Boxes everywhere!
2 giant truckloads, piles and piles of boxes and lots and lots and lots of greatly appreciated help from family and friends later...we're moved in! What a whirlwind! There are still boxes everywhere but we are making a good dent in it day by day. As someone who likes to have everything in order, right now...it's been a tad tough looking around at the disarray, but I keep reminding myself that it will get done.
And...we are so happy to be in our new home! I made dinner for the first time tonight in our new kitchen which was so fun (just need to remember where I stashed everything...took me 5 minutes to find the cutting board!).
We are so thankful to everyone that came to help this past weekend...Mom F, brother Bobby and his girlfriend Katie for driving all the way up from Columbus for the day to help. Mom F is a pro at this moving stuff and helped keep things flowing...always going above and beyond! Katie was great with the girls, and I loved watching Bobby and Doug just be brothers all day. Family friends Dan and Frank and my Dad for hauling way more than they should have (I was so worried about them and probably annoyed them, chasing them with bottled water and asking every 5 minutes if they were okay...reminding them to take breaks!). And my mom for all the morale boosters, help with the girls, cleaning, painting...and for just being my constant calming and even keeled mom. Doug and I are truly blessed with all the people who surround us.
So...girls are in bed, and I'm procrastinating. Back to unpacking boxes!
