A few weeks ago we got a contract to sell our 30 acres+ house. We had been trying to sell for about a year and a half, so to finally have a serious offer was exciting! After we accepted the offer, we starting packing. It wasn't until we starting packing that we realized how much stuff we had! We took countless loads to Goodwill and a local thrift shop!
As we got closer to the moving date, I realized more and more how much I was going to miss our home and land.
Our blueberry bushes were loaded this year, and we would miss picking them!
Our fruit tress promised to have a great yield this year!
I was going to miss having the garden to pick fresh veggies from!
Even though I was sad to leave our old home, I was excited for the changes ahead! On moving week, we rent a U-Haul truck and, with help from some friends and family, we loaded it full with things to take to our new house!
My little brother was quite impressed with the dinosaur on the side of the truck!
I'm not sure we could fit one more thing on that truck! After we had loaded the truck, we spent a few nights in our empty house to do some last minute cleaning.
I was kind of fun, camping out in my room, but I missed my bed!
Finally, on Moving Day, we loaded up in our vehicles( A U-Haul and a suburban pulling my Dad's FJ Cruiser) and left our old house! It was sad to know that we were leaving that house for the last time, but exciting to know what was ahead!
When we got to our new house, it was raining! Thankfully we had some great help and we got the truck unloaded in under two hours!
Our new dining room was full of boxes!
I was glad to sleep in my bed again! So much better than the floor!
One of the first things I unpacked were the coffee and tea pots! Gotta have my coffee in the mornings!
My view went from a pond, some trees and space to houses, neighbors, and empty lots!
We bought a house outside Nashville, TN in a nice neighborhood. I haven't lived in a neighborhood for a while, so it will take some getting used to!
Now that we have moved, we are closer to a lot of things like shopping, groceries, and so on. Before we lived 45 mins to anything and now we can be to a Lowe's in under 10 mins! Its crazy :)
Also, we will get to spend more time together as a family since my Dad has to be in Nashville for work quite a bit and before he was travelling back and forth and now he can come home at night!
We still have a few boxes to unpack, beds to put together and organizing to do, but we have officially moved in and are adjusting to suburban life! Hopefully now that we are more or less settled, I can get back to regular healthy lifestyle posts!

That's really exciting Hannah! I think it's cool that you took some of your garden with you :)
