Bittersweet
Well, we are out of our house and have officially invaded mom and dad's. Dave and I moved ALL DAY Friday and Saturday. Wow, that is a lot of work... which reminds me why I don't want to do it again for years and years.
I think the four month break until our house is done is a good thing. Dave and I need that time to heal our sore arms. :)
Anyway, dad and I went over there yesterday for a few hours and finished up cleaning everything. We finally left about 3:30.
Although I am thrilled about the new house and our transition in life........it was not easy closing the door for the last time on an awesome house that we truly loved. Although Dave and I have only been in it for 8 years, it really has been "in the family" since it was built 20 years ago. Ted and his parents had lived in it before us, thus, that's how Stacy met Ted. Anyway, there are so many wonderful memories in that "first house" but we know that this next one will be the one in which the girls "grow up" in and will remember more so.
The transition has been as smooth as I had hoped. We are almost completely unpacked and organized into our new bedrooms.
We are getting used to eating grilled hamburgers at 10:30 in the morning. (How can you NOT get used to dad's grilled hamburgers.) Lauren has decided that she doesn't like Jello or Balogna which are two foods always accessable at mom and dad's. Emma and Brian have all of a sudden realized that they have more in common than we had thought. Both LOVE to flip through the Sunday ads and they have realized that they love the same shows on the Disney Channel.
We are doing well and hopefully will be able to post some pictures soon.
They are beginning to frame our house this week which is the "sweet" part of "bittersweet."

mmmm...I can taste the bologna and jello now. Just be sure there's a nice can of pears or fruit cocktail added! :)
