SETTLED - AT LAST

Six months and one baby later - the last box was unpacked last night. It feels so great to actually have everything unpacked and a PLACE for EVERYTHING. The only time before now that we have ever had everything unpacked was the year we lived in OUR house in Texas. When we rent houses, we don't bother unpacking everything (knowing you will have to pack it up again) and we NEVER had space for everything. It is a GREAT feeling.

Paul had definently earned his kayak now. After we worked ALL weekend on the garage, he came home a little early Monday and mowed our lawn, then the neighbors lawn (the house has been empty and for sale since before we moved in - and they only come and mow about every 6 weeks or so!). Paul has always mowed to their driveway so their weeds won't take over our lawn, but he decided to do a good deed and mowed it all, edged and cleaned up all of the cut grass.

When he finished all of that - he started working on the garage. After I got done working inside and getting all of hte boys to bed, I went out and helped. We were out there until about 11pm.

Yesterday, he came home late from work and as soon as he finished eating he went straight to the garage. He came in about 10 and announced that the garage was done. Once we get our second big trashcan from the garbage company and we get the big trash (some boxes, shovel etc) out, we will both be able to park in the garage and not have to trip on a bunch of stuff on the floor. SO EXCITING!!

Until then, the kids and I are enjoying the car being back in the garage!
