We are a "shoes off" kind of family. So, the day that the moving truck was scheduled to arrive Rachel Lee, out of habit, took off her shoes and lined them up by the front door. It made me tear up...we were home. After two crazy months of packing, living in temporary housing, and just getting by, we were about to begin the settling in process. Not that having our stuff would make us feel settled, but it would help us feel comfortable while we begin to settle.
The truck arrived a few hours later than originally scheduled, so Kate was done with school and able to be around while the movers moved all our stuff in. And although the moved the stuff in, it was still SUCH a mess. It seemed like each room was filled with boxes...
The downstairs family room...
...the upstairs living room...
...the master bedroom...
...the girl's bedroom...
...the study/guest room...
...and the dining room.
That's not even showing the kitchen, which I could not walk in to get a picture, or the deck, downstairs storage area or small garage that we have. I sure had my work cut out when the left, and I almost cried for a different reason...too much stuff! But, slowly and surely we have unpacked and are beginning to make this house our home. Praise God for a place to live!
