Just a quick update to let the world know that I'm alive! Barely...but I am still breathing, I think.
We have had a whirlwind few days, but you almost can't tell that we've only lived in our house for 2 nights.
Thanks to mom for driving over to get Gracie on Friday morning so we could attend our closing toddler-free. Yay! And for whisking her away for a night so we could work. Wow was it nice! But, as much as I couldn't wait to have a "break" for a day or so, I almost didn't know what to do without Gracie that evening when we were settling down for bed.
Thanks to Jeff, John, and Julie for helping us move stuff on Saturday. Jeff, not sure I could've kept the pace without your XM Radio Jimmy Buffet concert. Made me dream of vacation...Ahhhh...;)And John and Julie, the Squirrel Nuts, Deer Poop and Bear Poop that you brought to share sustained me all day. Everytime I passed the kitchen island actually. (You had to be there!)
Thanks to Ron, Rebecca, Tal and Lucas for helping us sort boxes and set up the upstairs kid-zone.
We couldn't have done it without all of you.
Thank you all SO much!!!!!!!!!
I also want to say thank you to my sweet little boys who have been understanding (mostly) of parents that haven't taken much time to play or hang out with them since we started moving in our new home. They have been a big help and have been enjoying their new space so much.
A big thank you goes out to my sweet husband who has stayed up late and gotten up early with me every day to hang things on walls, rearrange furniture, etc so that the house is just right. Where would I be without him??
We have a ways to go, but we're almost there!
We are VERY ready to relax and enjoy our new home.
Speaking of enjoying it, I cooked my first real meal (unless the cinnamon rolls out of the can Sunday morning count...) in my new kitchen tonight. I was on the verge of tears. The onions didn't help, but I really was holding them back. It was such a joy to cook in a kitchen that wasn't too small. There was room for Gracie to play and I wasn't stressed with her being under my feet the whole time. She had room and I had room. Ahhh... it's everything I dreamed of.
I have already come to love the house even more than I thought I would.
As soon as we have everything done, I'll post pics. Can't wait for yall to see!!
