The First of the Lasts

Today was the last time my cleaning lady (CL) will clean the house with furniture in it. 

CL has been with us for about 5 years, maybe a little longer, and she has seen LOTS of changes in this house.  When she first started with us we didn't have a lot of furniture (kind of like how the dream house will be for a while) and we didn't use 1/2 our house. 

The front room was an office and we had 2 full guest rooms and I honestly have no idea what we did with the 3rd room.  Was there a futon in it?  Dear Lord.

Since then we have been invaded by little boys and we now use every freakin' inch of this house and then some.  A couple rooms have been redone and redecorated.  Furniture has been purchased and rearranged.  And everything looks a lot more lived in.

CL is sentimental about the house too.  And probably apprehensive about going from cleaning 2100 sq ft to 4500+ sq ft.  But she is a good sport.  She is going on this adventure with us. 

So CL cleaned the house with our belongings in it for the last time.  She'll be back to do a "move out clean" but this was the first of the lasts.

Actually, I'll take that back.  A couple weeks ago was the last time Mr. Molly's parents will visit this house.  And last weekend was the last time BFF will see it.

So actually CL was the 3rd of the lasts.  Oh well... they will start coming fast and furious now.  I'm so very happy that we have something amazing to look forward to, otherwise this would be seriously depressing.
