The following day, we went to our condo to clean. Maryann took Annie to the mall, while James and I cleaned the place from top to bottom. Dusting, vacuuming, washing, scrubbing, clearing out. You name it, we cleaned it! We were able to deliver the keys to the realtor by 3:00pm, which couldn't have come sooner, as we were once again tired from the weekend. That night was spent hanging curtains, organizing rooms, and spending a few minutes relaxing and enjoying our new home.
On Tuesday, James returned to work, and I ran errands. A trip to Costco, Sobeys, and Home Depot turned into an entire day of running around. The evening was no less restful, as we were both completing tasks around the house that needed to be done. James' commute has increased from 25 minutes from our condo to downtown, to 45 minutes from our new place. He says that he's willing to sacrifice a long commute for a quiet neighbourhood, which is something we didn't have before.
Yes, we will take time to sit down and spend time together as a family. Moving is a busy and hectic time, but some things can wait. We've finished most of the important items, and are hoping to take it easy over the next couple of days. As we get more settled, we're looking forward to having friends and family visit our new place. With the large kitchen, I'll even cook!
