Chapter 9 - 2016

September came and went in the blink of an eye. I can't believe we're here in October already! September was honestly a blur for me. So much happened, and I'm having a hard time trying to recall all the little details.

Four big things happened:

1. We moved into our new home on September 12! We were able to do early occupancy as part of our contract. Due to work obligations, I didn't get out of the office until after 5 pm each day. Moving after work is so stressful. I wish I could have taken a few days off dedicated to moving and getting settled in. Thankfully we had 6 days to get everything moved out of the condo so during the week we just moved the essentials and then Sean's friends helped move the rest of our stuff on the weekend.
2. We went to Hawaii! I went from September 18 - 24, and then Sean met up with my family and I midway through the trip.
3. We closed on the sale of our condo on September 22.
4. We closed on our new house on September 26.

I know what you're probably thinking - Who the hell travels while they're trying to sell and buy a new home?! We had our Hawaii trip planned since January/February, we didn't even think about selling our condo or buying a new house until April/May, and we didn't think it would take long to sell our condo. I am a firm believer that God's timing is perfect. Even though life was chaotic and insane for a few weeks, everything worked out the way it was supposed to!

It was also nice that we were officially in our condo 6 years (September 20 marked the day). I'll never forget the last time I walked in there, it didn't hit me that it was the last goodbye until I closed the door to our unit. Then I started ugly crying, LOL. Thank you for the memories. We're still working on unpacking and getting settled in our new home. I can't wait to start blogging about the whole experience. There's still so many other posts I need to catch up on!
