| Backyard Sunset - Colorado |
But all good things do come to an end.
Mr. Collector accepted a job transfer in September and I've been the trailing spouse working on the move.
We bought a wonderful new home in Minneapolis in October and sold the Colorado house.
Fast forward to today - the packers have started.
We are usually a three day pack and two day load. It's a 51 foot semi trailer in front of the house that will drive the household to Minnesota.
This is somewhere around move number 8 for us. We have had good and very bad experiences with movers. Our worst was the theft of the majority of our household goods from the trailer while it was in transit. Fortunately we have always been good 'documenters'. We had a full household inventory including photos. The claim was still a lot of work and we don't want to ever go through that again. We are hoping for a better experience this time!
Wish us luck, my next post should be from the new house later in November!
I hope to share photos of my new studio and quilt storage space.
Happy Stitching,
Dawn

Oh, wow! You have moved a lot! Sorry we will no longer be "neighbors". The chance of meeting up with you now is so very slim. I had hopes while you were in Colorado.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your surroundings when you have settled into your new digs.
Safe travels to you!
Safe journey Dawn...all of us here in Wisconsin are happy to have you as our neighbor! How exciting to plan out a new, wonderful sewing studio - looking forward to your photos.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your move!
ReplyDeleteI hope this move goes better than all the others and that you get settled in to your new home quickly and comfortably.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do wish you good luck on your move. I do understand the stress, the documentation of everything and the headache a move can be. We move 7 times in 10 years. We had to move when my second son was a week old (didn't do much on that move and the new place was three street down so it was easy) and we moved again when second son was 51 weeks old. Yep, twice in his first year! We are still at this last place though, 19 years and counting. So, yes good luck and may it be a very pleasant one. ;^0
ReplyDeleteI hope your move goes well! I look forward to hearing about and seeing your new sewing space in your new home.
ReplyDeleteMy next move will be #30, so I totally get the apprehension. Here's to an EASY move!
ReplyDeleteWow! 30 is an amazing number of moves. Bless you!!
DeleteGood wishes for a smooth move. Glad you will be closer to the east coast!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed by people like you who have made a science of moving. I've been stationary for 27 years. I can't imagine having your possessions stolen. Minneapolis in the winter...hmmm...you are quite a trooper.
ReplyDeleteO my! You have moved a lot of times! I love the Rockies! Minneapolis is something different! I hope you will feel,yourself at home soon there too. I have a cousin in Coon Rapids, she I Dutch too, I love that area! Good luck with moving!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your move and the new adventure in your new home town. I look forward to seeing your new place and area.

ReplyDeleteWishing you a good move without any trouble and hope you will feel at home in your new house and neighbourhood soon!

ReplyDeleteGood luck on your move!! Hello Minnesota!! You will be in Reproduction Fabric territory, and some great shops. I was going to say Primitive Gatherings ( but another state!!).
ReplyDeleteOh Dawn I can't believe you have been there for 4 years. I always hoped to get to Colorado to see you and the Rocky Mountain museum. Good luck with your move and in your new home. I shall look forward to seeing a photo of your new home.

Good luck with it all. Can't imagine 8 moves! Are you happy to be going home to Minnesota?
ReplyDeleteHope your move goes smoothly and you are happy in your new home!
ReplyDeleteHope to meet up soon in the Midwest! Safe travels and Happy Unpacking!
ReplyDeleteI am in the midst of a move too, yeow what a headache. Then you get to unpack and find everything, no matter what is written on the box, it doesn't always get where it should.
ReplyDeleteWe will miss you here, but you have new adventures waiting for you.
ReplyDeleteSucces with the move, it is stress but once everything is at the new location and unpacking starts the worst should be over. Greetings
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all the things concerning to moving to Minnesota! Hope that it all will go very smoothly. Keep thinking of your new sewing room, and all the other benefits of your new house and place, Dawn!
ReplyDeleteoh don't worry about responding to comments, lol..just know we are all wishing you luck and success and moving-survival :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck & stay warm. Enjoy the "inaccessible" world. The noise starts soon enough. Take care & enjoy beautiful MN.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move! Can't believe you were in CO for 4 years, time sure does fly! Hope you love your new home!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on the move and blessings in your new home.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best in your new house. Your creations will make it home!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of moving! I do not envy you the job, but seems you're well prepared to face it all again. Best wishes on getting set up in your new home quickly and without drama!
