One Move Down, One Move To Go

Since this past Thursday we have technically had in our possession 3 apartments.  The movers came on Friday to move my stuff to the new place.  The move went well. We have a detached garage at the new place which is where we'll be storing some items we still want but won't use in the new place.  My glass table dining set is being kept in the garage as we plan on using it in our house some day. I gave away so much stuff that there were few "big" items that made the trip.  My TV stand and the bed for the spare room were the main items going other than boxes of personal items.  I also kept my dresser drawer set and nightstand.  I got rid of a lot of my kitchen stuff but I likely should have gotten rid of all of it so we can simply start new.  We received so many wonderful wedding gifts for the kitchen especially, we could start fresh in that area for sure.

We went back to my place yesterday to finish up the last few things.  I turned in my keys yesterday afternoon.  Whew!  So glad to be done with my place.  Now we are down to 2 apartments: Brad's place and the new place.  The plan is to pack up Brad's place over the course of this coming week.  The next moving day is scheduled for next Saturday.  By this time next week we will be waking up in our new place for the first time.  I can hardly wait.  I'm ready for all this moving to be done! We both are!

I must say though I am questioning whether storing some of the items we chose to store is the right decision.  Because once we do get a house are those items going to be what we want to have in the house?  We have 2 dining sets.  We will be using Brad's at the new place and storing mine.  But our home someday might have a fomal dining room and in that case my dining set is not going to look right.  Same goes for my dresser drawer set and nightstand.  I wanted to keep those two items for our kid someday but they are from when I was born so they don't match anything that is out on the market today.  When we do have a kid aren't we going to want the furniture to match the crib we choose?  Like I said I'm questioning whether or not we have more items to get rid of.
