Not sure how many more things we could have fit into the last two weeks. Packing, moving, whole family trip to Sioux Falls, crazy work, blechhch. Hence, no time for blogging. Didn't have internet at home, anyway.
But things are shaping up. The new house is kind of a mess and we still have some painting in the basement to do, but I am really LOVING living here so far. We were sad when we went to pick up the cat (the last thing) from our old house, but that faded fast. It's just such a nice feeling to have enough space and storage. We are situated up on a hill, and at night I can see the lights of the rest of the development below from bed, which is a really cozy feeling. We have so many big windows that we just open everything up after work and it cools off fast. We've only turned our A/C on once, actually.
It's just such a good feeling to be in a home we can actually be in for a while. I didn't realize how aware I was of being quiet for the renters, of how much anxiety I had from being crammed into that small space. This is already so much better. That house was great for us as a starter home. It was a special set-up that actually helped us be able to buy a house, the equity from which helped us be able to afford this house. It was a good fit then, and now this is a better fit. That was a couple's home, this is a home fit for a family. I feel blessed.
On the baby-front, Ainsley slept in her crib for the first time last night! I know it was time when I woke up yesterday morning and her leg was kicked up over the edge of the co-sleeper. Bassinets are not for giant monster babies!
Ok, off to procrastinate unpacking. Peace.
