Home Sweet Home

We did it! We finally moved into our new house. Saturday was the big day...the movers arrived at 8:59am and we were "settled" in by 1pm. So now we have furniture in place and a pile of boxes sitting in our dining room. And that's OK!


While we were definitely excited about finally moving, we will admit to being a little nervous on Friday night. We hadn't actually spent the night in our house yet so you begin to wonder about strange noises you might hear or the little things you just don't expect. The movers showed up right on time Saturday morning and got right to work. The little man took turns sitting on our lap and ate breakfast while thoroughly enjoying the moving guys carry everything out of the apartment. It took a few hours to load the truck and then we were off to the new house.


The process of unloading the contents of the moving truck seemed to go much more quickly and by 1pm we were done. Then it became the process of setting up the bedrooms so we could all sleep comfortably that night. My husband worked on putting the little man's crib together and I started laying out the pieces of our bed. We are all very tired at that point so we put the little man down for nap and we sat in the living room only to wake up to our doorbell. Very few knew where we were so we were both surprised to hear the doorbell chime. I answered the door and it was a nice young guy selling packs of meat! I nicely told him we had just moved in and were not interested at this time. I was laughing as I told my husband what he was selling since it reminded me of my father-in-law's stories of when he was young and worked for a company called Meat City, but that is for another entry.


We then went back to the apartment to pick up some smaller items we had left behind and get the cat. We weren't sure how he would react to his new home, but he seemed to take to it quite quickly and seems to be settling in (thankfully). We think he is enjoying his new hiding spots away from the little man and what cat wouldn't enjoy some peace and quiet away from an energetic two year old!


Sunday we all slowly woke up and then ran some errands including a good old trip to Target. I love Target! Some people love other stores that need not be named, but I am definitely a Target girl. Sunday night we had dinner and then all relaxed in the living room. While the little man played, my husband hooked up the modem so that we could resume our nightly rituals of surfing the web on our laptops. All seemed right with the world at last!
