But that's not to say it hasn't been altogether entirely overwhelming and high stress. I've been wanting to write this blog since BEFORE we moved, and I haven't had the mental wherewithal to do it until now. (And let's be clear, I'm writing this while exhausted, so these aren't the best thoughts for sure.)
Moving is just altogether exhausting. And our children are SO amazing, but they're at pretty important stages of their lives. The day after we closed on the house, Henry started preschool - a huge step for all of us as this is the first time he's really ever done an activity without us around. The transition has been good but not without some tears, and that's been tough. And, you know, he's three, which is its own strange beast. Gratefully, he loves the new house and has been enjoying exploring all the new places. And Harrison - the DAY we moved into the house, he decided that was the day he was done with the army crawl and moved on to actual crawling. He thinks, though, that he can walk, and wants to stand and cruise all the time, even on places where there isn't furniture to cruise on. Needless to say, while I love our wood floors, I'm anxious for an area rug or two to soften some of the blows.
I had this grandiose plan for moving day that I was going to document it all with pictures and that my husband and I would do Chip and Joanna style check ins on my Instagram stories and it was going to be oh so fun.
You guys, what was I thinking?! Clearly I was delusional to think we were going to have even an iota of a second for that!
But this space - it's SO good. It's just so usable and gorgeous even covered in boxes that need unpacking and items that don't yet have a home. I'll have so many pictures to share once we have everything settled in, and I can't WAIT to share!
So for now, I'm going to go do some more unpacking and organizing (at least of the public spaces - our bedroom, the basement, and the guest room may not get touched for weeks - months!) so that home becomes homier.
