So I didn't really give myself time to write this post. I have to pick up kids...in about 15 minutes or so. But I just thought I should steal any chance I get at this point, to blog. So here you have it.
What is going on at our house...? Some may be wondering (if anyone still reads this :)
Well...we just recently moved. 2 and half weeks ago I think. I am so busy with moving us in. I know that I have all the time in the world. People keep telling me that. However, I prefer "my space" as you call it...to be organized and pretty. I can't help it. I don't want to live around clutter. So I have got quite a bit done already (with Jake's help of course,) and the plan is
to be finished by Superbowl Sunday! Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Mari and Mike will be here for the big reveal. (By the way...they totally don't care...it just gives me a goal.)
Meanwhile, I keep walking past this saying in my TV room...
Find Joy in the Journey. I have to say with all the crazy changes....I think we are. I made it a goal this move to just enjoy it. Enjoy the fact that I get to clean, organize, (forced if you will to downsize)....but to enjoy that it is healthy and good to do this. I am loving getting this home more orderly than anyone before. I de-cluttered sooooo much before we moved and I have about 5 huge boxes more that I am de-junking. It is hard, (some of the stuff means a lot or is actually worth a lot) but there is no NEED for it...so it is gone. It feels wonderful! Things are finding their place in our smaller, more humble home. I can't wait to show pics of the finished product.
I had my birthday in all of this. The day after we moved in fact. It wasn't the best ( I can't lie.) It is hard to enjoy a birthday ...when you are still completely living out of boxes. But family was supportive and this last weekend Jake took me to a fabulous Vietnamese restaurant and then to a comedy club. It was WONDERFUL! It totally made up for the lack of fun a few weeks previous. 
So there you have it. We are SUPER busy...trying to put together a new home. There is a lot of measuring, sewing, rearanging and of course....life going on around here.
Oh...and to top it off (this probably needs it own blog post)....we started HOMESCHOOLING! So there is actually a lot more going on right now...hence the lack of blogging going on.

Ya, your place better be PICTURE PERFECT or we are NOT coming over!! (totally J/K!!) I really thought it was done the other night when we saw it, so I am excited to see more. Sounds like fun to me to organize...I love it!
I'm with you, I love cleaning, organizing, de-cluttering. It's what we do...make our surroundings beautiful. oh, and what's that little detail you through in at the end... youre what????Homeschooling??? I don't know how you do it, but would love to hear how you do. Did you choose to homeschool because of problems at the school?
