Official

We made it official yesterday - we signed on the house on Erinsbrook and now IT'S OURS! We weren't really thinking about it, or at least trying not to worry about it. But after it happened on Friday there was a feeling of . . . relief! And now we spend time making our new house feel like home. When you walk in you can see everything laid out nicely - our stuff everywhere. But it will take some time to really feel comfy. For me, I look around and see so much I want to accomplish. But in a week I have to admit that there is much we have already done. I have to remember to stop and admire and enjoy this place. We waited quite a while and thought it wouldn't even happen!

When we left our house on Cutright there was some sadness. After a reaaalllyyy long Sunday of moving I cleaned it up, the last thing to go being the food in the fridge when our new one finally arrived at the new place. Leo and I took one last look around at our first house together. Good memories there.

Every day since, we have been busy unpacking, cleaning and organizing. Today is actually the first day where I have taken it easy. At least in terms of house stuff. I went to a workout class this morning with a friend then we were off to a birthday party in the neighborhood. We stopped long enough for a Nathan Nap then were out the door again to Amy and Dan's for an afternoon gathering. Whew are we pooped! And I am fighting a bit of a cold. All this stuff finally caught up to me. Thankfully tomorrow is Mothers Day and guess what?! I qualify and can enjoy it!

I had hoped to take a picture of us in front of the old then new house. In the haste of all that was happening I did not get to it yet. But it's coming. Being that we live down the street going back to take a pick will be easy. (I will even be able to get in there to see what is being done to renovate since it's being flipped!) So stayed tuned and pics will be coming.
