Catching Up!

We have been up to a little of this... saying good bye to this...

and smiling to our new home ;)
So I have been MIA for awhile now and well I sorta feel a bit more caught up on things. We moved into our new home 3 weeks ago today and from the second day on I have felt like we have already lived here for a couple of months now. This feels very good. We celebrated my birthday here. Which was a nice way to break in the house.

Our move went very smoothly. It helps to have a great crew though too! We were able to pack our entire home into 2 U Hauls-the really big ones. We signed our papers and were off to our new home. We had everything unloaded by 4:30 and we ate dinner and we all were like now what do we do?

We had our sofa in our living room but no TV!

OMG! How were we going to survive the night?

Answer: Watch Grey's on Carson's laptop.

On Saturday we continued to unpack what seemed like an ocean of boxes in our garage. But something that needed more tending to than the garage was the overgrown hayfield in our backyard. My dad came to the rescue and left to go to S.B. for his awesome lawn mower. Sunday we had a cookout with family, which was so nice because it was the perfect day for it. Throughout our unpacking many of our neighbors have introduced themselves and we were told that there was going to be a block party for everyone to celebrate memorial day! So that night we went across the street to the neighbors home and met still some more of the nice people who live on our street. Lauren loved watching all of the little kids play and she fell in love with a bicycle which had streamers on the handles...Christmas present I think! We really feel welcomed in our new home and with such great neighbors who could ask for a better place!

Then Tuesday came along and Lauren and I left to go up to S.B. for a rummage sale. I know it seems a little crazy to be doing that especially since we haven't even been here for a week. But I had everything already up in S.B. and priced! So we just had to set up. We had a great time and I sold everything that I wanted to! I came home with just some clothes. Yeah!

Lauren is NOT for sale.Shopping for some treasures.

Now that we have been here for three weeks it is really nice to have most of our things out of boxes. We just have to decide now where to put things on the walls. Fun stuff.

I have started to sleep past my usual 5:30. Our bedroom is without window treatments (something on my "to do" list) so the sun comes up and then I can't sleep anymore. I think that the weather has something to do with that because it has been overcast the last week or so. My "to do" list has been growing lately and now I have moved from a small single sheet of paper to a whole notebook. Every night I go to bed thinking that I still have alot more to do. Which reminds me I still have to switch some addresses!!!

Whew long post!
