Please Stand By

We’ve got some serious moving in progress going on. We’re not sure when we’ll be able to check in again (heck, we’re not even sure what time we’re closing this afternoon- assuming it doesn’t get bumped to Tuesday) but we’ll stop in with more pics and info as soon as we can.

Moving Stand By Pic

Until then cross your fingers that my ceramic animal menagerie makes it to the new house in one piece and that we actually get to move in this afternoon as planned. We do plan to post some empty house pics of our first home (we figure you guys need closure just as much as we do) and of course share pics and even a quick video tour of the new house all empty and Petersik-ready when we finally get a moment and have internet access again.

Let the adventure/chaos/tears/joy/excitement/insanity begin!

Psst- Check out Clara’s weekly picture (also snapped on the packing box background) here.

    So, have you seen the Friends episode where Joey buys that huge white ceramic dog? Sherry, I think of you every time I see that episode. I’ll be praying for your little white critters. :)

    when my hubby and i were driving to work this morning, i gasped and said ‘oh no, the petersiks are moving today – i hope the snow doesn’t slow them down!’

    he, of course, said ‘who are the petersiks?’ but i was very concerned! hope today goes well for you ;)

    Hang in there! Been thinking about you guys all day! I had to say goodbye to my childhood home when I was 14…such a bittersweet day and I cried the entire first night in our new house in which my sweet mother offered to take me at 2 am to drive by! A memory I’ll never forget…but the new house will soon become home. Have fun and soak it in!

    Thinking good thoughts for a successful closing today and move into your new home.

    (Is it really sad that I just checked into a hotel in Philadelphia and my first thought was to see if there were any updates about your closing? No? I thought not.)

    Is it strange to you that an entire group of people are virtually moving with you? I’m checking in periodically to see how the progress is going and apparently i’m not the only one! I feel much better about it now. I hope the closing goes smoothly. Keep us posted. Good luck!
