Seven Months as a MRS.

The Wonderful Things:

• We are off to Mexico this weekend. We decided to delay our "actual" honeymoon until winter, when we would want to get out of northern Minnesota and go someplace warm. We went to Bayfield, Wisconsin for a few days after getting married (which was way fun) but now we are off to Puerto Vallarta and using a week from my parents time share (thanks mom and dad)
• We were talking that this is really the first real trip we have taken together other than our trip to Bayfield or to visit family and dear friends (which sort of counts as a vacation but doesn't) - we are jazzed to be flying somewhere. Whoop Whoop
• I think we have almost everything switched over to our new address - every time I think we have a good handle on this we have totally forgotten something else. Thank God for the United States Postal Service and their ability to forward mail.
• I LOVE LOVE LOVE our new house. Seriously.
• I hope to post about it soon

The Things No One Warns You About:

• when boys get sick it sucks - the world ends. enough said.
• Moving sucks as much as it is amazing

The Miscellaneous Things:

• Ahhh yes, I have fallen off the blogging deep end. December was nuts with our houses, yes houses, it took a bit longer than we anticipated for our old house to sell it kept getting delayed and what not (read super annoying) and we ended up being able to move into our new house a few weeks earlier than our old house sold. I seriously think for my sanity this was our best option, I can't imagine having staying in our old house because we each had a laundry basket of clothes, a spoon, a fork, a bowl, no plates, one towel, and minimal anything else. It was nuts. I would have been climbing the walls. Anyways, long story short, we got moved. Whoop Whoop. And our house is sold and we don't have to worry about it. Whoop Whoop.
• I do plan to hop back on the blogging world, life got nuts and ahead me and this is fell behind. Sooo after we return from Mexico (we get back on the 18th) - know that this will come back into action. No promises until then.

I can't believe we have been married seven months already, time flies for sure. Time boggles my mind, to me it feels like days crawl by at times and sometimes fly but weeks for sure fly by and months I don't even have a word to mark how fast they seem to be going. 

Here is to getting back in the saddle soon on the blog. I miss writing.

MOVING DAY

It. Is. Finally. Here!

REJOICE.
   no more camping in the living room of our house
   no more lack of our stuff (yes, this is indeed a first world problem)
   a new house to fill with memories (and hopefully not too much stuff)
   new walls to paint, carpets to spill on, and neighbors to meet
   thankful for the ability to have a new house and the opportunity to move

We close this morning at 11:00 am. Both Marc and I have the day off (because we can) and so this morning we are going to load our stuff into our moving truck (seriously jazzed we got a free moving truck from our Realtor, we only have to pay the gas).

The sucky part is we won't close on our current house for another week due to their loan being stupid slow in coming through, however they are 99% certain it will still close next week. We are fairly confident of that and ready to be done living like we are camping and just want to get on with the process. The nice part is this does give us a little bit more time to move and get everything cleaned out. I have it mostly cleaned, however I would like to run the vacuum through the front room one more time, double check that all the poop is picked up in the yard, and wipe down the bathroom one more time and run a mop over the wood floors. So while in one sense it raises the stress level and on the other it lowers the stress level. Praying that everything goes through next week with the house to close and we only own two houses for a week.

We probably won't move a ton into our new house until Saturday, we have friends who have graciously volunteered to help us haul stuff. So until then we will probably just make small loads to the house and start to think through what we need to do and where stuff will go. The things on the to-do list for right away is: hang a shower curtain, put toilet paper in the bathrooms (yes, bathrooms with an 's' we have multiple), plug the deep freeze back in, we emptied it and put things in coolers but it needs to be plugged in asap), and put our refrigerator stuff in there so it doesn't get warm. Ridiculously exciting.

I am sure there will be a ton of photos to be coming at some point. Watch for them.
I am VERY thankful to be in the new house by Christmas!
I am not very excited to have to switch my address on everything again.


How do you feel about moving?
