An Update

Yes, I'm still alive. And I will post pictures of Bug as soon as I figure out which moving box has the cord for the camera and get the necessary software on my new laptop (Mother's Day present).

Life has pretty much been taken over by the move. It is so amazing to be in my own house. We have been here for exactly 12 days. The movers did the bulk of the heavy lifting, but there were loads of things for us to do. G took the week before the move off work so that he could bring stuff up on his own. With movers charging by the hour, we wanted to make things as easy as possible. Besides, it was his turn to be the person doing the work before the move. I did it last time and I was 9 months pregnant with Bug at the time.

Anyway, everything went fine. We devoted Memorial Day weekend to the move and managed to get the kitchen unpacked. I love love love love LOVE my new kitchen. I actually have empty cupboards and more counter space than I could have imagined. It's lovely.

I could say the rest of the house is coming together, but I would be lying. Oh my god, this is my house. Sorry, that happens to me a lot. I need to get back in the swing of this unpacking business. In the meantime, we are settling in. Bug seems to be fine with the move. I think she likes having the room to move around. We went from a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath townhouse with a tiny kitchen and one main room downstairs to a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath house with a large, eat in kitchen, and more than one other room downstairs, so that I can, if necessary for my sanity, avoid watching episodes of The Wiggles over and over and over and over again. Of course, we will be in debt for eleventeen thousand years, but it's so worth it.

And, if I'm lucky, I'm never moving again.

Other than that, we took a trip to New York in April. Pretty much everything revolves around the house. And I'm pretty ok with that. You can often find me at my alternate address, Home Depot, where I spend far too much time and money.

The big mission these days is to figure where all of the important things are in our new town. We do have an In n Out Burger, 5 Starbucks, a Whole Foods, and a yarn store. I will probably check it out this weekend, but I don't imagine I will give up on my dealer anytime soon. I figure, if someone teaches you how to knit and solves your sock knitting crises, a mere 20 miles won't make you change permanently.

So that's the skinny. I'll try to post more often now that we have our DSL up and running.
