Taking a Breather!

Oh boy!!!!  What a month it has been!!!!!!  A 45-day escrow turned into a 3-month long escrow.  HORRIBLE!!!!!  Nothing like going through a trial to see what your faith is made of!  

Well, with most of the repercussions of the escrow behind us, we can proudly say, "We ARE Homeowners!!!"  I am not quite to the point that I am excited yet.  I think at this point we're just relieved.  I start back to teaching a week from today, and am freaking out quite a bit.  I'm not nearly has prepared at this point as I should be.  There has just been too much housing stuff going on, and taking care of our two angels.

Anyhow, we are 99% moved into OUR home.  We couldn't stay tonight because neither the stove nor dishwasher was installed today.  We also can't turn on our water until the repairs are done.  We can't clean until the water is on, and we can't put stuff away until the cleaning is done...etc...etc..etc... You get the picture.

I am learning (slowly) that I DO NOT need to do everything at once.  I had it in my mind that I wanted everything to be absolutely PERFECT when we moved, well, things didn't exactly work out my way.  :)

I am excited about the projects coming our way.  The immediate thing thought, is getting stuff put away somewhat, and FINALLY being able to have our Nemo Party for Nathan's 1st birthday.  Poor guy, I had to push the original date back, then had to cancel when our house didn't close on time (for the THIRD time - LLLOOONNNGGG story).  

We are happy to have our own place and slowly putting things together.  The kids have been top priority.  Natty is just thrilled with her room.  It makes just feel so good to see her light up.

Well, that is it for now for updates.  I thought I'd take a breather since I hadn't updated in 2 weeks.

Happy Wednesday!
