we moved

We moved into our house, YAY! Its big. And even though I should be unpacking boxes, we got our internet back today so I have to write. So much has gone on this weekend, I don't even know where to start. So I guess I'll just keep it simple and say that we moved, I helped cater a wedding and bought a washer and dryer in the past three days. The wedding was beautiful, the house is a mess (boxes everywhere) and the washer and dryer are coming tomorrow. We got the whirlpool duet system. 15 years ago if I thought I would be THIS excited about home appliances I would slap myself silly. But I am. I can't wait. I may actually do laundry, happily, instead of letting all of our clothes run out and having to throw something in at midnight so there is something to wear the next day. And the best part is, the dryer dries in 30 minutes. Maybe it won't take all week to get the laundry done, just to have 15 more loads waiting to be washed.

So far the house has met our expectations. There is actually less fighting when the boys have some space to breathe away from each other. Of course we have only been here for two days. But I am hopeful. My only complaint about the house is that the dining area is on carpet. With the amount of spills that happen in our house, that carpet will be thrashed in 2.4 days, tops. But, who cares? They are kids. They spill. We will take that carpet out someday anyway. (And when I say "someday" I mean when pigs fly because that will be about the time we will be able to afford it.)

So, life is good. We are in a home that better suits the needs of our family. Our old home is currently in escrow and everything seems to be going well on that front. And we are healthy and so are the boys. Next week I take the boys on our annual summer trip to the cabin in Cedar City UT thanks to the generosity of a dear friend (thanks Shannon) and we can spend a week getting dirty and swinging on the tire swing, and playing in the river cave. I can't wait.

Photos coming soon (I can't remember where I packed the camera).
