The Only Bad Decision was not Doing This Sooner!



When we moved into this little house we call home 7 years ago, we set everything up pretty much the way the previous owners had theirs set up. Bedrooms the same...office the same...TV room the same..."sitting room" the same...and recently, I started questioning why. I'm not sure why we did it. It just seemed to work. With Patrick and all the things that come with him, we've found recently that it wasn't working so well for us anymore. I'd been running the idea through my head, how to set things up in the front room, where to put things in our old living room, what would it look like, how would it work, all those questions that go along with such a big move.



When I was a kid, we never moved rooms...save for when my grandfather passed away and my brother got the great room, and I got his room as the other half of mine...but still, I never actually moved rooms, my room just grew in size. The very idea of switching up rooms bewilders me, even though so many people do it all the time.



Tonight, we took it upon ourselves to manifest this big old move. I borrowed the good drill from Neighbor Carl, along with a big old drill bit, and did the deed: A new hole for the cable - right through our floor! There was no turning back. Joe helped me move everything, cleaning in between all those crevices that never get cleaned. Two and a half hours later, we've swapped up our rooms!

It feels weird..but interesting! I think tomorrow morning, when Patrick gets up, this whole set up is just about going to blow his little mind! In the meantime, my tired bones are headed to bed!
