Is it Really Friday?

Good Friday Morning!

I had to look at my calendar to see what day it is.  It's been so busy the days seem to be running together.  There is so many little things to get done that we haven't really started on the big stuff yet.  

Now that we have the keys to the house we can get things rolling on a few renovations.  Getting contractors to do the work is another story.  <grr>

The other night we took the truck to unload my stamping supplies and other things we brought down.  We did this in the evening as it was a wee bit cooler.  I was a drenched rat once we had finished.  I don't think I've sweat that much.  CRAZY.

On our way from my mom's to our new home I couldn't help but stop and take a picture of this.  I was blown away by the sunset. It was the most beautiful thing I've seen.  

Sure, I've seen a sunset or two but this was the drive to my home.  It was picture perfect.  My cheeks hurt from smiling. 

Yesterday was filled with business stuff that needs to be done.  You know… health care, register kids for schools, utilities.  Blah. Nothing fun but has to be done.  We were ALL over the place.   At some point you have to make it fun… 

The funniest thing we have noticed being here just a few days… everyone talks to you.  In Virginia you are typically late getting to appointments becasue of traffic.  Here  you run late because everyone talks to you.  Russ and I smile big because we are the two biggest chatty cathy's around.  We love it.  We've made all kinds of friends so far… gas stations, city hall, title company. LOL.  It's amazing how we never had time there but some how I can feel the slower pace already.   My cheeks still hurt from smiling.  

The kids are doing fantastic.  Still very happy and they've seen their new schools.  They are excited to meet new friends.  Everything is rolling into place.  If I had to find a down side to ANY of this… no creative time. I know this will pass but I miss it.  I know I'm lacking in the inspiration department but know it will come soon.  

Again, we cannot thank you enough for your continued prayers and support. Your emails and comments of encouraging words make our move so much easier.  I'm so thankful to you. My entire family is thankful to you.  

XOXOXOXO
