Movin' on up!

This is all still kind of surreal. We finally got pretty much everything moved into our new house (OUR new house!) on Thursday. Friday morning we left the chaos to go to a great wedding on the coast where we got a chance to just enjoy ourselves for a couple days. Now we're back and things are starting to take shape, but still I can't really believe it. Remember that scene from Doctor Zhivago where Yuri comes home from war and the posh mansion in Moscow where he has lived with his small family has been divided up into tenements for dozens of people? I keep expecting to walk into our house to find a stern comrade and I know exactly what she's going to say and just hope I'll be as graceful as Yuri (yes, I realize this is a crazy line of thinking).

But I digress. We're here! And BJ is so completely confused-mostly by the upstairs. He keeps getting lost and can't find his way down. I think what is really confusing is that he can see us downstairs but he can't just jump down-I hope this all will be worked out soon!


The house already looks very different from this right now and I will post updates at some point (like after we get the internet at the new house!). Right now there are mostly just piles of random stuff on the floors with no semblance of organization.



Over the week last week I just did a bunch of small trips with our pickup and on Thursday we had a ton of help from friends and I feel like I just directed and did very little of the heavy lifting-it was great! We brewed a beer for the occasion: Movin' on up. It's our best version of a pale ale yet!


Oh and I have to introduce Fang 2. He's about 16 yrs old and came with the house. So far BJ and Fang do NOT get along, but hopefully BJ just learns to stay away and things will mellow out between them. All the really matters is that he obviously loves me ;)


I am at the old double wide for the afternoon cleaning the last of our random stuff out before I have to clean it top t bottom-at least we're leaving it nicer than when we moved in-and hopefully I will never have to come back here!

Right now the one of the main things I love about the new house is that with all the windows I don't need to turn a light on anywhere until about 7:30 pm-it's just awesome!
