Thwacking, schmacking, I hate...

Do you know how difficult it is to pack up 10 years of stuff accumulated by a family of 4 including 1 collector? Heavy sigh.

Greg's been an animal all week, packing everything he can get his hands on. I have helped with the packing this weekend while I'm in town between 2 business trips. Much of the upstairs is packed but the real challenges -- basement and garage -- lie ahead.

We're supposed to be able to move in starting July 14th, which is only 5 weeks away. Better start hurrying, eh?

In addition to packing, we're also preparing for a ginormous garage sale, tentatively slated for Saturday 6/25. Want some mid-century goodies? Swing on by the old house. We'll be there unloading mid-century belongings by the boxful.

Thousands of fans love us

Or something like that. The blog counter is about to hit 1,000 views, which is pretty exciting (particularly since I set up the counter not to count views from my computer).

In order to hurry things up, I will post a few words that are bound to get us some bonus hits:

- Justin Bieber

- Kate Middleton

- Mid-century modern

- Ashton Kutcher

- Dry well

That outta do it.

We're official

Our house project has made it onto the PMa site. Check it out!

Insanely great initial design drawings

Leedys are blown away by initial designs; in particular, the master balcony, the bonus loft for the kids, and the overall design of the stairway and great room -- excellent design and flow. Thanks Paul and Ryan!

Got the keys!

We picked up the keys yesterday, so we are officially the owners of a mid-century home in Garthwick. Let the adventure begin!
