Well, we did it! We moved! So glad it's over. All that packing & keeping necessary items out while cleaning & planning was definitely crazy. Much thanks to the few amazing people who helped us load up Paul's trailer & haul it to the new place late Friday night - I was close to dying from exhaustion & you all rescued me!
So, we're getting settled in nicely. We have internet as of today, we have all our essentials unpacked & many of the non-essentials, a fair amount of cardboard is strewn across the house along with lots of toys & random objects... so yeah, we're making good progress :) I have almost the entire kitchen all squared away & I broke it in with baking some amazing strawberry scones - the strawberries were from a local farm too! We're planning on BBQ'ing tonight to break that in as well.
I love the house so far. I love the location too. It's very quiet & incredibly serene. The backyard is beautiful, simple & should be easy to care for (though we might hire someone, depending on if we can get our hands on a mower soon). We feel very at home here, and surprisingly, our furniture actually works perfectly as well! We thought it might be awful & that we'd have to live with mismatched stuff for months until we could buy some more, but everything is fitting very well into place.
My brain is a little bit fried - so much planning & so many to-do's - I cannot write much else today for fear of getting way beyond what I can handle ;) We'll just say, in a few weeks when things have settled down, I'll have to really work on some of my weaknesses & I'm not sure how that will all play out. I want to, but I also don't want to. I'm just praying for a few people God will bring into my life to help me in these ways. And to be willing to let me husband help push me as well, without going all crazy on him!
Well, I best be getting to a few things - let me know if you want to visit... I'll bake something yummy & we can let the kids lose out back!
