During this process of moving I’ve been thinking about all these things lately so I wanted to make some lists (They can be much longer but I didn’t want to make them that long)…

A lazy morning before packing – Una mañana tranquila antes de empezar a empacar

Things I’ll miss:

1. My first BIG one is, of course, my close family and friends.
2. Cool events around LA (I will probably come to big ones that I don’t want to miss).
3. My mom’s and my sister help with the kids.
4. The spacious house with the yard (We are moving to a condo).
5. Little cool shops popping out around town!
6. The detachable shower head we had.

Things I won’t miss:

1. The hot unbearable weather during summer in the valley (Where I live).
2. Being far away from Derek on weekdays (He has been working in San Diego already for 6 months and came up during the weekends only).
3. Having to catch up with him during the weekends (which is never doable in 2 days).
4. The night routine with the kids all by myself.
5. The mess we had in the plastics cabinet.
6. All the stuff we had that we got rid of, ahhh, it feels so good!

But I also have a list for Things I’m looking forward to:

1. Getting cozy in our new family nest with Derek and our 2 little ones!
2. Having a good excuse to buy new stuff.
3. Discovering the new city, I’m sure cute shops will pop around there too.
4. Meeting new friends.
5. Decorating the new place, I will be bringing you photos and reports!
6. Cooking! Since Derek is not here during the week I’ve been lazy and don’t cook as much as I used too!
7. The great outdoors, I know San Diego has a lot of green, I can’t wait to spend more time outside!

We are almost done with packing, as I mentioned up here it feels so good to go through everything and get rid of LOT of stuff, bags and bags of trash plus giveaway things we don’t use or need anymore. The pictures I brought today are from things I threw away, I’ve been taking them just to have it as a memory, I realized I’ve been saving these things for too long and I really shouldn’t, and this way I’ll have the picture forever occupying much less space. A fresh new start!

A bunch of year planners and notebooks / Unas cuantas agendas y libretas

COSAS QUE EXTRAÑARÉ Y COSAS QUE NO EXTRAÑARÉ

Durante todo este proceso de mudarnos he estado pensando mucho en estas cosas ultimamente y quise escribir estas listas (Pudieran ser mucho más largas pero no quise hacerlas tan largas)…

Cosas que extrañaré:

1. Lo primero que extrañaré MUCHISIMO, mi familia y mis amigos.
2. Eventos chéveres en Los Angeles (Probablemente vendré a los que no me quiera perser por nada!)
3. La ayuda que me dan mi mamá y mi hermana con los niños.
4. La casa con el jardín grandote (Nos mudaremos a un apartamento).
5. Tienditas chéveres que descubro alrededor de la ciudad todo el tiempo.
6. La regadera desmontable y práctica que tenemos.

Cosas que no estrañaré:

1. El calorón horrible que hace aquí en el Valle cada verano (Adonde vivimos).
2. Estar lejos de Derek durante los días de semana (El ha estado trabajando en San Diego desde hace 6 meses y venía a Los Angeles cada fin de semana).
3. Tener sólo los fines de semana para ponernos al día (2 días no alcanzan para nada!).
4. Tener que hacer la rutina con los niños yo sola.
5. El desastre que teníamos en el gabinete de los plásticos.
6. Todas las cosas de las que me deshice, ahhh, se siente buenísimo!
