Home Sweet Home

After a long Friday night of tears and shock we headed back to our new home. We really weren't prepared to spend the night at the new place yet as all we had inside was paint and supplies but thanks to the kindness of my parents wonderful neighbors we had what we needed to make it thru the night until we got moved in the next morning and had a chance to hit Target or Wal-Mart.

Saturday was the big move in day and everyone insisted we stick to it and get it done, so that we did. With lots of help from all my family even my aunt Candy and Uncle Jan (who were visiting from Iowa) we were moved in, in no time flat. It was a somber weird day but under all the sadness and shock everyone was happy for us. It has taken time but we are slowly getting back to whatever normal is with two small children but I do feel we are about there. Boxes are mostly unpacked and things are getting organized. We have phone, cable, and as of yesterday we have the computer set up (hence I am finally posting again). I look around and cant believe I live here sometimes. There is soooo much room, going from 3 bedrooms to 5 is a shocker but i am NOT complaining at all. I have room to finally be somewhat organized for once. The kids have lots of play space up and downstairs which has made happy kids and a happy mommy and daddy!!!

The neighborhood has been wonderful thus far. My neighbors couldn't be nicer. Everyone has made it a point to introduce themselves to us and I have even been invited to a Silpadia party this Sat. by my neighbor next door. Another neighbor has made it a point to show me around town and to all the fun and free spots for kids as she has 4 kids ages 4,twins that are 2 and a 2 month old. She is happy to have someone to hang out with during the day and I'm am too!!!

Ben and I just feel so lucky that we have such a beautiful home and we hope to share it with all of you friends and family. It's bittersweet in a way as you all who are far away we would love to share it with you. So please take us up on our offer sometime and visit.
