I'm still here!

My mom informed me yesterday that she was tired of seeing "Okey Dokey, Artichoky" so I thought I would come over to her house and write a quick blog. I have had about 5 minutes of internet time in a week and I am having withdrawls!

My dad said to Matthew last week, "Moving is hard, isn't it?" He replied, "Not really. The kids get to play while the grownups do all the work!"

That really sums up last week. Other than the week that I took my national boards for Speech Pathology then turned around the next week to take finals in graduate school, I can't think of a more busy and stressful week than last week! Moving into one house and out of another (and closing on both) is stressful enough. I also piled on a garage sale, swimming lessons, directing a musical at church (along with two friends), and a baby shower for Stephanie! The baby shower was tons of fun and I really needed a night with girlfriends!

I hope that last paragraph didn't sound like I was complaining. I feel so blessed to be in our new house! Now starts the fun part of putting things where they belongs, etc. My in laws kept the boys over the weekend and Bryon and I (along with my parents) knocked out 95% of the unpacking.

I will have internet, phone, and TV by the middle of the week so I will write more then. Have a great Fourth of July!

Great to have an update, I've been wondering how it's all going!

Moving is fun in so many ways getting to set up house again, but I remember that exhaustion all too well.

I read about the musical at SG's blog - it looked fabulous! I'm amazed you've been able to fit all that in!

We moved last year...ugh! I know you're exhausted, but I bet you will be glad to be so settled by the time school starts back up for Matthew.

Looking forward to updates! You've been missed!

I am so impressed that you are already 95% unpacked (by now you are probably 100%!).

Hope you are enjoying your new place!
