I Will Survive

I'm Baaaaaaaack!!!

We're moved in now. Sort-of. I have no idea when we will be finished unpacking. Or when I will have pictures. Brand new house makes really old furniture look really old. And ugly.

Hopefully, we are settling into a routine and will be unpacked pretty quickly. We are enjoying it very much and are so aware of the blessing it is.

We have already used our fireplace more than we ever used the last one we had. When all you have to do is flip a switch it's really wonderful. At least, for us lazy folk. And I am discovering that I actually like to cook given the right environment. While the new kitchen isn't a gourmet, professional kitchen it's pretty darned fantastic.

Today I'm making a chocolate pie. No, the boxes aren't unpacked. And no, that probably doesn't make sense. But I just go with it folks. When your brain is wired the mine is you expect things to be a bit off. And they are. And that's okay.

The children have discovered the joy of takin' a Jacuzzi. Duncan wants us to put one in his bedroom now. Probably not happening. Especially after he decided it would be funny to stick his hiney in the air and exclaim that the jets were massaging his butt. Then he was giggling so hard I thought he might drown.

All in all not a bad move. I am a seasoned pro at this point and feel it went smoothly. We still have a few things to pick up from the old house and storage building that's full but we'll take care of that slowly. We had just enough help to not kill ourselves but also not have so many people that it was chaos. I prefer the unpacking to be left to me because even though it's a lot of work I am the one that needs to know where everything is anyway so I might as well do it.

I do have funny stories to share and hopefully, there will be some pictures too. Stay tuned.
