MOVING TIME!

Well last April we moved from Arizona to Texas. After filling two, yes two, ABF trailers with all of our "stuff", driving over two days with the alpacas in trailers behind us, we SWORE it would be "the last time we ever move!". Famous last words!
Jerry got a promotion and it included a moved to San Angelo, Texas. It was all prompted when I overheard his boss telling a salesman from San Angelo that he was looking for someone full-time for that area. I mentioned it to Jerry as he had said many times that SA was a nice town.
Well one thing led to another and Jerry got the position.
We couldn't find anything other than slums in our price range that had the acreage we were looking for and a habitable home for us. Problem is in Texas people that have land, have land. Want 1500 acres, easy, 150 many available, but 10-40 practically impossible.
Two weeks ago Jerry was down there, working, and had 2 hours to kill. It would mean an early long lunch for him. He bought the newspaper and went to Chic Fil A for lunch. Lo and behold, 10 acres and a house for sale, right in the area we were interested in. He called the realtor and met her an hour later. 1/2 an hour later he had made an offer on the property. Yes, even without me seeing it he knew it was right for us!
That was on Monday. On Thursday he took me down to see the place and yes he was right, I loved it! The owners for some reason wanted a really quick escrow and closing is today (Feb 21st) at 2pm, right at the time that Billy boy (Billary) is arriving in San Angelo for the election crap.
Well not being ones to sit on our laurels, we booked a moving company to come in and move us on 23rd, this coming Saturday. So, I've had 2 weeks to pack, clean, co-ordinate, do the utility thing. . . and everything else.
Because Jerry needs to do some cross fencing to accommodate the alpacas I am staying put in our current place until April 1st with the alpacas and Molly dog. I will move into the "guest house" and then the new owners will have access once we close on it.
Oh, I forgot to mention that the same week Jerry found our house someone came along (from word of mouth in the community) and made an offer on our current place. Talk about things falling into place!
So, we'll be in a new spot. They say SA is an artsy community - good for the gourds. They say it's very much a fiber community - great for my alpaca fiber. They say it has great restaurants - great for my figure! They say there's a bowling alley - Jerry misses bowling (or is it the beer?). And I know for a fact that there's some BIG thrift shops - wowee, more stuff!
It's going to be a busy, tiring weekend for us and I'm so stressed right now worrying that everything will fall into place. It will happen, I'm too organized not to have all my eggs in a row.
More later. . . . after the FINAL move. Oh heck, if we didn't do all this stuff with our life I'd have nothing to talk about!
