After about a month of Rhya packing up the house, my Dad, Mom, and I spent Saturday moving the boxes and the light(er) furniture into the garage to get ready for transport. Then, on Sunday, Dad and I loaded up a 26′ U-haul and took it to the storage facility. After that delight, we came back to the house for round 2. This time, Charlie came over and we grabbed the heavy furniture as well. So, with the exception of a few boxes to be packed, a lawn to be moved and some cleaning and paint touch-up, we are effectively now longer P-towners. I now declare us citizens of Chillsville, though Rhya and I will be in Rockford and Princeville respectively in the near future. Phone numbers won’t change, and we’ll send out some change of address cards in a bit. I’ll have some pictures to post soon. There is a lot of progress being made!

Help me sell my house
Since Rhya and I are working to sell our home, I thought I’d see if you all can help us advertise our home. If you live in the Peoria area and have access to any community or business billboards, I’ve linked to a flyer that is easy to print and should work on everyone’s computer.
Thanks in advance!

We’re Officially Selling Our Home
With the completion of our new construction getting closer and closer, Rhya and I have decided that now is the perfect time to put our current home on the market. We’ve listed our home on Owners.com, Google Base, Knooble, and Craigslist so far. I’m going to create a page on this site to aggregate virtually all of the information that I have on the house. If you know anyone that is looking for a starter home in Peoria, I think this is a great house, and it is definitely priced to move!

T-Storms
I wish I would have had the digital camera last night. I’ve never seen so many trees ripped up in person before. I drove home from work last night right after a severe thunderstorm had passed through, generating winds of over 70 mph. This picture from my camera phone shows a giant tree two doors down from our house with about half of its major branches ripped in half. Luckily, the only damage done to our tree was very minor – but it was enough that I was picking up sticks in our yard for an hour while they restored power to our block.

Trick or Treat
Never enough. We never have enough candy. This year, we thought we’d be slick, as Rhya and I both have a compunction for giving too many pieces of candy to each kid. So, to alleviate that problem, we went to Sam’s club and bought 2 economy boxes of full-size candy bars (65 in total). With full-size bars, we were both confident that we could feel good giving each kid only 1 item.
And we did, and it worked…for 30 minutes. Halloween is expensive when you live in a big neighborhood.
