It has been a crazy few weeks. We moved out of our house, the only house that our girls have ever known. Since our new house was not ready yet, we bunked with my parents for a couple of weeks. Then, when we finally closed on our new house, we moved in with just the girls beds, an air mattress for hubs & I, and not much else!
The first few days were interesting! We did not have much, but it was the best time. It was enjoyable to have the closeness with not a whole lot of stuff to get in the way of family time.
Moving all of our stuff was a very, very, very long day. But let me just say that we had so much help and that made things go a lot better. It was so great to see the love of so many people that were just wanting to help us, with nothing in return.
Unpacking... oh the unpacking... It is no fun! LoL One bag at a time. One box at a time.
We are not even 1/2 way through the unpacking yet. But we are making progress.
It is a little humbling to see how much junk we have accumulated over the years. There are so many people who need things, and yet we have an abundance of stuff that we just do not need.
I am so very thankful we downsized on our house size. The whole family is so much happier since we have been here. The dogs included. We have just been able to really spend so much more time together as a family, which is something we were all longing for.
Discovering the true meaning of family has been a memory that I could never explain. Every family needs to have the closeness that we have been discovering lately.
Family is around. The girls have had more family around them lately than they have since they were born. It has been truly amazing to see family more. And plan things more often to keep more family around them, and us.
So hopefully now that things have settled down some I will be able to blog more often and keep ya'll up to date on everything!
Until then, Sincerely,
A Very Happy Girl
