Moving Weekend

It's official!  We are now the proud residents of 8065 Oak Creek Drive.  (I can't really say owners for about 30 years, right?)  We spent last weekend moving.  It was super exciting and tiring and overwhelming and even quite sad.  I experienced more emotions in three days than I have in a long time. Saying goodbye to our first house...a house full of memories...was so much harder than I thought it would be.  I was doing OK until Miles decided we should tell Acer negundo (the big backyard tree) goodbye and thanks for all the shade it's given us, then it really hit me.  After a few days of sob fest I am finally getting it together and I'm so excited about the new house.  We've done a lot of unpacking, but still have boxes in every room.  The kids seem to be loving it.  They are sleeping well and we are too on our new king size bed!  That was a moving splurge and we both agree it was worth it.  Bella explored outside for the first time tonight and just returned scratching on the back door.  She was not happy about 5 days cooped up inside, so we let her out to wander. 

It's not so fun to have your house filled with this.

Jeff, the sold sign, the moving truck and only about half the contents of the shed.  It looked like an awesome yard sale!

The new kitchen on the first night.  We were overwhelmed by boxes stacked in every direction, so we tag teamed it and got the kitchen organized first thing.  We have so many cabinets that a lot of them are still empty even with everything put away.

The view from our closet window the first morning here.  Yep, I said closet window!

I am so thankful for all we have and so excited for all that is to come.  Here's hoping we have many happy years under this roof!
