6 weeks and 16 days

Today marks 6 weeks until Carol and Will come home! We cannot wait! I've dubbed it the Stoddard Summer '09 since it will pretty much be a party from late June through July. In 16 days we'll offically move into our new house, which is making me feel a bit overwhelmed since all we've done as far as packing goes is to unload our old stuff that was in the storage trailer:

We've been so focused on our new house, getting repairs taken care of, painting, floors, landscaping, etc., I forgot that our stuff won't magically appear there when it's all done. I'm going to need to start packing, but I don't know where to start. So, I'm going to procrastinate yet another day and think about what I'll miss at this gorgeous house.

#1 - The central vacuum system. I LOVE IT! I don't know what I'll do without it, but one day, I vow to have it again.
#2 - The basement. A room where the mess can build, but you don't see it and they can be as loud as they want, but you don't have to hear it - fabulous!
#3 - The laundry room. It's huge, maybe that's why I only did laundry about once a week, because I could just keep piling it in there.
#4 - The three fridges and four freezers. What will I do without my beverage fridge, breakfast fridge and lunch and dinner fridge? So sad.

And #5 - The neighborhood. The trees and birds are amazing down here. I love how lush it all is.

I know there's more that I'll realize as we move and live without, but I'm excited to move one and see what I love about our new house. I know one thing already - we only have three bathrooms instead of five to clean. Yippee!
