I know....I know....

Way too much time has passed since my last post! Don't think you are the only one who has noticed! It feels as though Blake and I have been sprinting through our days this past month or so. Life has been crazy! If you didn't hear yet, WE MOVED!!! So exciting, so much fun, so much work, little nerve-racking, little scary, lots of feelings as though we don't even deserve our beautiful home, but all in all we are soooooooooooo very happy. We love our new home!! New home means new responsibilities, which brings on new worries, but the benefits far outweigh the down sides.

So you might think....I didn't know they were looking to move. Yeah, neither did we. It all happened so quickly. We closed escrow in 5 days. We decided on a Friday, yes let's do this. That Monday we began all of our inspections, one after another after another, by Thursday we closed escrow. It took us about 2 weeks to get things ready to move in. We worked day and late, late nights painting, cleaning, packing, more packing, removing light fixtures, adding fixtures, more, and more painting, and then finally we had the big move.

We can not thank everyone enough for your help. Both of our families, on Blake's side and mine, were awesome!! Every one of you helped us so much. I can not express to you how much each thing you did, meant so much to us and helped relieve so much stress. Thank you for hanging in there with me even through the tears of being overwhelmed. Our family helped so much with the fun and the not so fun stuff with moving. Josh and Meg, Garrett and Ash, Rob Donnelly, Chelsey, Bradley, Paco....the list goes on and on, thank you so much for helping move us. Meg, my closet still looks beautiful! Thank you. I would have to say that my mom has put in the most hours at our new and old house, which I am so grateful for everything she did. Thank you Mom!! REALLY close behind her hours are our wonderful friends Blake and Christina. I look around the house and almost everything that has been painted or hung you either had your hand upon it or helped talk through ideas for it. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you for every hour you two spent and for taking on the projects as though it was your own house. WE are so grateful for your hard work and for helping make it so much fun throughout the process! Blake and I can not thank you all enough.

We are finally to the point that we can enjoy each room. By no means are we done, but we are very settled and settling in more and more each day. Aubrey loves her new home too. She loves sitting at the patio door looking outside. Yesterday I had to come check on her because she had been way too quiet for way too long that I thought she had gotten into something and I come around the corner and see she is still where I left her just soaking up the view of the backyard, sitting so cute on her knees. I took a picture and I will add some later. We actually don't have internet yet. We still need to hook up our computer. But in the meantime, I had to at least get some kind of post in to share how sorry I am for my absence. I will be back. I have missed the blogging world!!
