a post from the trenches...

Hello everybody! What day is it today? Tuesday? Thursday? I don't even know anymore. The last few weeks have been a blur of boxes and backaches. For some bizarre reason I assumed that it would take me 4-5 days max to unpack but here I am 11 days after the move with a ridiculous number of boxes still left to go through. I obviously underestimated how much crap we have. Most of our stuff has been in storage for the past 20 months so it has been kinda fun finding lost treasure that we had completely forgotten about.
I have a linen closet! So luxurious!   And I had completely forgotten about this clock I bought in Scotland ages ago.

Finding this box of maternity clothes kinda ruined my day.
And finding a box of Shye's newborn clothes made me super emotional. That onsie was her going home from the hospital outfit. Hard to believe she was ever that tiny.
Do you hear that? That is sound of Brian crying because I found these bright green capris again. He hates them so much.

Shye breaking in our new rug. And my cheese slicers! I've missed them so much.

Our new church building looks like something out Hansel & Gretel. Going to church in such a pretty building has really strengthened my testimony. ;)

I'm hoping I can get the rest of our shiz unpacked and organized this week so that I can start going out and exploring. We are within walking distance of downtown and it looks like there are lots of fun things to do there. Playdates anyone?

  1. Oh I would so meet you downtown for a playdate on the days I have off, like this coming Monday. I love downtown. I miss working there sometimes. You are also by one of my favorite parks to run in.

    1. I so do not enjoy unpacking, though I think it is slightly better than unpacking. Glad you're enjoying your new place. And your new church would totally strengthen my testimony too.

  3. I'm sorry that unpacking has been more time consuming than you thought, but that is always fun discovering forgotten treasures. I love that clock! And your church building. So pretty!
