Well, not really so big…we moved just 15 minutes west of where we were. But, with all moves come lots and lots of details and, you know me:ย LISTS to get it all done!
We are now happily settled in our new home with a very short list of things left to do.
For a couple of weeks, we debated on whether it would make more sense to renoย our existing house to meet the needs not currently being met (more like nice-to-haves) or should we look at moving to a house that already has those desired items. We decided we didn’t have the space to renovate and achieve what we wanted, so a move was in our future.
As soon as a decision is made, I typically shift into an organizational tyrant dictator diva extraordinaireย to get things done as quickly and painlessly as possible. Hence all the lists and tendency towards military precision and flawless execution. I take no prisoners. ๐
But, honestly, I thrive on projects like this and truly enjoy coordinating all the details and timing things perfectly.
And here we are! ๐ Everything went fine with the packing, the pre-move renos, the actual move, the unpacking, all the move-related tasks, everything. We’re looking forward to making new memories in our new home, enjoying our new space,ย exploring our new neighborhood and learning about the differences between our old town (Mississauga, ON) and our new one (Oakville, ON). Crossed off a couple of life list items with this move too:
- Have my dream bedroom
- Have a walk-in shower
We’re planning on redoing the backyard in the spring to create our very own oasis with multi-level deck and outdoor living space – looking forward to that as well. ๐
Good times!
