Whoa.

Extended holiday in the Swiss Alps? Nope.

Short stint in the witness protection program? Nope.

Coma? Ummm....sort of?

Oh blog how I've thought of you over the past 5 months and just could. not. get. to you.

This is what I DID get to:

Went under contract on a house - one that we had been searching for for over 2 years.

Rented a storage unit. I know that sounds menial but trust me when I say that it was a big whopping deal. One that took FOREVER. Selling our house took less time than renting that storage unit.

Put our house on the market on a Wednesday.

Received an offer on Thursday.

Went under contract on Friday.

Shceduled a closing date.

Scheduled another closing date.

Had a freak out.

Scheduled another closing date.

CLOSED!!

MOVED!

Threw up in my car...while driving. Found a Japanese Wasp in our house. Found poo in our toilet (not Helbig poo. someone's poo).

RENOVATED!

Lived with almost everything we owned piled into one room for 6 weeks.

Fast forward to May, 2010 - we survived but re-reading this post (which was written way back when and just now getting posted) I still get a little nauseous. Moving took a toll on me that was completely unexpected. How my mom survived moving her family the seven times in just my life, not counting the numerous times before I came along, I will never know. But, the fact that almost every day Matt and I express how happy and thankful we are to be living in our new home makes every part of the journey to get here worth it.

Will post more pics when I can find them! This is the side road that goes down to our shed, and as of a few weeks ago, our garden. More on that to come as well!
