in all, its been a busy month for us, and its about to get busier. Moving means packing and cleaning and sorting and calling people and...and...and...


And I can't wait. :)
