On the move...

Phew... it's been another busy month, not at work this time, but on the home front.  Earlier this year, we decided to sell our house, find a bigger, newer house, and move closer to 婆婆.  All of May, we gave our house a deep cleaning and moved a bunch of stuff to storage.  By the end of May, we officially put it on the market.  Unexpectedly, a nice family wanted to buy it on the first day!  Last Friday, we made settlement and officially handed over all of our keys to the new owners.  Everything turned out as it should, except that we were unable to find an ideal house to move to.   So, as we packed up everything, we rented another storage unit for stuff we didn't really need and moved everything else into an apartment.

Baby Bunny has been spending the weekday at 婆婆's house.  The apartment is closer to her house and better for the therapy sessions.  During the nights and weekends though, Bun Bun roams around in the apartment.  I think she's happy as a clam because she actually has more places to explore.  Her typical routine is to go into her little room and take an inventory of all of her books.  One by one, she flips through them and tosses them aside.  Then, she opens the big drawer with her clothes and pulls out her shirts.

We are actively looking for an ideal house to buy and reestablish our roots.  The housing market is very slow during the summer time since people are on vacation.  We're hoping things will pick up in September.  We have seen some good homes, but there's always something that makes it not so great.  Some abut highways and busy roads.  Some have high maintenance yards.  Some sit below street-level and may have flooding problems.  Some are in not so nice neighborhoods.  So, we keep looking and waiting...
