{HOME}

We're home.

=)

What a nice feeling that is. Not that we can actually just 'be' in our house for more than 4 hours at a time it feels like. haha We are here, then we're gone, but this is the house we come back to day after day. This is the house we are going to come back to day after day for years to come. We like this house. This is OUR house.

We have now been here over a week, and our furniture is situated, our books are on book shelves, candles are burning, I have cooked in the kitchen, and baked cookies and everything.

We don't really have pictures up on the walls yet, but that takes time. I think we need a long weekend and both of us here before we can do things like that.

This is one of our living rooms, looking into the dining room... it was taken last week, when things were still a mess.

This is our dining room and table.

And this will most likely be our holiday card this year, so don't get upset if you see the same photo twice. =)

today

Today is the day that our life 'for real' changes. =) Our parents are arriving tonight, we are living with even MORE boxes, and tonight the rest will go in boxes. Tomorrow morning we will be up early and hopefully have most of our belongings into the new house before Saturday evening. Our internet will also be turned off for a few days... so I will catch ya on the flip side! Can't wait to share the new house pictures with you in a week!

Before that though, I have to get dressed, get to school, plan, go to an assembly with 22 five year olds, etc.

The time is here

Well, it's final.
We signed papers Friday afternoon.
We delivered our check Monday afternoon.
We picked up the keys to our new house on Tuesday afternoon!

We are so excited. We are packed and ready to go. Tonight we are hoping to clean the carpets (just to be sure - I have bad allergies) and then we start the real moving bright and early Saturday morning.

We have 3 pickups.
We have 3 trailers.
We have my car.
We have lots of motivation!

I will post pictures as I am able to get inside and take them. =)
