Double Packing!!!

For the past week we have been packing. Well actually we have been double packing...I'll explain.

Chris and I have been housing hunting in Reno, NV for the past few months. That is where we both went to college and where I was born and raised. We both decided that one day we would like to move back to the "Biggest Little City in the World" and with houses prices so low, now seemed liked as good of a time as any. Unfortunately, we haven't found our dream home yet and we have just 10 days until we are heading down to Arizona for spring training! After a lot of long talks and glasses of wine we decided to just pack up our entire condo in Dublin and move it to a storage unit in Reno before we leave. That way if we find a house in the middle of the season, everything will already be up there and it gives us the option of renting out our condo in Dublin full time!

We were a little worried about finding a renter on such short notice, but that was the easy part! I went to high school with our realtor's daughter and she just happened to be moving to our area with her fiancé. They two of them came and saw our condo and signed a year lease!! We couldn't believe it...sometimes God can really put people in your life at the right time. Check that one off the list!

Back to the double packing...so we have to pack up the house and pack up the things we need for spring training. It has been a little tricky keeping everything separated so we designated a spring training only room within the house. So everything we are taking with us in our truck to AZ is in one room and everything else that we are packing into the U-Haul is in the rest of the house. It has been an exhausting couple of weeks but we are almost done. Thank goodness!!!

While we are so sad to say good bye to Dublin, our first home and all our friends in California we are excited for the next chapter in our life. Wish us luck in our house hunting!
