Boxes, boxes!

The boxes are starting to pile up. Closets are being emptied, drawers are being sorted, pictures are coming down...

and the mess is growing!

We haven't gotten to the paper plate stage yet but we're well on our way.

If it seems quite around here from lack of postings - 

it's not.

For the first time ever, we hired a cleaning service. Time simply won't allow us to do it and I'm not so sure my 7 month pregnant body wants much to do with it either. 

Arrangements are coming together. This move has been a tougher puzzle to piece together in order to have everything fall into place but God is working it out! 

A New Week

Well.  We did it.  We managed to get to a good stopping point in our homeschooling this year.  We will have to pick back up for about a month and half once we've moved.  The kids are excited to have the next 5 weeks school free!  But their excitement doesn't even come close to mine...I am free to pack!

This week marks the beginning of our sorting, pitching, packing and making a real mess ;~)

I am eager to dive in and hear only the sound of packaging tape and tunes turned up.  

That's this week.  

And the next couple of weeks.

We have a house.

Praise God! 

We close on June 14th.

We have to be out of this house on June 14th.

Let me just say that June 14th will be one busy day!

Yes, we are excited.

Yes, I have been wasting my time dreaming up color swatches and projects for the Mister.

No, Matthew has not been dreaming up color swatches.

Yes, he has been calculating costs and number crunching (yawn). 

I am always way ahead of myself in this department - but it's fun. 

And I like dreaming up ideas to make our house a home.

Matthew is a dreamer, too. He just dreams more level headed than I do.

Our hunting is over.

Now to pack...
