settling in
7 05 2008Yesterday marked the big move from our condo on Fanita Rancho to our new home. The previous evening David had invited a number of friends for his one hour manly move in which a number of helpful and strong dudes loaded up their vehicles with much of our boxed items. My sister-in-law, Emily, generously helped me unpack the kitchen on Monday and me got most of it done! Yesterday a crew moved the remainder of our belongings and we spent our first night at our new home on Verlane Drive. The morning was tedious as we scrounged for breakfast in our empty kitchen and tried to get the remaining miscellaneous items into a movable state in a short amount of time. Chalice seemed a little extra clingy and tired by the middle of the day. Joel loved all the excitement, but fell asleep in the few minutes between my tucking him in and David coming to pray with him too. Today when I ran a few errands, Joel curled up with his head on my purse in the grocery cart and was fast asleep in no time! I sort of wish I could be the one asleep in that grocery cart right now! My baby is bumping around in his or her tight space–rather curious to investigate what all the commotion is about these days. Things are starting to take shape. I got a lot of unpacking done yesterday and David got some things set up. We have a Chism Brother’s man, Dave Olson, touching up walls and doors. A number of boxes still decorate our living room, but as soon as the bookshelves are stationary, I can get many of those boxes unloaded and broken down. Hopefully y’all can come see our new home soon!
