Needless to say, things have been quite hectic around here but I have a few minutes so I thought I would post a few pictures from our move last October. In some cases, the timing of our move was not ideal as I was due any day (although, Chloe didn't actually show up until a full month later!) but I'm so thankful we got into a house before Chloe did arrive and that we had a little bit of time to get settled (even though it was mainly Jeremiah moving us in as I sat on the couch trying to stay comfortable and relax).
We, fortunately, had a lot of help with our move, from people donating boxes, a moving truck, and tape, to others helping me pack, unpack, and clean, to actually physically moving all of our stuff from our apartment to our garage. We didn't start to live in our house until a week after escrow closed and we moved the majority of our things over as we were having the inside painted and carpet put in the upstairs.
By that time, I was just so thankful that escrow was finally over with as that was so much more emotional than I was anticipating (granted I was 9 months pregnant by that point!). Dealing with the painters was a whole other issue that I wasn't prepared for as well but they did do a good job and there was no way we could have painted everything ourselves, cleaned, and prepared for Chloe all at the same time - so it definitely was a must!
I just hung our first pictures in our house (in our Master bedroom) this last weekend - only took me 6 months! But I have been a little preoccupied, to say the least. I'm looking forwards to hanging some more soon and adding additional final touches to really make this place feel like our home. I'm so thankful for all that God has blessed us with!
