HEL-LO my long lost friends in the blogging world! How are you? Me? Well, how nice of you to ask! I have had one of the craziest weekends ever! We moved on Saturday and everything went pretty smoothly. We still have small projects and cleaning to do in the town home but, otherwise everything is over here. OR at least I think everything is here I’m still missing some things…and on the hand I’m opening up boxes I packed ages ago and getting surprised by old stuff I forgot I had!

For those of you who don’t know me personally let me enlighten you into how I tick. I am fairly “driven” and when there is a task-at-hand I don’t do well until it’s done. Thus, living in a box-filled home and I don’t do well! So, I have been working my butt off and then Sunday morning I’m carrying Leyton down the stairs and I pinched a nerve in my back. I could barely walk for the whole day. I have the most amazing friends and a few came over to organize my kitchen, living room and master bath while I laid on the couch! NOW THAT’S TRUE FRIENDSHIP!

I finished the kids rooms yesterday and tackled their bathroom today. Now all that’s left is the guest room and the garage…YIKES! But, I’m starting to relax.

Matt asks me every day if it feels like it’s my home yet…and I keep telling him “I feel like we’re house sitting for friends and I’m spending all my time cleaning their house” It’s weird. It definitely doesn’t feel like home but, time will heal that. AND holidays too! There’s something about having holidays with friends and family in your home that makes you own it…probably all the work that goes into hosting.

My back feels better and the boxes are slowing disappearing. I think most of it will be done by the weekend and then I can relax. Well, sort of, taking a couple days off work means I’m a little behind on my editing…busy season in so many ways!

I will make time to go to the Apple Orchard and I will blog those pictures. They are the best! If you go and take a winner send it to me!

So many things are changing…the seasons, the leaves, my home, my kids…it feels like everything all at the same time. And when I feel that happening I get all nestalgic and want to call old friends and talk through this season and past seasons.

I called my sister the other night cause I was watching a movie that reminded me of her. I started the conversation by saying, “Guess what movie I’m watching…I quoted the line, “That’s a beautiful picture. Is that you and your mother? What are doing?” and she answers “Twirling!” My sister guessed the movie was “You’ve Got Mail” and then added…F-O-X Fox! I love that about sisters.

I talked to one of the girls that was my bridesmaid (she now lives in England) and we chatted about how we first met and didn’t like each other. Now, even when we don’t talk for ages, we can pick up the phone - no guilt and pick up right where we left off.

I’ve been receiving calls from friends offering to help with whatever need I have this week…all of those calls are saying “I Love You” and I needed that this week.

I’m happy seasons are changing. I just like sharing the process with you!

It’s an amazing feeling. I can’t wait to walk through the doors the first time and know that it’s mine. I’m really excited to start dreaming of each room and how I’m going to decorate! I’m going to do things differently this time…I’m going to live there for a while and pick things gradually! There’s something very different about knowing I’m going to be here for a long time.

I can’t wait for the first holiday we spend there. Usually I wouldn’t think of Halloween as a holiday but, this year it will mean we’ll get to open our doors to the neighborhood kids and introduce ourselves. Thanksgiving will perfect because Dave will be making the turkey and then there’s Christmas…my favorite holiday! I’m already thinking about having an annual Christmas party! This year I think I’ll do a Christmas party/Open house…any unique party ideas for me?

I listed our town-home today and already got some inquiries! I’m praying that it rents quickly to the right person or family! This is definitely a step of faith for me. I know it’ll all work out!

I have much to do! It’s crazy! Normally I’m a “do-it-myself” kind of girl but, I’m learning how to receive help…only cause I have no other choice!

This is the busiest season for everything…and my best friend due with her third and ready to pop at any moment - which I’m totally stoked to drop everything for!

In all the business I haven’t really been able to think about the beautiful new house we’re about to own. I guess I figure I’ll have the rest of my life to revel in that!

Have you ever closed on a house? It’s totally crazy! You sign your name hundreds of times and it really feels like you’re signing your life away. The worst part is when they show you how much you’d be paying for your house if you actually pay all the interest…OUCH!

I am happy. I love my new house. I guess I just needed to say that out loud. AND to all my friends who have offered to help - thank you! I need your help! (there…I said it!)

Don’t worry I’m planning on taking pictures and of course I’ll post them on my blog!

A while back I went on a mini vacation with my family…for those of you who are faithful blog readers I’m sure you remember me talking about my perfect trip up to Lutsen!

Anyways, I was having trouble with uploading pictures today and had to wait (not one of my favorite things to do) so I worked on these pictures. LONG OVER DUE!

Enjoy! This one I set the shutter speed at about a second and captured the water flowing…so pretty!

Adriah loves to show her emotions…especially for the camera. Here’s HAPPY!

Pirate - arughhh!

And ANGRY!

BIG SQUEEZE!

“cheese!”

thanks for sharing my family with me! Hope you’re having a great day…maybe go for a short hike somewhere close…it’s beautiful outside!
