A new Blog Title and a new Blog Look
Today starts the week of our move to Colorado. I thought I'd start with a little bit of a fresh look with a new Blog Title and a (slightly) new Blog Look.
We had four parties last week. All involved goodbyes. One involved my knitter girls, some you can see above (that's Suzanne, owner of Knitting in La Jolla on MY couch! With my friend Lisa next to her, and Yoly closest to you in the picture.)
So tomorrow is Monday and we are starting the packing process. This is big folks. Really big. The pressure is on. In fact, The Man, is actually showing some stress. This is a guy who laughs by smiling, who loves me with a pat on the back, who lets things roll off his back without a second thought. The Man isn't sleeping, and is looking obsessivly at the photos of the house that I bought without him.
My Christmas Cactus has bloomed. That brings in the hummingbirds. That is the one plant that I'm bringing with us to Denver.
Ok, so look for more details later. The time line is this:
Monday= The new buyers do their walk through.
Tuesday= We pack the stuff we want to take in our car.
Wednesday= The movers come and pack up the house.
Thursday=The movers are still packing.
Friday= The big semi comes and all of our stuff is loaded up and driven away.
Saturday= We drive away from San Diego, and into our new life.
Whew, just a few things going on.
I'll be updating though, and that's all she wrote. (for tonight)
Wow, thats a big move. My in-laws are from San Diego so I know you are leaving a beautiful place... and yet I am sure that there is a beautiful place in Colorado being prepared for you!

We made the move from Lompoc to Colorado Springs in January of 1992 with 2 small children, 2 birds and a cat and Dana is right it is a big move. I think and hope that you love it here. I'm sipping coffee and looking out at the snow covered mountains, truly it is a beautiful place. Welcome.

Sorry I missed the fun on Friday! It seems everyone is either leaving San Diego or talking about leaving. Good thing we have the blogs to keep us updated all on the doings. Hope your move goes painlessly well. Oh, and have I mentioned....DON'T GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

This is going to be a busy busy week and I hope it all goes well for you. My husband is very similar. Most everything rolls off his back so when he gets stressed I know it's a big event.

Moving is so stressfull! Hopefully you'll find a couple of minutes to knit or do something else relaxing during the process so that you don't get too stressed out.

Like the new blog look. We will miss you! Be careful with that Christmas Cactus when you move it, as they are sensitive to changes in temperature.
