Moving Update!

My feet hurt for the blisters on both heels.
I have multiple bruises on every extremity.
My sore back sends shooting pain down both legs.
My neck and shoulders are full of knots.
Exhaustion has rendered circles under both eyes that give the impression I've been in a fight.

And I still have work to do at the old place.

Not much, though.  I should finish up on Wednesday night.  And that can't come soon enough.

But the new house is fun!  We're still living out of boxes, but I'm determined that I will cook a pasta dinner in our kitchen tomorrow.

I love our patio, and we've already hung out there a bit during the recent rainstorm.

We had our new washer/dryer delivered and installed yesterday, and there is a load just finishing up in the dryer now.  Laundry is one of those things that makes me ridiculously happy.

DM's Spring Break is coming up next week and we'll start building our planter beds.  This is also something that makes me ridiculously happy!  Remember last summer when I couldn't stop talking about my tomatoes?  This year will be even better.  We're starting to price out upright freezers so we can put up more veggies!

There may be a housewarming party in our future.... stay tuned!

In the meantime, I'm putting my tired, sore body to bed.  Night-night.

Long Weekend of Joy and Joyness

This weekend, we've been in foster care Foundations training.  It is so much more fun than we thought it would be!  They've really done a bang-up job of keeping everything interesting and thought-provoking over the loooooooong weekend.

We're also starting to make friends with the folks at our table, P & I, and W & M.  I really hope that we maintain contact after the class.  Like, what if they joined Dining Club??

In other news... we get the keys to our new place in just a few days!!  Life is so good!!
