Planning The Descent

The true descent will not happen for a few more weeks. My descent will take me from 8,248 feet to a comfortable and manageable 1,050 feet..........from Nederland Colorado to the Peach of Georgia -- Atlanta.
I know folks in Georgia all feel their community has claim to being the "peachiest" as part of the 4th state admitted to the union ( and one of the original 13 colonies ) but since I am not familiar with any part of Georgia and Atlanta will be my new home, then I am claiming Atlanta to be my Peach until I discover another community that can hold this title more deserving.
Things are rolling pretty quickly for me and Brian. Our house goes on the market sometime within the week. We have the moving company coming to the house to survey our furnishings on Saturday.
The last of the touch up to "beautify" the house will be complete today..........thank goodness. We haven't been able to access the house through the garage and I haven't been able to use my bathroom or sleep in my own bed. I've had to camp out upstairs in the guest room since Sunday night and use the guest bathroom. It's been okay, but Chris , my cat, is wondering what's going on and why she isn't allowed to sleep in "her" bed.
Today after work our realtor wants to show us the three other properties in our area which will be our "competition". He's already given us a heads up to expect a possible year until the house sells .........Yikes!!
Anyway, preparing and planning a move is always something I dread, although the excitement of moving to a new place I've never lived makes it all worth it. Knowing that my descent will happen sooner that I can blink makes it even more exciting.
Our last day at the current company we are employed ( I won't dare mention it's name or the more commonly initialed letters it's more commonly called ......at least not until I leave) is March 12. From that point on I can put all my energy and focus into the relocation and starting my new life at the 1050 Affair.

  2. I named it 1050 because that's the elevation of Atlanta.
