Moving Day!

I think at least 10 times today already, either Tom or I have declared, "I can't believe we have this house!"

8:00AM - Dennis arrives with E&R to babysit the kids at the house
8:30AM - Oscar's Moving Company arrives
11:15AM - All loaded, drive to the house
11:30-1:15PM - Ang stands in 22 degree weather directing the flow of boxes
1:15PM - Last box moved in
2:15PM - Breakfast
3:15PM - Ang finally takes off coat after 2 hours in house
3:30PM - First box emptied
4:30PM - Kids' bedroom all set up with beds and sheets
5:00PM - Internet up and running (priorities!)
5:15PM - House starts to feel like ours, not the Y's
5:30PM - Kids in our hair, just sent them down to the basement. Man, I LOVE THIS HOUSE!
6:00PM - Tom's parents arrive from Pittsburgh
9:30PM - Kids in bed in our first night in our new home.

And who knows how long before Tom and I get to bed. It's been great to have Tom's parents here visiting. Kind of fills the house with more love. I mean, I'm going to love all the new space. But the new space is only as good as the people who fill it.

Thank you, God, for this house. An 11-month journey and we are finally home again.
