Three weeks ago, we moved to another house, here in Holland the dutch term is "Verhuizen"... It was such a very important day here, some people who are working has even a right to have a free day like vacation leave for that day....
As for me, this is like the first time experience of moving to another house... Way back in Manila, since I was born our family just moved to another place just once. I was 7 years old then, so I was so young to learn things about moving to another house...
Anyway as early as first week of June, we did signed the contract already with the renting of house effective July 1, so at that moment we are sure already that we got that house, then on that day we have the chance to go again inside the house and walk around.... It's one month preparation and somehow it's good... We have a chance to plan on how and where are we going to put the furnitures in the house. I also made a list of the things we needed in every part of the house like in the living room, dining room, bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and toilet. Then two weeks before we move, my husband brought from his work some "verhuizen dozen" or boxes used especially for those moving to another house. We used about 20 boxes, and I made it organized by labeling the box per room.
After we received the keys, we cleaned the house right away and we did the moving on the following day. Actually we are just about 100 meters away from the old house where we live in going to the new house so we don't really need to rent a truck for the transportation of our things... We thank Papa Willem, Greg, Mama Gea and Marjan for helping us with moving....
I've realized that it takes time before you can put everything in it's proper place especially you have to clean first every part of the house before you put things in it... On the first week the living room and dining room were ready plus of course the bedrooms... Then on 2nd week I made sure that everything in the kitchen was ready. And the clothings were already in the clothing cabinet. Now is the 3rd week, I make it sure that the curtains are complete. This time I used my talent in sewing clothes, I did gave my time in repairing the curtains, somehow it's nice you can buy curtains here that are like ready-made so it's easy to repair and cutting it in its right lenght... Then my husband became busy hanging the things that should be hang in the wall like those three paingtings we received from Daniel, Ivy and Raymunda.
Next week we want to make sure that the photo frames for hanging in the wall will be ready too...
