We're Moving? We're Moving!

States that is. From California to Nevada. Randy, Stella, Tita B and Roc have been renovating and packing like crazy the past couple of weeks, and apparently, our counter offer for some house near Vegas has been accepted (with some of our clauses, probably because of the plunge in the markets the past week). So, moving will be imminent.

Good thing I had packed our stuff (in Polaris) before we left. I had 2 huge boxes all filled up, and the rest we had either shipped to Manila or thrown away. I know Randy and company are looking at various Home Improvement Guides for tips on renovating what they can without breaking the bank. Wallpaper stripping, wall painting, grouting, even changing the faucets. He's done those, and lived to tell about it! Hehehehe. Good for him! At least all his efforts won't go to waste; it's slowly changing the look of Polaris from an "old, timeless" look to a more modern, more at-home and lived-in kind of place. Changes which will sure fetch a better price overall for Polaris.

Not sure if they've already thought about it, but I guess we have to start thinking of how to move the cars. Maybe we should contact a company that deals with auto shipping just so the whole move will go much more smoothly and we don't have to worry about a thing. I'm thinking a company that takes care of all the details for physically moving our vehicles would be safer (although much less fun!) than a convoy from LA to Vegas, hehehe.

Next problem we have to think of? How to furnish our new home-to-be. I'm assuming that Mom and Dad will be doing the same thing we did with Polaris: use international movers to ship our Philippine-made furniture (read that as wooden, carved and painted GOLD furniture! hehehe) from here to the States. Obviously, we're all crossing our fingers that Mom and Dad won't even think of international shipping, but just buying furniture from the local Ikea or something similar! :)

But until we close (or is it open?) escrow on the new house, all we can do is keep planning!
