Moving in...
Tags:Today is moving day! Here's a couple peeks at the new place before the boxes get here.
Edited:for those of you who were wondering, we moved because we had been renting and the time was finally right for us to own our own home again. We found a great house just a few miles from the place we had been renting.
Kitchen:
Living Room:
And the reason I totally love this house...in my studio (and in Simon's bedroom) are these great, giant old-school built-in closets:
I am going to be able to get so much stuff in there.
And this is where I am sitting right now:
Planning to get a Christmas tree tonight. Simon is doing awesome. Totally gets the new house concept and wants all his toys moved to the new house asap.
For all the pain that moving is, it sure is fun to get into a new place. Love setting up everything in new places (and getting rid of stuff we are not using anymore). My friend Jill (who brought me more beer last night) is planning another garage sale for the beginning of March so I have been loading her up with lots of goodies both scrapbooking and otherwise. I will give you more details as that date gets closer.
Did I tell you that I am loving the carpet here - it is super cozy. We are all about cozy.

Congrats! What a lovely looking new home for all of you! Those closets would be my Christmas dream... our closet space sucks in our apartment now and everything is SO disorganized!
I'm glad you are all settling in nicely and it will be Christmas tonight in your home. All of my best to all of you this Christmas. During this season of commemorating blessings, I count you and your work among the blessings in my life.
Have a great Christmas and toast to a new year in your new home with some of that beer!
