Sorry about the lack of post during the last couple of weeks. We have been so busy packing, moving, and unpacking. I have been absolutely exhausted. I feel like I didn't stop working between Thursday the 16th through, well, I'm still working at unpacking....
We are still over-the-moon excited about our new house. Every day I find something new to love about it and pinch myself to make sure this is all real. I never dreamed that our first house would be so perfect. Mike says it doesn't feel like home yet. But there is still a lot to do to make it "ours". I want to put some paint on the walls and there are a lot of pictures and other miscellaneous decorations that need to be put up. Also, the dining room still feels big and empty. All we have is a table in the middle. It is a sizable table that fits the area well, but the space surrounding it is very empty. My mom is giving me an old buffet that I will put on one side of the dining room, then I hope to find a china hutch for the other side, or possible a corner unit. We also need to find some shelving units for the office and build Mike a desk. He's got it all designed in "Google". It's actually pretty neat. It will be made out of kitchen counter-top and will sort of "float". And it should cost under $200.
We're not unpacked to the point of reveal pictures, but I will tease you with a few pictures I've taken over the last week. Hopefully, I will have reveal pictures tomorrow. I have to work late tonght, but I think I'll take tomorrow off and unpack, unpack, unpack....

Kamron thought he could be sneaky and get moved into our house. ;) He was a great sport during the move and helped move all the things he could and even helped with bigger stuff too. The highlight of his day was running through the sprinklers!
We started transplanting our veggies earlier this week. I can't wait to get them in the ground. Only a couple more weeks until our frost threat is over. Here are the peas. Still doing great!
And here are some of the zucchini. Also doing very well. You can see they are developing their "true leaves". There was a small tragedy during a wicked wind storm last night when some of the plants were blown off the front porch. Luckily it was only a few of the pots. Most of them should be fine.
These are a couple of gnomes that my grandma's boyfriend, Bill gave us. He also bought us a girl and boy gnome sitting on a log bench that I don't have a picture of yet. They are so cute. Yesterday, I named them (lying down) Gnomie, (sitting) Gnomer, (boy on bench) Gnomad, (girl on bench) Gnomette. Hahahahahaha. I told Mike that I want to keep buying silly figurines and keep adding them to the front yard, just to see how far I can go before the HOA brings the hammer down. I don't think I actually will, mostly because those cheap little fugurines are actually quite expensive.
I took this picture of the sunset on Wednesday night. Isn't it beautiful?
