Bittersweet

Hello, and happy Monday. Happy for us, only in that we made it through the weekend. I was reminded why we've lived in all our houses for 10-plus years...moving is haaaaaarrrrrrdddddd. But we got 'er done...and officially said good-bye to the home we knew so well, loved beyond measure, and brought us more good times and memories than I can put in to words. I don't know if it was exhaustion or emotion, but a few tears were shed.

But by the time we rounded up the last load, I was ready to move on, and slept sound and peacefully in 'the new house'....now, simply our home.
Thanks to my parent's help, we managed to get enough unpacked that we can live here without wandering around helplessly. The kids actually made it to school today in clean clothes, teeth brushed, and a packed lunch! #smallvictories But finding my deodorant is another story.
I'm home today, to greet the endless utility installers who will arrive 'between 8 and 5,' #geethanks and dig my way out of more boxes. But I'll be back tomorrow with some sweet Valentine projects I created for a fun feature. Thank you for all the kind comments and emails over the last few days...your thoughtfulness means so much. Happy Monday, lovebugs!
