Home Sweet Home

Oh it's good to be back! I can't believe how much I actually missed blogging. And while I was in the process of moving, I missed my first anniversary of blogging. Last late July, I began blogging after a couple of friends kept talking about all the fun they had with theirs. It doesn't seem like one year has passed...time keeps getting away from me these days. Anyway, happy (late) anniversary to me!

Now down to the dirt...moving is HARD work people! And I'm fairly new in the world so I can only imagine what it would be like to move if you'd had time to accumulate a bunch of stuff. And while I'm on this subject I just want to give a lot of mention to my parents. There is NO WAY that I could have done this on my own. Also, a lot of thanks and love to A for coming and helping to unload and paint my wall. My living room looks spectacular thanks to this chick!! So, for all you that helped me....THANK YOU AND LOVE YOU LOTS!!!

A few people have asked that I post pictures and I will (as soon as my digital camera computer stuff arrive....a casualty of moving...left stuff) as soon as I can.

I'm sure that I had a typical move in experience. It poured the day we arrived so we couldn't unload the U-Haul. My parents stayed on the air bed and A and I took off for a hotel room. Monday morning we got started bright and early (9am is early right?) and thankfully got things unloaded without any problems. I did discover or rather it was brought to my attention that I have a lot of stuff...even for a person just starting out. The living room accent wall was painted (we were all over Extreme Home Makeover!) and I got the kitchen mostly unpacked. And at some point that day we discovered that I had no hot water. Par for the course I was assured.

Tuesday we went grocery shopping and again got to unload in the rain. I've been told that it doesn't normally rain this much but I'm beginning to doubt this theory. I think that day we had plumbers, telephone people (yeah...when the new carpet was put in the wires to the jacks were cut), and the handyman over to work on something or other.

Wednesday through Sunday was an endless time of unpacking and hanging stuff up or putting it in it's right place. And there were a good deal of "projects" that my dad worked on with tools. I even discovered that I like electric drills and screwdrivers. Those things are fun to use...I even asked for an electric screwdriver for my birthday.

Anyway, there are so many details that I couldn't tell them all (but I will give the highlights because I'm planning on posting room pictures with the highlights of that room included) and honestly I'm afraid I'd lose my audience.

So, I do have about four boxes left to unpack and did I mention that school starts in 8 days? I'm just a busy gal these days! But I did want to take time to get a post up and spend a few minutes catching up on other blogs. Thanks for all the well wishes that were sent my way. I appreciated them!
