Boxes and boxes galore.

Finished. Done. Over. Kaput. Through.

However you put it, We're DONE MOVING!

And it feels good... almost.

I have to start by saying how thankful I am for the people who raised their hand when I asked for help. My brother Zach and sisters Kacey and Kristel, came into town to help. Kacey has an energy that really keeps me motivated. Kristel, who is a couple months pregnant, still really wanted to organize things so she gave me some inspiration to move when all I wanted to do was sit. What a BIG help! Zach was a trooper as well and took directions as fast as we could give them.

I can't forget to thank my friend, Trisha, from work. She offered to watch Edee for the day. I was so thankful to have another Mommy for Edee to stay with all day. It left no worries in my head. Even though I missed her all day I knew Trisha was loving on her more than I could.


I'm sitting on the floor surrounded by boxes full of...I have no idea what...thinking we have WAY to much stuff. So, the mission to downsize and organize is still in action. I admit, I didn't do the greatest job getting rid of things as we packed. I did manage to collect 3 boxes of things to donate. Ryan has graciously offered to help sort through everything we brought with us to the new place. I am so thankful for this. Every time I open another box I feel overwhelmed all over again. But I know we will get there.

I call it all bittersweet. I almost felt sad when I closed the door to our old place for the last time. But, I am excited to be out of there too. But, it was our home. Do you see what I mean? I suppose I need to look forward to making this place our home. Where ever Ryan and Edee are is where I am, is the place I will call home.

I know I have so many things to look forward to in this place. I can't wait to have time to redecorate and reorganize and then relax in our new place. I have so many ideas to take advantage of our new surroundings. I think spending a year here will be easy. It's just... brighter. And the carpet is brand new and the bedrooms are bigger and their is a balcony/deck. I can already see us sitting outside drinking coffee in the morning, or grilling burgers for dinner. It makes me giddy just thinking about it.

New places always feel like new beginnings. A fresh start.

Keep Loving.
