So. Unbelievably. Tired.

We’re in. In a manner of speaking, that is. D was home today and we got a lot of stuff put away and unpacked. We’re pretty much down to a few boxes in the living room and, well, the whole master bedroom and bath. Ugh.

I’m finding that everything - EVERYTHING! - takes longer than I start out thinking it will take. Who would even think that it would take an entire day to unpack and organize a kitchen? Half a day to do a dining room?! And it’s downright exhausting. I’ve been going to bed early - and tired, and sore - every night since we arrived.

OK. Griping done.

Aside from what I've just said, I LOVE OUR HOUSE!!! I keep waking up thinking we’re on vacation. I love to cook in my kitchen (hello, convection oven!). I love our view and our yard and our garage and...well, everything about being here. It’s fabulous.

Time to help kids clean up the playroom. (Holy crap! A playroom!)

Yay - I'm glad you're in! It's exhausting work, yes, but so much more rewarding when you'r emoving into a place as opposed to leaving it. Will you be posting some pictures soon?!

Oh, and are you at least off for a couple more days? I was supposed to go back tomorrow but just found out I have a snow day - YESSSSSS!

Happy New Year!

Congratulations on a successful move! It's so much work but so worth it in cases like this where it sounds like you've found just what you want. Hooray! I'm so glad that you and Doug were able to get this house. And I know you're well on your way to making it a home. :-)
Happy new year in your new house!
