We are moving. We have been approved to move into our top choice, a town home. We have decided that March 29th will be the big day. We will be very busy the next few weeks, so I probably will not post very often. I am so excited to be closer to Brent's work and to have him home more. Also, the doctor the baby will be seeing on a weekly basis for several months is on that side of town so I am glad we are able to move before he is born versus after.
I was told of a really cool website called freecycle.org, it is similar to craigslist except that everything posted is free. The point of the website is to share, give and recycle - helping out each other and putting less in the land fills. So I visited this site today and found a listing where this guy was giving away moving boxes and Brent picked them up on his way home from work, those added to the boxes we saved from our last move will be more than enough to get us through this move. Hurray for cool websites!
It probably isn't worth mentioning, but today at Albertsons (thanks to some awesome deals and my stack of coupons) I spent $93 and saved $68!! How cool is that. I got several items to add to my food storage and stocked my freezer up. Not bad.
In other worse news we got our water bill in the mail the other day... $188.20 !!! For water! My electric bill was $196 and I couldn't believe that my water bill was almost as much as that. The difference is that electric is billed monthly and water is billed quarterly... but still, almost 200 bucks for water?! Incredible. Our utilities up here are outrageous, we were so spoiled in Santa Clara. I am glad to know that at the town house we are not responsible for the water bill - phew.

Good luck with the move! Sounds like its a better deal for everyone! That is really cool about the boxes! I wish I would have known about that before we threw out 80+ of our moving boxes last month! Although I am pretty sure they recycled them.
