I gleefully write this update from my new mini-office in our apartment in Las Colinas, enjoying a blazingly fast cable internet connection and the comfort of my black office chair. We moved the last box out of the house today and emptied our storage unit. Right now the apartment and our garage (not to mention my parents’ van, which I still need to unload one more time) look like the random chaos of matter that slowly merge into stars. Boxes, papers, and STUFF are everywhere. Sometimes I enter our new home and see more stuff, as if it reproduced during my absence. Other times a recognizable object, such as a sofa or bookshelf, becomes visible through the chaos. We have family coming over this weekend, and we have two days to make this place presentable! Last night I had a short moment of sadness as we packed up most of the remaining belongings from the house. It was a great house, and we’ll carry many great memories from there as well as some difficult ones. It served us very well, and I hope the new occupants enjoy it as much as we did. We’re also scheduled to close on the house tomorrow morning. The buyers have already signed their paperwork, so it looks like all systems are go.
