moving

2 weeks!

It’s been 2 weeks since we signed on the dotted line twenty million times and got the keys to our new home! And we’ve made some special memories in those two weeks, such as… camping out the first night in front of the fire place in an empty house riding bikes (every day since we got here… and I can’t believe how much better they are at riding bikes now… I have 3 proficient 2 wheelers now!

Bittersweet Thoughts of Gratitude

I remember vividly the first night we spent in our house. We were first time home owners. And we were giddy. As we lay on the floor in our bedroom looking up at the ceiling I remember Scott commenting on the ceiling fan. “Look at that ceiling fan! We own it!” I on the other hand couldn’t get my eyes of the red blinking light from the smoke detector…. wondering how would I fall asleep with it constantly blinking.
