We moved!! We are in our new house and are so happy to be here! We closed Friday, December 28th. Unfortunately, not everything went according to plan...in fact, it was pretty crazy. Our furnace wouldn't stay on the first night, even after having someone come out twice. He would get it going and it would start to warm up, only to turn off by itself after a while. We moved everything in on Saturday. Camden also started getting really sick Friday night and I had to leave in the middle of the day Saturday to take him to the doctor. Poor guy was running a really high fever, and having asthma symptoms again. I stayed at Mom and Dad's with the kids that night while Robert tried to get some work done around the house. The furnace was still out, but with the help of the fireplace, the oven, the dryer, and some space heaters, it was about 60 degrees downstairs. Camden had a rough night, but the fever finally broke the following morning. Mom watched the boys for me for a few hours in the morning so I could get some work done at the house. The part they needed to fix the furnace finally came in on Monday and they got the house nice and toasty. The boys and I came over after I got done cleaning Aunt Karen's house and we settled in for our first night in our new house!
We still have a long way to go to get settled in. Most everything is unpacked (other than some decorations that haven't found a home yet) and organized. We have one painting on the wall in our bathroom and we've hung curtains in the bedrooms and family room. That's all the further we've gotten right now. We have a long list of work to do and I am trying desperately to silence my Type A personality that is screaming at me to get it all done...NOW! Fact of the matter is, between the kids and every day tasks like laundry, dishes, cleaning, and cooking, there isn't much time for anything else. I manage to get about one "project" in getting this house settled every day and I'm counting that as a win for now. We spent last Saturday running errands, including a very long visit to Lowe's with a very long list. Sunday was jam-packed and this weekend isn't looking much different. Praying for some time to get stuff done soon!
