Moving Day

Holy cow!! I can't believe that we survived moving day!! We are officially into our new home!! We started the day at 6:00 a.m. We went to pick up the Uhaul at 7:00 a.m. and everyone arrived at our townhouse to start loading aroun 8:30 a.m. We were done loading the Uhaul by around 10:30 a.m., and relaxed for a bit, and then got some lunch. We went to get the stuff out of J's mom's garage after lunch, loaded it onto another trailer and then headed to the new house. We were completely done unloading the trailer and the Uhaul into the house/garage just before 3:00 p.m. We all went our separate ways for a few hours, and then everyone came back to our house and we ate take-out and sat on the back porch listening to music and drinking a couple of beers. All in all, aside from the stress and the heat (it was almost 100 degrees yesterday), everything went fabulously. We are blessed to have some very great people in our lives who are very supportive and more than willing to sacrifice their entire Friday to support our happiness. I feel very blessed!!

Our dog and cat, Huck and Leo (respectively), are adjusting well. :) This is Huck's very first yard of his own. When he first saw the yard, he seemed so overwhelmed, and just ran and ran for the longest time! The yard at this house is what sold us on the house in general. We both really enjoy entertaining and we have alot of friends, so having a giant covered patio and a big lawn is really important for us. He's still loving the yard today. The cat is pretty relaxed, so he's not too excited, but the fact that he's been able to relax so quickly in a new house tells me that he's comfortable with the move.

We started decorating and I'm so excited about how the house is coming together!! It's so beautiful. I especially love the kitchen and the living room (those are the rooms that are the most put-together). Everything is so comfy and cute and well-matched. I'm excited to keep unpacking today. We're having a BBQ for all of those people who helped us tonight. It's going to be fun, fun, FUN! J is going to go pick up the BBQ from his mom's and we're going to blend up some margaritas and have a real good time!! I just can't get over how lucky I am, how lucky WE are to be experiencing all that we are in this stage in our lives. It's days like this that make all the other stress and worry worth it.
